More than 17 years after its original release, the game that transformed the JRPG genre and would set the stage for the future of a role-playing juggernaut is back, as Persona 3 Reload arrives on February 2. Whether you're a returning fan, or making your first visit to the world of Persona 3, this complete remake breathes new life into a modern classic.
Known for both its style and its incredible storytelling, Persona 3 set the tone for what the series would become, introducing the Social Links that would build relationships between characters, overhauling the series' battle system, and weaving an intricate narrative through its entire iconic cast. With Persona 3 Reload, Atlus has made sure to maintain the soul of the game through this faithful remake, but is updating it for a modern audience.
That means new, cutting-edge graphics, quality-of-life features designed to smoothen out the gameplay experience, and a stylish UI. The game's story will also be brought to life in even more detail, with new scenes and character interactions, and even additional voiceover. As you forge bonds with the characters around you, you'll have to make choices about how to meaningfully spend each day, building and leading your perfect team to take down the mysterious Shadows and discover the truth of the Shadows and the Dark Hour.
Persona 3 has left its mark on a generation of JRPGs, and its remake offers the chance to experience this pivotal example of the genre from a new perspective, never losing track of what made it so special in the first place. Modern graphics and new voiceover bring its iconic cast to life in even more detail than before, and quality of life changes bring the game further in line with the modern games that were inspired by it. A new intro song even puts the game's impeccable sense of style front and centre.
Both the perfect excuse to revisit a classic and the perfect way to experience it for the first time, Persona 3 Reload releases on February 2, and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass. And whether you're a returning fan, a Persona convert coming to its iconic entry for the first time, or are diving into the series for the first time, you can get even more from the game with the Persona 3 Reload Digital Premium Edition, featuring the base game, as well as a digital artbook and soundtrack, and the Persona 3 Reload DLC pack, which includes all of the game's purchasable additional content.
