Persona 4 Arena seamlessly integrates the rich characters and worlds of a Japanese RPG with the exciting one-on-one combat of a fighting game.

Taking place two months after the events of Persona 4, Persona 4 Arena is a direct sequel and a truly original adventure. After Teddy's sudden disappearance in Inaba, his friends discover someone who looks like Teddy in a pirate costume, who announces a fighting tournament called the "P-1 Grand Prix" to see who will be the "Ultimate Persona User". Confused by this turn of events, they re-form a team and enter the tournament to find out what happened to their friend, but are ultimately forced to face off against each other.

Each character has their own unique story and path to uncovering secrets. The game's story is told through all-new anime sequences and scenarios written by the Persona team.
