During today’s Xbox Partner Showcase, Atlus revealed Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis, The Answer, will in fact be coming to the RPG after all. It will be part of a 3-wave Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload that includes BGM sets and Velvet costumes as well. While the cosmetic content releases next week and in May, The Answer releases in September.
Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass
The Expansion Pass is split into three waves. The first wave releases on March 12 and includes a Persona 5 Royal EX BGM Set and a Persona 4 Golden EX BGM Set. Then, in May, Expansion Pass owners will receive the Velvet Costume cosmetics and a new BGM Set. Finally sometime in September, Episode Aigis, The Answer, will be released. The Answer is essentially post-ending DLC to Persona 3 which expands the story and adds some new content as well.
Surely, not everyone is going to be happy with this news. For starters, many were shocked to see that Persona 3 Reload would not include The Answer in the base game. Also, choosing to bundle it into an Expansion Pass that features some music and a few costumes with a $35 price tag seems a bit steep when the base game was already $70.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get access to the Expansion Pass for free through January 31, 2025.
Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass will be available starting March 12 when the first BGM wave drops. It will cost $34.99 and be available on Steam, Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
