Persona 4 Arena Ultimax New Character Videos Released by Atlus

News: Atlus has just released character videos for Sho, Minazuki and Shadow Labrys showing off some more of P4AU on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Atlus has just released three new Persona 4 Arena Ultimax character videos to help whet your appetite for the game’s release on September 30. Sho is the first newcomer, sporting red hair, dual katanas and lacking in one very big category: a Persona. Don’t automatically assume that is a weakness though as he has plenty of strengths. Then there is Minazuki, who looks exactly like Sho, but throws his new Persona, Tsukiyomi, into the mix. Finally Shadow Labrys rounds out the mix with her monstrous axe and even more monstrous Persona, Asterius.

In P4AU, the characters from Persona 4 and Persona 3 once again find themselves teaming up to face off in the P-1 Climax, a series of battles which must be won before the world ends. The original cast of characters from Persona 3 and 4 are back to discover the mastermind behind the whole tournament, while a few new faces join the fight, including Junpei Iori, Yukari Takeba, Rise Kujikawa, and more. But standing in their way is the dual katana-wielding Sho Minazuki, a huge threat to everyone involved in the P-1 Climax. Worse yet, there's a Sho lookalike who can wield a Persona.

Each playable character in P4AU is involved in a story mode that continues past their individual games to reveal more about them and how they came to be involved in the P-1 Climax. P4AU expands on its pedigree as a tournament-caliber fighting game with a new Shadow type with completely different fighting mechanics for each character. Both newcomers and hardcore gamers alike can find the style that works best for their individual style.
