LOS ANGELES – December 12, 2023 – iam8bit is proud to announce their latest collaboration with RPG titan ATLUS with the introduction of two new vinyl soundtracks for the beloved Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden games. Both soundtracks feature the most memorable tracks from each game, serving as the perfect companions to iam8bit's ever-growing exclusive collection of Persona vinyl.
Both soundtracks are available for pre-order on December 14 on iam8bit.com and are priced at $31.99 each. iam8bit enlisted the artistic talents of their friend Drew Wise, whose work has been featured in the company's other Persona soundtracks and collections. The result is a pair of vinyl LPs that are striking pieces of art on their own while also matching the visual consistency of those earlier soundtracks.
Here's what's included in each vinyl soundtrack:
Persona 3 Portable Vinyl Soundtrack ($31.99)
Persona 3 Portable (P3P) is more than just a handheld adaptation of ATLUS' renowned roleplaying game. It includes an entire second story mode, introducing fans to a female protagonist who brought with her new Social Links, story tweaks, and, of course, new music.
The Persona 3 Portable Vinyl Soundtrack represents the very best of that new P3P music, all carefully selected by the ATLUS Sound Team themselves. From the fresh opening theme "Soul Phrase" to the enthralling battle tune "Wiping All Out," this LP is your chance to experience the music of P3P like never before.

Persona 4 Golden Vinyl Soundtrack ($31.99)
Persona 4 Golden (P4G) features a ton of upgrades and enhancements to the 4th entry in ATLUS’ flagship RPG series — including new characters, Social Links, a new dungeon, and more — but the most remarkable thing about this enhanced rerelease is its unique and unmatched sense of style. P4G is truly golden, more than living up to its moniker with an aesthetic that shines oh-so-brightly.
This release, then, is iam8bit’s humble attempt to capture some of that glittery magic in vinyl form. This is the Persona 4 Golden Vinyl Soundtrack, an LP packed with ATLUS Sound Team’s hand-selected favorite tracks from P4G.
