A Frustrating Revelation: Persona 3 Reload Won’t Get a Revamp
Hey there, fellow gamers! I’ve got some news that might disappoint you, especially if you’re a fan of the Persona series. It seems that Atlus, the developer behind Persona 3 Reload, has no plans to release a Royal or Golden-type version of the game. I know, it’s a bummer!
A Remake That Falls Short
Persona 3 Reload has finally arrived, and according to our very own Alex, it’s a fantastic game! But here’s the catch: it’s essentially just a remake of the original Persona 3. Now, for those of you who may not know, there were two other re-releases of Persona 3 after the original. Persona 3 FES came out on the PS2, followed by Persona 3 Portable on the PSP, which even featured a female main character option.
Unfortunately, none of the additional content from those re-releases made it into Persona 3 Reload. This has left some fans speculating that Reload might eventually get a re-release itself, just like Persona 4 and Persona 5.
A Definitive Statement
However, in a recent interview with Persona Team production manager Kazuhisa Wada, he made it clear that this won’t be the case. According to Wada, they are not considering a revision like the one for Persona 5, which resulted in Persona 5 Royal with significant changes and additions.
Wada reassured fans that Persona 3 Reload offers a complete experience. They put a lot of effort into making it accessible to fans worldwide, including Southeast Asia. So, despite the lack of extras, they hope that gamers around the globe can enjoy Persona 3 Reload to the fullest.
Now, Wada did mention that the budget for the remake was much higher than the original game, which was surprising to him. This could mean that a re-release might be too costly. However, he did use the word “currently,” so there’s still a glimmer of hope that things might change if Reload proves successful enough.
Keep Yourself Busy in the Meantime
While we wait to see what the future holds for Persona 3 Reload, let’s focus on the game we have in front of us. Persona 3 Reload is already a lengthy experience, so I’m sure you can keep yourself busy and thoroughly enjoy it, even if another version never materializes.
So, fellow gamers, dive into Persona 3 Reload and immerse yourself in its world. Experience the challenges and triumphs it has to offer. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll get that revamp we’ve been hoping for!
