Persona 3 Reload Overview
Persona 3 Reload is the remake of a JRPG classic that really needed it. We play a young high school student who returns to his hometown, ten years after the car accident which cost the lives of his parents. But he quickly realizes a strange phenomenon at night which transforms the high school into a giant tower from which monsters emerge. With his new friends, he will therefore carry out the investigation while managing his daily life between classes, odd jobs and time spent with his friends.
When and where is Persona 3 Reload released?
Persona 3 Reload releases February 2, 2024 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC (Steam). And it's directly integrated into Game Pass.
What version of the game is Persona 3 Reload a remake of?
The question may seem surprising but Persona 3 Reload is actually the fourth version of the game and all of them have their own particularities. Atlus preferred to keep it simple and only take the content from the very first version of the game, adding certain comfort modifications that appeared in other iterations or sequels.
Does Persona 3 Reload change the plot of the game?
No, Persona 3 Reload does not come to change the events of Persona 3. Each iteration has had fun making modifications going so far as to change the ending but here, we return to the original story.

Can you play a female protagonist in Persona 3 Reload?
No Unfortunately, Persona 3 Reload no longer allows you to choose the gender of your character as was the case in the version Portable and which brought a lot of variations in the dialogues and especially the Social Links.
What's new in Persona 3 Reload?
Persona 3 Reload is quite stingy when it comes to new features apart from anything relating to gaming comfort and consistency with the sequels. On the gameplay side, the changes are especially noticeable in the exploration of the Tartar Tower, the floors of which will remain random but with more little surprises to break the monotony, in addition to the possibility of running.
And in daily management, new scenes have been added with the members of your team in order to compensate for the absence of Social Links with some of them, in order to be able to develop the characters without having to review the whole thing.
Are there new Social Links in Persona 3 Reload?
Persona 3 Reload proves to be quite frustrating in its management of Social Links since if there was a lot to review in this area, Atlus decided to stick to those of the base game while still adding a new one for Aigis with the Aeon arcana.
When is Persona 3 Reload happening?
Persona 3 Reload has not yet revealed this point but it should be similar to the original game which took place in 2009. For information, Persona 4 takes place in 2011 and if Persona 5 remains vague on this point several pieces of evidence show that it is set in 2016.
Do you need to have done other episodes to play Persona 3 Reload?
If the games Persona take place in the same universe, the plot of each episode is sufficiently separate from the others that we can start with that one without the slightest problem. This is all the more true for this episode which is the beginning of the triptych but this would not be the first time that Atlus would take advantage of a new version to slip in some easter eggs from the sequels.
Is Persona 3 Reload translated into French?
Persona 3 Reload is well translated into French, at least for its texts, whether in the interface, menus, dialogues and subtitles.
Can you move freely in Persona 3 Reload?
Here too, the question may seem strange if we do not know the version Portable and its remaster. Yes, in Persona 3 Reload, we control our character well in the corridors of the high school and on the streets of the city. To save space on PSP at the time, travel outside of Tartarus had been replaced by menus which is no longer the case here.
What languages are the Persona 3 Reload dubs in?
Persona 3 Reload has Japanese and English dubs. You should know that the Japanese actors re-recorded all of the dialogues (adding those of social links), while the English cast was entirely replaced.
Are the music in Persona 3 Reload different from the base game?
Yes, Persona 3 Reload is also an opportunity to offer new music but it doesn't stop there since old ones are also entitled to new versions. And it is the singer Azumi Takahashi who replaces Yumi Kawamura.
