Original Story

The rumors of a Persona 3 Remake – and that out-of-bounds dev space in Persona 5 – were true, and Atlus officially unveiled the RPG at the Xbox Games Showcase. Persona 3 Remake is officially called Persona 3 Reload and will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in early 2024.

The announcement comes after Atlus accidentally uploaded a trailer for the game on its Instagram account, alongside one for Persona 5 Tactica.

The Persona 3 remake trailer highlights the game’s substantial visual overhaul, though what new features or narrative elements Atlus has in store remains to be seen. Persona 3 remake uses a style similar to what Atlus used in the Persona 3 and Persona 5 dancing games, with full 3D models, slick anime style, and some welcome enhancements to Iwatodai and Tartarus, the latter of which looks properly creepy and atmospheric now. 

While it’s unclear whether the female protagonist from Persona 3 Portable or the additional epilogue from Persona 3 FES are included, you can, at least, control all your party members manually if you want. No more Marin Karin disasters from Mitsuru.

There’s also no word yet on whether Atlus has recorded a new English voice track.  Vic Mignogna, the original voice of Junpei Iori, was accused of sexual assault and harassment, while Aigis’ voice actor Karen Strassman vocally espoused anti-vaccination and racist views during the Covid-19 lockdowns and Black Lives Matter protests.

Atlus also announced Persona 5 Tactica, a tactics spinoff featuring the Phantom Thieves in literally revolutionary settings.
