Persona 3 Reload’s The Answer expansion gets a release date

Wave 3 of Persona 3 Reload‘s expansion pass, Episode Aigis: The Answer, has received a release date reveal trailer. This section of the game will include more than 30 hours of new content and a new dungeon for players to explore as they navigate through an epilogue to the climactic main story.

Fans are excited to see this part of the game be reworked, as it quickly became one of the most controversial aspects of the original Persona 3 release. Many players have criticized the pacing of the story, as well as the overall difficulty spike of the original version of The Answer included with Persona 3 FES.

While The Answer was a controversial release, that didn’t stop hungry fans from asking about it when Persona 3 Reload was first announced. Many assumed that the DLC would be missing from Reload until a surprise announcement confirmed it would be coming.

Although gamers have come to disagree about the way that Persona 3 Reload changes up gameplay in its own ways with the inclusion of Theurgy attacks and changes to each character’s toolkit, the overall outlook from the fandom is optimism at a chance to see this story executed in a way that feels more natural.

Additional excitement stems from the fact that a Reload recomposition of the FES version of Mass Destruction can be heard in this trailer. The trailer also shows off some dungeon exploration, Aigis’ new all-out-attack screen, and a sliver of information about Metis, a focal character in this expansion.

Although some players are still holding out hope to see the female protagonist from Persona 3 Portable be included as a DLC somewhere down the road, most of the fandom is just happy to see The Answer be included in Persona 3 Reload, since it was pitched to gamers as a faithful remake.

Episode Aigis is the third and final wave of DLC for Persona 3 Reload and will be released on September 10, 2024. Interested players can purchase it via their respective stores. Additionally, Xbox Game Pass members have the opportunity to claim Episode Aigis as a Perk through January 31, 2025.
