According to a leaker, one of the Persona 25th anniversary projects is a remaster of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
The information comes from Zippo, a leaker who has previously leaked Metroid Dread being at Nintendo's E3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles being a part of Sonic Origins.

On Zippo's blog, they said, "With Atlus' recent announcement that Persona is getting some sort of shindig for its 25th anniversary in September, people are obviously wondering what the announcements will actually be. I can tell you one, today. Arc System Works' Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is getting a remaster, and is coming to modern platforms. I haven't been told whether or not it will feature new content, but I would personally be very surprised if it doesn't. A release is expected next year."
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax getting a remaster isn't too far-fetched, especially as Atlus has already announced that several games will be released as part of the 25th anniversary of Persona. It's possible that each game in the series so far will have some sort of celebration, and porting Arena Ultimax over to modern consoles would be a good way to celebrate Persona 4, if not a port of the original game.
It's somewhat ironic that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax would be coming to consoles before a port of Persona 4 Golden, but this is the same company who decided to release Persona 5 Strikers on Switch without Persona 5 even being on the system. A port of a fighting game is likely to take less effort and time though, especially considering Arena Ultimax was on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
It's worth noting that, although Zippo has been right about a few things like the contents of Sonic Origins and Metroid Dread being at Nintendo's E3, like any leaker they've not been right about every prediction that they've made. Zippo is currently banned from ResetEra because of some of these leaks, although they seem to get a lot right about Sega products, so it might be worth taking this with a grain of salt.
