Marie Is Coming To ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’ As Paid DLC

Following in the footsteps of the recently announced Adachi DLC, (which will be available for free during the first week of availability), it was revealed that Marie will be the next character added to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax as paid, post launch content.

As a character who was specifically added for Persona 4 Golden, the Vita remake of the PS2 RPG that started this increased interest in the franchise, Marie brings many of the abilities to the fighting game arena that were last seen in her character specific story arc. Now with her own Persona, it’s looking like her abilities will be a mix of what Golden players would expect combined with a ton of new tools revolving around weather that she’s never before displayed. Now, if we can only get the Persona 3 protagonist in on the mix, and I’d say we have all of our bases covered!

Between the Persona 4 Golden anime, the original Golden Vita game and this upcoming DLC, it looks like a good time to be a Marie fanatic. What’s even more telling though, is that in the original Persona 4 Arena title, there was no character DLC. Now, we have two before the game is even out. And I doubt this is the end of it, either. As always, I welcome new characters, but I’m not too happy with these characters being sold separately despite them appearing to be, at least mostly, finished at this point. Oh, the woes of being a fight fan.

Marie has yet to be confirmed for a release outside of Japan, but based on how things went with Adachi, I’d fully expect a formal announcement in the coming weeks. Will you be downloading her after Ultimax launches? And who else would you like to see make it in the final roster?
