Persona 3 Reload's Much-Anticipated DLC “The Answer” Set for Release
With a backdrop of the ocean, a new chapter unfolds in Persona 3 Reload. A remake of the original game released earlier this year, it has been confirmed that the highly requested DLC “The Answer” is on its way. This announcement was made as part of today’s Xbox Partner Preview, revealing that the DLC, dubbed “Episode Aigis,” will drop in September as part of Persona 3 Reload’s expansion pass.

The Evolution of Persona 3
Persona 3 has seen many transformations since its initial release in 2006 for the PS2. This includes a PSP port called Persona 3 Portable that introduced a female main character and transformed much of the game’s overworld into static screens reminiscent of a visual novel. An expansion known as “The Answer,” or “Episode Aigis” in Japan, was added later, providing an epilogue to the game’s events.
Anticipation for Persona 3 Reload
Fans have long hoped for a remake of the game that would not only enhance its graphics but also consolidate all the unique content from its numerous ports and releases. In a rather convoluted and arguably greedy approach, Persona 3 Reload seems to be making strides towards this goal.
Controversies Surrounding Persona 3 Reload
When Persona 3 Reload was announced at Summer Games Fest last year, fans were disappointed by the conspicuous absence of the female protagonist from Portable and the epilogue from FES. This led to modders "fixing" the game by reintroducing some of these features. Despite this, the developers maintained that their original intent was to remake the base game rather than the subsequent releases with added content. However, the upcoming release of “The Answer” as part of an expansion pass that players are expected to purchase contradicts this claim.
Criticism of Atlus's Expansion and DLC Approach
Atlus's approach to expansions and DLCs has often been a point of criticism, and this recent move might be their most controversial yet. Previous examples include Persona 4 Golden, which was resold at full price with a new epilogue, and Persona 5 Royal, which was also released at full price years after the original game, with no upgrade option for owners of the original. The decision to sell a nearly 20-year-old expansion, “The Answer,” as part of Persona 3 Reload has been met with widespread disapproval.
The Cost of the Expansion Pass
The expansion pass, priced at $34.99, will take the game through the end of 2024. However, “The Answer” is the only significant story content included in the pass. For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, the expansion pass is available at no additional cost.
