Persona 3 Reload is a JRPG in the Persona series developed by Atlus and published by Sega. It serves as a remake of the 2006 PlayStation 2 game Persona 3 and is also the first game in the Persona series to use the Unreal Engine, rather than a proprietary engine.[2]
The game was released on February 2, 2024 on the Microsoft Store and Steam, following an announcement in June 2023. While the game includes improvements to the gameplay and presentation to make it more alike Persona 5 Royal, it also forgoes content that was introduced in the previous re-releases of Persona 3, Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable.[3]
Persona 3 Reload was highly praised as a faithful remake without major technical issue upon release. While the game natively does not support some features such as ultra-widescreen display and adjusting field of view, workarounds were made available by the modding community shortly following release.
