[PS3, X360] Updated Persona 4 Arena revealed; includes two more Persona 3 characters

I have only just picked up my PlayStation Vita lately so I've been on a serious Persona binge, so I was a more than a little excited when I saw news that a sequel to Persona 4 Arena was in development. However, that excitement has cooled off somewhat now that I've discovered that we're still not sure if it is a full sequel or if it'll be an update, which we know that Arc are infatuated with.

Reports seem divided currently; VG247 note that both Gematsu and Shoryuken labelled the game as a sequel when translating the Famitsu report, but Siliconera is much more vague concerning whether this will be a sequel or just an update.

What we do know is that the update will include two characters from Persona 3, who'll also be sporting updated designs to coincide with the time lapse between events. Both Yukari and Junpei will be joining the playable cast of characters and they'll both be bringing very different attributes to the fray.

Arc System Works will be testing the updated fighter at Hey Arcade in Akihabara and Taito Station Nihombashi. Hopefully we'll find out what form this update will take soon enough, I will not be optimistic considering how Arc System Works has handled the BlazBlue franchise so far. You can check out some off-screen photos over at Famitsu.

Now I'll continue waiting for Persona 5.
