Persona 2: Innocent Sin coming to the PSP

Atlas has announced that they plan on releasing an enhanced port of Persona 2: Innocent Sin to the PSP in Japan in early 2011. For fans unfamiliar with the title, Innocent Sin was one part of a dual sequel that took place in the same world as Persona 2:Eternal Punishment that was released in June of 1999. Gamers in North America might be unfamiliar with the title because it was only released in Japan. However, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment was released in North America in November of 2000.

Although Eternal Punishment picks up a few months after Innocent Sin, it takes place in a parallel world where the events of Innocent Sin did not occur. All the same characters are the in the game, however they do not know one another.

It wasn't stated whether or not Innocent Sin would make it overseas, but based on the recent release of Persona 3: Portable fans shouldn't lose hope that an enhanced port will eventually make its way to North America. P3P garnered such rave reviews, a Metacritic score of 91, that it seems unlikely Atlas will pass up the opportunity to bring the game outside of Japan.

Stay tuned until more updates are available. Until then check out the opening cinema to Innocent Sin.
