Fans were overjoyed to learn that Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable would finally be available on the Nintendo Switch. On the other hand, fans of the third game in the series were upset to learn that the portable version had been chosen for a rerelease rather than the cherished Persona 3 FES.
People started speculating about a possible Persona 3 remake that would incorporate all of the elements that were missing from the portable version and redesign the game for contemporary hardware. Persona 3 Reload will be the name of the next remake, which Atlus has now officially confirmed. Here is everything we currently know about the game.

Only a few months have passed since Atlus made its public announcement that it was redesigning the role-playing game. However, given how many leaks and rumors there are in the community, the Persona fan base appears to have been anticipating the announcement all along. Fans will likely be overjoyed that Atlus heeded their desire for a modernized version of the role-playing game, even if the Japanese company only released Persona 3 Portable’s port from the Sony PSP to other platforms in January 2023.
The gameplay of the RPG was also shown in the video, with emphasis on the protagonist’s interactions and cutscenes with other Persona 3 NPCs such Ken Amada, Koromaru, Aigis, and Shinjiro Aragaki. The trailer included footage of the battle system and dungeon crawling as well. Atlus also included details regarding bonuses and limited editions, which are likely to be of interest to many fans of the game.
The video game’s official websites in both Japanese and English have been modified to reflect the many editions that are available for purchase. An exclusive Persona 3 Reload Limited Box is coming to Japan, and it includes a S.E.E.S. armband, outfit DLC, artbook, and OST, as well as the possibility of an Aigis figurine. This costs 17,380 yen ($120 USD) without the figurine and 22,880 yen ($160 USD) when the Aigis statue is included.
The English website also lists a “Aigis Edition” that lacks the special S.E.E.S. arm band but otherwise has nearly identical features. The cost of the Aigis Edition in English has not yet been disclosed by Atlus, and the English website does not currently have a listing for a limited edition box that does not include the figure.
Bonuses for those purchasing the game digitally include a combination of the OST, artbook, and Persona 3 Reload outfit DLC. There are other basic standard editions that can be pre-ordered. Persona 3 Reload won’t be released for a few more months, so gamers have time to think carefully about which version they want to spend money on.
Persona 3 Reload Gameplay
The primary gameplay loop of the Persona 3 remake will continue to feature the series’ signature blend of dungeon crawler and life simulation elements. High school coursework and advancing through Tartarus, a dangerous tower filled with Shadows that must be vanquished in order to advance, must be balanced out by players.
Games that will shortly be released are also discussed in the posts below:

Up to four party members can participate in combat in turn-based encounters, and you’ll need to use a variety of skills—including the special abilities of each character’s Persona—to take advantage of the enemy’s weaknesses.
You will have the ability to strengthen your relationships with your party members and significant NPCs outside of school and Tartarus, which will be advantageous in combat. You can also occupy your free time in Iwatodai by doing a variety of things including shopping, studying after school, or playing video games in the neighborhood arcade.
