Atlus announced Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is now available for download on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and even the PSP.
Presented as a parallel world to the events that unfolded in Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 2 Eternal Punishment delivers all the gameplay and action from the original Eternal Punishment title, delivering the missing chapter to fans to complete the full Persona experience. The title is priced at $9.99.
About Persona 2 Eternal Punishment- Set in the metropolis of Sumaru City, Eternal Punishment takes place after the events of Innocent Sin, however exists as a separate story unrelated to Innocent Sin. Players control a party of oddballs brought together by disturbing events in Sumaru City: teen-focused magazine reporter Maya Amano, her unlucky-in-love boxer friend Ulala Serizawa, the upright police detective Katsuya Suou, and a shady Taiwanese fixer known as “Baofu.” Together, the four characters become involved in the investigation of a serial killer known as the “Joker”, and must unravel the mystery of the Joker Curse.
As in the other Persona titles- players have the option to fight demons encountered or negotiate with them to earn items, assistance, or their Arcana cards in order to fuse new Personas and gain access to more powerful attacks. Additionally the game incorporates a rumor system, where players collect and exchange rumors throughout the game. Rumors taken to the Kuzunoha Detective Agency can be spread for a fee, changing the dynamic of the gameplay to alter storefronts and other gameplay elements.
