In a recent interview with Famitsu, the producer and creative director of Persona Team, Kazuhisa Wada told the story of the project to get the acclaimed title back into the fight-game scene. According to the development of Persona 4 Goldens 2020, the game will have a better reputation. While the new release is likely to feature a new round of balance checks and bug fixes, adding the much-celebrated rollback netcode technology is not at the top of the priority list, it is only going to be considered for implementation down the line. Wada says the release should be considered the definitive version of Persona 4 Arena. As a highly competitive, but fantastically feature-packed fighter, the return of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax to modern gaming platforms will certainly be celebrated by both Persona and combat fans alike. Since the recent implementation of rollback netcodes in 2D anime, such as Guilty Gear Strive, DNF Duel, The King of Fighters XV, and even The King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, it’s not much better to see Atlus not join the party immediately. The idea of rollback possibility that be added to the list makes a question if Atlus is trying to see whether the rerelease progresses or not before looking into network options. If so, that’s an odd decision, because successful netcode at launch will facilitate a community and a competitive environment, and thus lead to better sales in the long run. The Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is going to be in the US on March 17 on PS4, PC, and Switch. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Remastered Interview is discussing their origins in the project [Persona Central].
