New characters and new Personas have been added, new areas are available to explore, new events and new cutscenes are included to further flesh out the story, and new equipment to change the party's physical appearances is in there, as well. Though the main plot remains the same, many of the gameplay elements are further developed or added to in Persona 4 Golden. Alongside a group of his fellow classmates, he must channel his own strange being known as a Persona to fight these monsters. He soon gets caught up in an investigation concerning a series of murders, all of which are connected to the mysterious Midnight Channel and the monsters known as Shadows. The player takes the role of a nameless protagonist, having recently moved into a rural town called Inaba to live with his uncle and cousin. It plays exactly the same as the original game, but with many new additions thrown in. Persona 4 Golden operates much like the re-release of the previous Persona game, Persona 3 Portable for the PSP. The date seems legitimate, as it falls on a Tuesday, which is the typical day of the week for most game releases. Persona 4 Golden was initially given the ambiguous release date of sometime this Fall, but the GameStop website lists the official date as October 23, 2012. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, originally released on PlayStation 2 back in 2008, will be receiving an updated re-release as Persona 4 Golden on the PlayStation Vita. Despite success like Trauma Center and Catherine, Atlus remains most recognized for its Persona series.
