We received a very prescient Press Release today from the folks over at UDON. After the success of their Street Fighter pins at San Diego Comic Con last week, they have announced the next game that they will be making tribute pins for. As you can see above, that game is none other than the iconic Persona 4. That news is prescient both because of the upcoming release of Persona 5, next Valentines Day, but also because I am personally going back through that game in excited preparation for the next title. Needless to say, UDON has my attention, and here is the Press Release.
