Persona 3 Reload Datamine Reveals Unannounced Expansion Pass, The Answer DLC – Rumour

Persona 3 Reload has certainly got off to an impressive start where its reviews and player numbers are concerned, but the fact that the remake only includes content from the original game, leaving out exclusive content from its FES and Portable versions, has been disappointing for some.

Recent leaks, however, have claimed that at least Persona 3 FES’ The Answer – which was an additional story chapter focused on the character Aigis that was roughly 30 hours long – will be coming to the remake as post-launch DLC, and a new datamining leak seems to be corroborating that.

As shared on Twitter by @ruinedsteg0, files found in Persona 3 Reload contain references to “Episode Aigis” and “Episode Aigis BGM Set”, suggesting that some work has been done on Persona 3 FES content for the remake.

As per the datamine leak, Persona 3 Reload will have a full Expansion Pass, entailing six DLC pieces. In addition to the two aforementioned FES DLC pieces, the rest will include new items, costumes, and music, including costumes and music from Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal.

If this is indeed the post-launch plan Atlus has in place for Persona 3 Reload, it will be a notable shift for the series, which has, in the past, traditionally chosen to add new content through entirely new and full-priced re-releases of games, rather than as downloadable additions for released titles. Recently, Atlus also confirmed that it isn’t planning on releasing a Persona 5 Royal-style expanded version of Persona 3 Reload.

Persona 3 Reload is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Leaks have claimed that Atlus also intends to bring it to Nintendo’s rumoured next-gen console.
