Persona 4 Arena release pushed up in Japan

Persona 4 Arena is now bumped up to July 26 from its original August 2 release date in Japan.

Atlus, the game's publisher in North America, has not confirmed a date for the US, but did recently change the launch window to "summer 2012."

Chances are we're now looking at a day sometime in July.

Developed by Arc System Works, Persona 4 Arena combines the fighting style of Guilty Gear and Blazblue with Atlus's social RPG series, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona.
