The trailer shows Gallagher slowly walking through several scenes from Persona 3 Reload before eventually breaking into a run. “Time is something no one can escape,” Gallagher narrates. “No matter which path you choose, it delivers all to the same end. Time is limited. Soon, the end will come. It’s all up to you now. The world does not need a script that is already written. The time has come to wield your power, accept your destiny, and seal your fate.”
The trailer concludes with a montage of Persona 3 Reload gameplay.
Persona 3 Reload is a remake of the 2007 game. Despite the name, it is actually the fourth mainline Persona game and part of the sprawling Megami Tensei franchise. The game stars a high-school student who returns to his home city ten years after his parents died in a car accident. After gaining the ability to summon a manifestation of his inner spirit called a Persona, he joins a group of fellow Persona users called the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad or SEES. Together, they must save Tatsumi Port Island from dangerous Shadows and unravel the mystery of The Dark Hour.
Fans have wanted a Persona 3 remake for some time, with Atlus finally announcing Reload last year. The new game includes features introduced later in the series, such as several quality-of-life improvements from 2016’s Persona 5. The remake will launch for PC PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2.
