Well now, this is interesting. With a brand new version of Persona 4 The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold being developed for arcades and home console ports on the way, many have speculated that the fighter could be updated with brand new playable characters. So far, there has been very little to corroborate this outside of quick teases, but today we may have just received something a bit more tangible.

According to Best Buy’s description for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, as the title will be known outside of Japan, Persona 3’s youngster Ken Amada and Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4 will be joining the playable cast alongside Yukari Takeba, Junpei Iori, and the two separate versions of newcomer Sho Minazuki.

While it appears legitimate, this could very well be a mistake, so please take this bit of news with a grain of salt. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more details become available but, for now, feel free to let us know how you think these two could possibly fit into the existing Persona 4 Arena lineup in the comments below.

UPDATE – It was also brought to our attention that the Best Buy listing mentions a September 16 release date for Ultimax, which matches up with the fall window previously announced by Arc System Works. Still, as official word has yet to be made public, take this detail with some hesitation as well.
