Back in 2008, Persona 4 came to PlayStation 2. An extremely late release on Sony's last-generation console, Persona 4 was still enjoyed by a legion of hardcore fans. And now, according to Japanese blog Sinobi (and translated by our Japanese correspondent), Persona 4 will be coming to PlayStation Vita in 2012, per a report in the latest issue of Famitsu.

The game is set to be called Persona 4: The Golden. And it will have plenty of updates and additions. There will be a new character named Mary, new animated movies, a new animated game intro, and "1.5 times the amount of voice acting" found in the original Persona 4. Additionally, this updated version of Persona 4 will use Vita's wireless functionality in unique ways, including a "rescue request system" where another gamer can come into your game to help you out.

Persona 4: The Golden is currently only confirmed for a Japanese release, though we'll update if word of an American or European release breaks.
