Developed by Atlus and Arc System Works, the fighting video game Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2014. The planned port for other systems, i.e., Windows, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4, was announced back in December at The Game Awards 2021, and the release date is almost here.
