Yeah, Persona 4: Arena is region locked for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That’s the bad news. On the plus side, Persona 4: Arena will be released in Japan, North America, and Europe this year.
"It’s always our intention to keep the delay between US/JP and EU to a minimum and we appreciate people’s patience," a representative from Zen United, the European publisher of Persona 4: Arena explained to Siliconera. "We don’t have an official release date to confirm at this time, but we hope to be able to do so soon."
Zen United hasn’t set a release date, but Persona 4: Arena is slated for 2012. The European release will have an option to switch between Japanese and English too. They’ve been discussing the idea of an EU region limited edition on Facebook, as well.
