Back in November, Atlus announced 4 new Persona games, at that time however there was no timeline of when or if the series would reach North America. Earlier this week, Atlus confirmed that all 4 Persona games will be reaching North America.
Currently set for Fall of 2014 is the Chibi-style dungeon crawler for the 3DS, Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth, brings the party of Persona 3 and Persona 4 characters together to solve a mystery of an alternate Yasogami High School. The game is discribed to be a cross between Etrian Odyssey and Persona. You can see the first English trailer for the game above.

Also coming in Fall 2014 is the enhanced re-released of our 2012 fighting game of the year, Persona 4 Arena. The new version called Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is stated to include 3 new characters including Persona 3’s fan favourites Junpei Iori and Yukari Takeba, as well as a wholly new character, the mysterious Sho Minazuki. It appears that the game will continue the story mode by bringing the fight out of the Midnight Channel and re-introduce the Dark Hour.
