This is certainly unexpected - Atlus is rereleasing Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, the second Persona game released in the US. It isn’t some huge remake project though. Instead, Atlus is issuing a reprint of the PlayStation game and selling it directly through Amazon.

The reprint is exactly like the original Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, so if you always wanted to try the earlier Persona game, which was known for its rarity, you can experience the same game all the original fans did. There is also a special incentive to buy it - it comes with a extra disc that includes a Persona 2 anime trailer and an interview with the Persona 2 creators. Persona 3 fans may want to take this opportunity to see how the series got its start.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment stars Coolest magazine reporter Maya Amano as she investigates an urban legend that appears to be coming to life in Sumaru City - specifically at Seven Sisters High School. People who call their own cell phone number reach a mysterious person called the Joker, who will offer to kill anyone you ask him to. Revelations: Persona characters Nate and Ellen reappear as potential party members in this sequel.

I actually own the original game, and I highly recommend it. The only thing is, it is very difficult. You have to be ready to really level grind and be patient if you want to succeed. Don’t worry though - it is worth the effort.
