Not content with winning in his own game, Persona 5’s Joker goes back in time to once again take on the protagonist’s Persona 3 Reload, continuing the Challenge Battle rivalry between the main characters of the previous three Persona games.
A new trailer for the upcoming Persona 3 Reload DLC, Episode Aigis -The Answer-, was released during gamescom’s Opening Night Live 2024 featuring the much-loved Phantom Thief and a very familiar theme song from Persona 5 Royal.
Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass — A Familiar Foe Trailer
Much like Makoto appearing in Persona 5 Royal through the Challenge Battle game mode, Joker will be making his appearance in Persona 3 Reload in much the same way – likely to try and keep his crown after beating the S.E.E.S. Boy and Yu Narukami in his own game.
Episode Aigis was previously added to the main game back when Persona 3 FES launched 16 years ago, serving as an epilogue to the story. Those who have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate already get the Expansion Pass for free, and those who need to purchase it separately can do so for $34.99. Here’s how ATLUS describes the DLC:
After unraveling the mysteries of the Dark Hour, fighting epic battles through Tartarus, and all the unforgettable events of Persona 3 Reload, the S.E.E.S. members find themselves trapped in a never-ending March 31st. Journey through the Abyss of Time as Aigis, undertake new challenges, and uncover the cause of this strange fate and the truth of what happened on that day…
Persona 3 Reload originally launched on February 2, 2024, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Windows and Steam. Episode Aigis -The Answer- launches on September 10.
