Persona 3 Reloadgives the classic 2006 RPG the remake treatment, hopefully making it seem as effortlessly stylish as the fantasticPersona 5 Royal. Developer Atlus dropped another gorgeous trailer that gives us a wee peek at its new anime cutscenes, fan favourite cast, and… wait a second. There aren’t any cool menus in this trailer andmy day is ruined. But the trailer also confirms that the game is due to launch on February 2nd, 2024, so we can gawk at the level-up screens soon.

Persona 3 Reload tells the same story as the original, but there are a number of notable changes between Reload and past versions, aside from the obvious visual touch-ups. Reload is replacing the English voice cast from the original PS2 release and is disappointingly leaving out the playable female protagonist, Kotone Shiomi, who was introduced in the PSP edition.

That’s a pretty blatant omission since Shiomi is still fresh in the fandom’s shared consciousness (imagine her face plastered across the Metaverse), sincePersona 3 Portablewas ported to PC earlier this year. Our Ed checked out that edition andwas delightedthat it didn’t feel as outdated as you imagine a 14-year-old RPG might: “Not only does it stand on its own as a fun high school mystery with an alarmingly dark undertone, it almost acts as a fun history lesson too,” he said. So you can always just play that one instead.
Otherwise, Persona 3 Reload comes out on February 2nd on PC (viaSteam), Xboxes, PlayStations and Game Pass. That’s not too long afterPersona 5 Tactica, the series’ XCOM-style spin-off, comes out on November 17th.
