The Empress Descends! Margaret Confirmed For ‘Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’

With nearly every important character from Persona 3 and Persona 4 included in the upcoming fighter, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it was only a matter of time before The Empress made her appearance. Starting the week after release, Margret, the Velvet Room Attendant from P4 will make her fighting game debut as downloadable content.

While every other character in the game is limited to one Persona, Margaret will command multiple ones, including Cu Chulanin, Yoshitsune and Ardha on top of eight Persona Cards. To say that she has the deck stacked against her opponents would be an understatement, (pun kind-of intended), and anyone who faced off against her in the core RPG series knows how dangerous she is. How will this play out in a fighting game arena? And what will happen when she comes face to face with her sister, Elizabeth, who abandoned the position that Margaret currently holds? We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out.

Unlike the previously announced characters, Adachi and Marie, Margaret WILL NOT be free at any point, but will be available for purchase after the free period for the first two downloadable characters passes. The price point hasn’t been revealed yet, but if it’s anything like Arc System Works’ previous fighters, there’s a good chance it can get pricey. Plus, I’m sure the DLC announcements aren’t done yet, since there’s still one major character who’s missing from the fight. Any guesses?

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will arrive on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 30th.
