The Answer, which was originally introduced in the expanded PS2 release of the 2006 JRPG, was notable for its absence from the recent remake, which otherwise expanded the game in various other areas such as social activities and dialogue.

After playing coy about whether The Answer would come to Reload, Atlus revealed during today’s Xbox Partner Preview stream that the ‘final chapter’ of Persona 3’s story will be released as paid DLC later this year, as the last part of a three-wave expansion pass throughout 2024.

The expansion pass’ first drop on March 12th will add music fromPersona 5 RoyalandPersona 4 Golden, with a second wave in May also adding extra background music alongside a set of Velvet Room costumes. Episode Aigis -The Answer-, as the DLC will be known in a combination of its English and Japanese titles, will then arrive in September.

Two personas appear during combat in Persona 3 Reload DLC Episode Aigis -The Answer-

The reveal of Reload’s expansion pass with Episode Aigis -The Answer- as its ‘final chapter’ suggests that we won’t be seeing the secondary, female protagonist introduced inPersona 3 Portableanytime soon. (P3P remainsplayable on PC via Steam, if you’re curious.) Atlus previously said thatthere won’t be a Persona 5 Royal-style edition of the remake, either, so you can at least pick up this DLC knowing it won’t be bundled into an even more polished re-release a year down the line.
