By Tamoor Hussain for CVG UK

Zen United has released a new trailer for Persona 4 Arena, teasing the continuation of the story from the Persona 4 JRPG.

"Set after the events of Persona 4 and focusing on the sinister tournament the 'P1 Grand Prix' - Yu and the Investigation Team must enter the Midnight Channel to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of his friends, Rise and Kanji.

"Meanwhile, Teddie seems to be acting very strangely, and a brand new character, the mysterious Labrys, has appeared. How are these events linked? And why is the Midnight Channel back on air?"

Persona 4 Arena's single-player mode is said to feature over 30 hours of gameplay, spanning 12 individual story campaigns. It brings together characters from both Persona 3 and Persona 4 with new ones.

The Arc System Works developed fighting game was originally scheduled to launch in Europe last year but was delayed due to localisation issues.

In March, publisher Zen finally nailed down a Persona 4 Arena release date of May 10 in Europe.
