Game Portfolio Introduction
Persona 3 Reload is a full-fledged remake of the teen RPG Persona 3 (first released in 2006), a game that established the style and popularity of the Persona series, not only with fans of the original game. But it is also recommended for those who are just experiencing the Persona series for the first time. The game has inherited the game design from the highly popular Persona 5 and has been completely reinvented in terms of visuals, UI, and more. It has been developed to be easier and more fun to play according to the modern style of play. The version of the game released on other platforms in 2024 has a global total sale of more than 2 million copies and has received high praise from around the world.
- Game System: Live in the school by day, fight at night to save the world.
The protagonist of this game During the day, he spends his precious days as a high school student attending classes and doing club activities, etc. Everyday choices and bonds with allies awaken the power of the “Persona” heart, which ultimately becomes a force that changes destiny. At night, you’ll become a member of the secret organization “Extracurricular Special Operations”, go out to fight “Shadow”, a strange-looking entity that emerges from the darkness of the human mind in Dark Hour, a mysterious world that appears at midnight, and explore the giant tower of Tartarus in pursuit of the truth.
- New elements in combat
The turn-based command battles that are so familiar in the Persona series will be powered up again! The well-received Direct Commands and Assist function are also introduced in Persona 5, allowing for natural commands with the touch of a button.
In addition, switching turns for friends during 1MORE spawns with the Baton Pass in Persona 5 will be used in-game as “Shift”, allowing for more effective fighting.
In addition, a special skill called Theurgy has been added as a new strategy. If the Theurgy Gauge is fully collected on its turn, it can be activated and unleashed powerful skills that are different from normal skills.
- Add new music
Atsushi Kitacho of ATLUS Sound Team is responsible for the music for the game. For vocals, we had Azumi Takahashi and Lotus Juice to help sing, and the new fight song “It’s Going Down Now” by the duo has surpassed 100 million listens on Spotify and has become a global hit.
It was featured in a special P3R x P5X concert held last month at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, which delivered the unique impression and worldview of the Persona series to many visitors. We have released a video recording of Day 2 with Azumi Takahashi and Lotus Juice performing on stage. Those who didn’t attend the venue can enjoy the special performance held exclusively at TGS2025, as well as a video commentary of the two singers sharing their impressions of participating in TGS2025 and the popularity of It’s Going Down Now. Please watch it at the same time.
