Persona 4 Revival, the highly anticipated remake of Atlus's beloved JRPG, is set to expand on the original game's roster in a meaningful way by introducing Aika, a fan-favorite character from the Persona 4 anime adaptation, as a fully playable Social Link. Aika, best known for her recurring gag of delivering udon in increasingly bizarre circumstances throughout the anime series, has long been a beloved figure among fans of the franchise. Her inclusion as a Social Link suggests the remake is going well beyond a simple visual upgrade, weaving in content from other corners of the Persona 4 universe.
