After months of rumours and speculation, it’s finally been confirmed thatPersona 3 Reloadwill receive The Answer content from Persona 3 FES in September as part of a newly-revealed expansion pass.
As excited as Persona fans were about Persona 3 Reload,there was a lot of disappointment about it not adapting content from Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 FES, instead sticking to content that was in the original release. For a while now,it’s been rumoured that The Answer would eventually come to Persona 3 Reload as DLC, something that has finally just been confirmed.
Xbox just held its first Partner Preview showcase of 2024and one of the big announcements of the stream was that Persona 3 Reload is getting an expansion pack that contains two music packs, some new costumes, and, most importantly, The Answer DLC. Titled Episode Aigis - The Answer, the expansion adapts what was found in Persona 3 FES' The Answer epilogue and will be released in September of this year.
The brief trailer for the expansion pack showed that players will once again be able to take control of Aigis as she and the rest of the S.E.E.S. members try to escape from a neverending March 31 after the events of the main game. To do so, the party will have to travel through the Abyss of Time and find their way out, something that will be familiar to anyone who played Persona 3 FES.
Over on Xbox Wire, Persona 3 Reload’s general producer, Kazuhisa Wada, revealed more details about the expansion and noted that the game wouldn’t be complete without Episode Aigis - The Answer, which will be Persona 3 Reload’s third and final piece of DLC. That sadly also confirms that Persona 3 Portable’s beloved female protagonist won’t be joining the game.
“Persona 3 Reload would not be complete without Episode Aigis –The Answer-. The epilogue is sure to satisfy both those who have played the original Persona 3 FES and those who are just starting out. The Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass will be available on March 12th. Episode Aigis -The Answer-, the third and final DLC wave, will be available in September."
That’s not the only thing that’s coming to Persona 3 Reload as part of the expansion pack, however. The first two pieces of DLC will contain music tracks from Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, as well as a set of Velvet-Room-themed outfits for the whole party to wear. Those first two packs will release in May and March respectively.
