Jan 23, 2024 9:30 AM

Exciting news for RPG fans: Atlus is reportedly set to release "Persona 3 Reload" and a brand new title "Metaphor: ReFantazio" for the upcoming Nintendo Switch successor. Renowned Atlus-insider 'みどり' has provided this information, boasting a track record of accurate leaks which include precise details about "Persona 3 Reload," its announcement, and features of "Persona 5 Tactica." Set to launch on other major platforms like PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on February 2, 2024, "Persona 3 Reload" will debut as a remake of the classic Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. The game immerses players in the life of a student by day and an investigator battling Shadows in the Dark Hour by night. "Metaphor: ReFantazio," crafted by the Persona series' Studio Zero, promises an RPG experience set in a European medieval fantasy world, boasting talents like director Katsura Hashino, composer Shoji Meguro, and character designer Shigenori Soejima. Both games are highly anticipated and mark new milestones for Atlus and RPG gaming on next-gen consoles.

Will "Persona 3 Reload" be available on current gaming platforms or just the new Switch?

"Persona 3 Reload" will indeed be available on current gaming platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. Additionally, it will be immediately accessible through Xbox Game Pass upon release.

"Persona 3 Reload" is a modern take on the original "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3," which was first released on the PlayStation 2. The game is known for its innovative mix of social simulation and dungeon-crawling gameplay. The Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES) is a key component in the game, through which players tackle the mysterious Dark Hour and explore the Tartarus tower. Fans of the series are eager to see how the remake will update the beloved RPG. On the other hand, "Metaphor: ReFantazio" is set to introduce players to an all-new world, marrying Atlus's expertise in RPG development with a unique, historically-inspired setting.
