Several new screenshots have been released by the Japanese branch of Atlus for the upcoming Playstation Vita exclusive role-playing title, Persona 4: The Golden.
Atlus announced a few months ago that they would bring some of their most popular Japanese titles to America. Today, they have made an announcement that has many Sony giddy with joy. Check out the full story for all the details.
A new trailer vid has been dropped for the adaption anime of the Persona 4 video game titled, Persona 4: The Animation. In this video from Japan we get to see a sneak peak, let's hope it releases in USA eventually as well.
A video has been floating around the internet recently. Its a mess of trains, people, signs, and a television. One thing stands out. Right at the end, a link appears on the screen. A name anyone familiar with Persona would recognise.

This site would mean that ATLUS have something planned for the small town of Inaba. The countdown ends right on time for our very own airing of the famous Midnight Channel, right on midnight on the 11th of April in Japan.

"When Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 released in North America, it hit gamers like a shot to the head. The next-generation was well underway, yet this bizarre PS2 title—a fusion of Japanese dating simulators with RPG mechanics calling for players to shoot themselves to summon demons based upon world religions in a Jungian representation of urban Japan—swayed many. That’s an impressive feat in itself, and even more impressive was the quick release of Persona 4, its true sequel that built upon th..."
"The Persona series is a spin off from the Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner series. Many people have hardly heard of the Devil Summoner series so it is reasonable to assume you have never heard of the Persona series(Persona 4 is technically the fifth installment in that series, so again it unlikely many have actually heard about it). Secondly, Persona 4 was never really well advertised and was a smaller title from Atlus so initially it went unnoticed on many gamers' radars."
Somewhat intimidated by the technical complexities behind a successful cosplay, TK-Nation's Cassandra Khaw investigates a variety of Persona-related costumes. 4ng31's portrayal of Izanagi has her convinced she shouldn't give up her day job.
"“We Are Preparing To Start Work On The Next Persona”
Katsura Hashino, Director of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, said in a Dengeki PlayStation interview.
Rumors of Persona 5 have been swirling since last year. One article even mentioned Shoji Meguro as the game’s producer even though it has not been officially announced by Atlus.
In the column, Hashino also said he wants to add elements expected of the series and change things within those constraints. When Hashino joined the Persona..."

"The last decade was an absolutely amazing one, at least where videogames were concerned. The new technologies of the past two console generations have enabled the medium to soar to incredible new heights, introducing entirely new types of experiences and – perhaps more notably – delivering the sexy better than ever before. The decade from 2000 to 2009 brought us increasingly realistic (or at least convincingly idealized) heroines and heroes that not only looked hot when rendered in 3D, but al..."

During the Shin Megami Tensei Pachislot's promotional event in Japan, a pachislot publication named 7rush believes that they might have dropped the ball on Persona 5. According to the report, it was revealed at the event that Persona 5 will be released on the PS3. They said that the game will be formally announced by Atlus soon during the Shin Megami Tensei craze.
However, an alternate report of the event from Dengeki Online failed to mention anything about the news.
"Persona 4 is the latest installment of one of Atlus's many Shin Megami Tensei spin-off series. The game returns to the basics that its predecessor, Persona 3, laid, but fixed some common gripes many gamers had with P3 as well."
"The Playstation 2 is now $99, meaning you have absolutely no excuse to not have one. In fact, you’ve already gone to the store and bought one, right? Good!

Now that you are a proud owner of your Playstation 2 system, I am starting a series for you on what games you need to get. Each week I’ll look at a genre and what in that genre you need to g..."
"Once again I have a new column, Dear Developers. This will be a wish-list of what I, or whoever else contributes to the column, want in the next iteration of a franchise. Things that could be improved, things that could be removed, and things that would just be awesome. For the pilot, I figured Id do what is now my favorite game series, Persona."
"Persona 4 is a gripping new chapter in the ultra-cool Persona universe, integrating dungeon crawler gameplay with an innovative social simulation element. Persona 4 delivers an all-new story set in the Japanese countryside. A sequence of mysterious deaths hits your town and only you and your team of gifted supernatural detectives can uncover the truth. Will you frustrate this hidden evils plans before it is too late?"
