North American fans of the original console version can now take it on-the-go.
Persona 3 Portable has been available for several months now exclusively in Japan. Today, Atlus announced that the title will be making its way overseas for release this summer.
The title is known for several key differences from its PS2 brethren, including a new female protagonist whose story will take players through areas not seen in the original home console version.
The battling system has also been modified and will now feature many of the same concepts found in Persona 4. Additionally, players will no longer be able to freely walk about Tartarus.
Persona 3 Portable for the PSP is currently scheduled for release on July 6 in North America.
