Atlus Unveils “Persona 4 Golden” Trailer

Persona 4: Golden was announced in August 2011 as a remake of Persona 4 (PlayStation 2) for the PlayStation Vita. It was originally planned by Atlus to be a PSP title, similar to Persona 3 Portable, which would have required removing some of the features of the PlayStation 2 game.

It is an expanded version of the PlayStation 2 title, adding new features and story elements to the game, including a new character named Marie. Additional Personas, character outfits, expanded spoken lines, and anime cutscenes are included as well as two new Social Links for Marie and Tohru Adachi. The game supports the wireless networking features of the Vita, allowing a player to call in help from other players that are playing at the same time to help in dungeon battles. Another new feature is a garden that produces items the player can use in the various dungeons.

The game has already been released in Japan and Asia but for North America and Europe will have to wait just a wee bit longer.
