Persona 3 Reload is a reimagined version that aims to capture and expand on the original Persona 3 experience, with improvements to gameplay, story and characterization. The protagonist enters Gekkoukan High School, where he quickly encounters the Dark Hour and Tartaros. He then joins SEES, a group seeking to solve supernatural mysteries using Persona powers.
This version introduces many of the systems found in modern core Persona titles, such as social connections and the calendar. It maintains the same general gameplay loop: social activities during the day and shadow fighting at night. Players can combine Personas for the main character, as only he is able to use several.
Persona 3 Reload is the fourth version of Persona 3. The original version was released for the PlayStation 2, followed by FES, which included improvements to gameplay elements and an additional Answer epilogue. After this, Portable appeared on PSP, where the Answer epilogue was excluded, but the ability to choose a female protagonist was added.
Persona 3 Reload доступна для PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows и Steam.
