2022 re-release

On March 17, 2022, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was re-released on PC, Nintendo Switch and PS4 worldwide, and later received rollback netcode on August 5th of the same year. The 2022 re-release is based off of the 2.0 arcade version of the game, which was originally only released in Japan. The patch features many balance changes, both to the game's core mechanics and characters' individual move sets.^[1] Most notably, the 2.0 arcade version overhauls how "Shadow Type" characters function, as they now:

Can use Burst.
Can use Shadow Frenzy even at less than 100 SP.
- Additionally, opponents can no longer use Defensive Burst during Shadow Frenzy.
No longer carry over SP between rounds.

In addition, the 2022 re-release also includes all the game's previously released DLC at no additional charge. This includes the additional characters Marie, Margaret and Tohru Adachi, alternate color palettes and accessories for the playable characters, additional Navigator voices, and the story mode from the original Persona 4 Arena game.
