Last month Persona 4 Golden’s European publisher NIS America announced that the game would be available during spring 2013 – some months after its November 20th US release date.

Now NIS America has brought forward the game’s European launch to February 22nd, which just so happens to be the PS Vita’s one-year anniversary! According to the publisher this date is “tentative” so it could still change in the coming months.

Persona 4 Golden features a number of new elements that enhance the already excellent story and gameplay of the PS2 original. These include new cut-scenes, a new social link, additional side-activities and being able to explore the town of Inaba at night.
