Sega and Atlus have debuted a new trailer for their upcoming re-release of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. This latest footage gives us a glimpse at how the characters and fighting gameplay have been updated for new platforms, ahead of its March 17, 2022, release date. Originally hitting Japanese arcades in 2013, it would later arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360. Developed by Arc System Works, the team behind countless fighting games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, Blazblue, and Granblue Fantasy Versus, the Persona spin-off is now heading to Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC (via Steam).

Persona 5 Royal then followed, introducing new content and some interesting gameplay reviews. Fans are keen to see what Atlus has planned for Persona. In the meantime, there’s been a renewed effort to revitalise older games in the series, including the superb Persona 4 Golden which recently released on PC. With some of those earlier games hard to source in 2022, is there a chance we’ll see Atlus create a compilation?
