Atlus of Japan has pulled the veil off a number of new and not-so-new characters set for inclusion in their upcoming, much-anticipated RPG, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. The most notable addition is that of Kandori Takahise -- otherwise known as Guido in the U.S.'s Revelations: Persona. Believed to have perished in the first game, the now-shaded Guido appears to be back from the dead and is reportedly taking on the role of an pseudo-antagonist once again. Other familiar faces include assistant principal Dean Harding (center-right), butterfly Philemon (center), and a new look for Joker's Persona form.

   New characters include Anna, Noriko, and Shimazu. The final character revealed is somewhat of a mystery -- known only by the name Chasoon, this character's visage has been pixellated into obscurity. His identity will likely be revealed closer to the game's June 29th release date in Japan. Look for the North American release sometime in November.
