Aika Nakamura Joins Persona 4 Revival’s Location Episodes

Atlus announced Sunday during its “Persona 4 Revival Broadcast” livestream that Aika Nakamura will join Persona 4 Revival as a new Location Episode character. The game remakes the company’s original 2008 role-playing game.

The broadcast also offered a preview of Location Episodes and a new song by Shiori Sasaki, “A Sky Full of Stars -Revival-.”

Aika delivers food for Aiya, her parents’ Chinese restaurant, and has been friends with Hanako Ohtani since childhood. She first appeared in the anime Persona 4 The Animation and Persona 4 the Golden Animation.

The remake’s release schedule includes:

Persona 4 Revival will introduce a new English voice cast. Animation studio MAPPA is producing every animated cutscene in the game.

Persona 4 originally arrived on PlayStation 2 in 2008. A PlayStation Vita port followed in 2011 as Persona 4 Golden.

The franchise also spawned several spin-off games:

• Persona 4 Arena
• Its sequel, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
• Persona 4: Dancing All Night

Persona 4 the Golden Animation began airing in July 2014, with Aniplex USA handling North American distribution.

Atlus’ Persona 3 RPG also received a remake, Persona 3 Reload, which launched in February 2024 on these platforms:

• PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4
• Xbox X|S and Xbox One
