Atlus announced that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is coming to PS4, Switch, and Steam on March 17.
The announcement came as the last major reveal of The Game Awards 2021 pre-show. The port appears to be a direct translation of the original game, with no additional bonuses at the moment. It’s unclear if more content will be coming to the game, but if Persona 4 Golden is something to go through, it likely won’t introduce any new content.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is currently available to pre-order on Steam for $ 29.99, although the release date is currently listed as March 2022. The description reads: “Ultimax Version: Includes all previously released Persona 4 Arena Ultimax content, including the Original Persona Character Arena Story 4. An in-depth roster of playable characters – Fan-favorite versions of Persona 3 and “Shadow” offer a variety of fighting styles to choose from. Dual Audio: Choose between Japanese and English VO. Steam Achievements and Trading Cards ”.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the first big announcement of Persona’s 25th anniversary. So far, we’ve just seen some new anime-related products and projects, but more ports seem likely to come.
Interestingly, a port of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was rumored in July. The information came from Zippo, a leaker who had previously leaked that Metroid Dread was at Nintendo’s E3 and that Sonic 3 & Knuckles was part of Sonic Origins.
