A brand-new trailer for Persona 3 Reload has just been shared by Atlus, and the company has finally revealed February 2, 2024, as the official release date of the RPG's upcoming remake. The trailer also shared important highlights of the game, including specific characters in Persona 3 and pre-order bonuses, giving players more incentive to check out the RPG when it launches.
It has only been a couple of months since Atlus officially revealed that it was remaking the role-playing game. However, the Persona fan base seems to have already been expecting the announcement, given how abundant leaks and rumors are within the community. And even though the Japanese company had only released the port of Persona 3 Portable from the Sony PSP to other platforms in January 2023, fans will probably be elated that their call for a modernized remake of the RPG was heard and taken to heart by Atlus.
In a recently uploaded Persona 3 Reload trailer, Atlus announced that the remake's official launch date is on February 2, 2024. The trailer also included new footage of the RPG's gameplay, highlighting the main character's interactions and cutscenes with other Persona 3 NPCs such as Ken Amada, Koromaru, Aigis, and Shinjiro Aragaki. Snippets of the battle system and dungeon crawling were also showcased in the trailer's footage, and at the end, Atlus shared information about bonuses and limited editions that will probably interest many of the franchise's fans.
Both the official Japanese and English websites of the video game were also updated to reflect the different editions that are up for grabs. Japan is getting an exclusive Persona 3 Reload Limited Box which comes with a S.E.E.S. arm band, costume DLC, artbook, and OST, and can come bundled with an Aigis figure. This costs 17,380 yen or $120 USD without the figure, or 22,880 yen, which is roughly $160 USD, with the Aigis statue. An "Aigis Edition" has also been listed on the English site with almost the exact same bonuses, minus the exclusive S.E.E.S. arm band. Major retailers have already posted the price for the English version of the Aigis Edition, which is $199.99, but there is currently no listing for a limited edition box that does not come with the figure on the English site.
For those looking to get digital versions of the game, bonuses include a mix of the OST, artbook, and Persona 3 Reload costume DLC. Standard editions that only include the base game are also available for pre-order. Given that the release date of Persona 3 Reload is still a few months away, players have time to deliberate about which edition they are willing to shell out for.
Persona 3 Reload is releasing on February 2, 2024, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
