Persona 3 Portable gets a new video, US pre-order bonus
Atlus has released a trailer for Persona 3 Portable over on the US PS Blog, and in a post to go along with it, Atlus PR superstar Aram Jabbari chats a bit about the Dark Hour.
Apparently, in Persona 3 Portable’s world, there’s a “hidden hour between the end of one day and the start of another” and you – the player – are one of the gifted few who can access it.
It’s all rather interesting, so you should check it out.
Oh, and if you are in the US and pre-order the game through select retailers, you’ll get a spiffy Persona baseball cap.
Watch the trailer below. It’s out in the US July 6.
