Atlus U.S.A. will bring Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 for the PlayStation 2 to North America this summer. This distinctly Japanese RPG will be packaged in a special collector’s box with an art book and a CD soundtrack. P3 is the newest RPG from the publisher of the acclaimed Shin Megami Tensei series and marks the return of the series after eight long years of waiting.

In Persona 3, assume the role of a high school student, orphaned as a young boy, who’s recently transferred to Gekkoukan High School on Port Island. Shortly after his arrival, he is attacked by creatures of the night known as Shadows. The assault awakens his Persona, Orpheus, from the depths of his subconscious, enabling him to defeat the terrifying foes. He soon discovers that he shares this special ability with other students at his new school. From them, he learns of the Dark Hour, a hidden time that exists between one day and the next, swarming with Shadows.
