First, Persona 4 is on its way to PlayStation Vita in a new form called Persona 4 The Golden. It features additional content like a new character, more voice acting, and new animated sequences. It is set to release in Japan next summer, but no North American plans were revealed.
In a stranger development, a Persona-themed fighting game (including characters from 3 and 4) is also on the way. It is being made by Arc System Works, the studio responsible for the BlazBlue and Guilty Gear fighting games.
Lastly, development on Persona 5 is reportedly underway. Preliminary development is complete, according to producer Katsura Hashino. The staff is now getting ready to begin the actual development process.
Big news day for all of us Persona fans!
