50 mins of uncut Persona 3 Reload gameplay released

Social Stats in consist of three separate stats, including Academics, Courage, and Charm, each with a different method for increasing them. While raising Social Stats passively through completing other tasks is possible, this is not recommended, as maxing them out quickly is essential.

It’s time to start sharpening your buster swords and slotting your Materia because Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is right around the corner. This second chapter in the remake trilogy is one of the most anticipated games of 2024, so fans are no doubt eager to rejoin Cloud and Avalanche as they step out of Midgar to continue the hunt for Sephiroth.

Let’s get right into it. In an industry where remakes and remasters are far from rare, Persona 3 Reload is an absolute masterclass on the idea. As the progenitor of the modern Persona game, Persona 3 was a diamond in the rough at a time when JRPGs struggled with their identity. It seems only fitting that 17 years after the initial US release, and during another similar identity struggle, Persona 3 Reload shows up with a brand new bag.

What are the chances of this happening? One low-level P3R player accidentally fused one of the highest-level Personas you can create, which rarely happens.

HITMAN maker IO Interactive has lofty aims when it comes to the quality of gameplay animation they want to achieve in Project 007. The game developer is hiring animators, and the studio's Twitter account has shared a few statements from members of the Animation team to intrigue would-be candidates. Joshua Andrew Gleaves, Senior Gameplay Animator, said:

With February fast approaching, many gamers will finally get their hands on Persona 3 Reload, the first true remake in Atlus’s beloved RPG franchise. The game is hyped for numerous reasons, the biggest being that this will be a huge upgrade compared to the original title. Said title, when it came out, was the game that saved not only the franchise but also Atlus as a studio! They used its success to make the equally beloved 4th and 5th entries, then circled around to give this game its due. If you look online right now, you’ll see how excited some gamers are for the title, as they’ve started posting gameplay and cutscenes “ahead of schedule.”

ATLUS has premiered the first 50 minutes of Persona 3 Reload.

With the likes of Shin Megami Tensei 5, Persona 5 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable, Atlus has released a number of its major titles for the Nintendo Switch in recent years, so when the developer announced last year that its next two flagship releases in Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio wouldn’t be coming to Nintendo’s platform, many were taken by surprise.

Easily, one of the biggest “problems” with certain media is their desire to “look cool” and try to bring in people to get their games. It’s not that they shouldn’t try and do this, but sometimes the look of what they show or the intent they’re trying to convey doesn’t quite line up. Ironically, the latest example of this comes from Persona 3 Reload, which isn’t even out yet. Atlus dropped a live-action trailer for the game starring Aidan Gallagher. Who’s that? He’s one of the stars of The Umbrella Academy, where he plays the time traveler called “Five.” He was in the trailer to remind players that within the game, “your time is limited.” So, the connections track, at least.

Obsidian Entertainment debuted some new details and gameplay for Avowed to kick off the Xbox Developer_Direct ’24. Players take on the role of the Envoy of the Aedyr Empire, who ventures to the Living Lands to investigate a magic plague. There’s plenty to discover, including a secret related to the player’s character.

APB Reloaded is being shut down on PS4 and Xbox consoles, Little Orbit and PLAION have announced, though the PC version will remain online. The Xbox version has been offline for a little while due to technical issues, and now there are no plans to bring those servers back. From February 1st, monetisation options will be taken offline for the PS4 version with the final shutdown taking place on August 2nd.

Atlus has outlined all the DLC available when Persona 3 Reload launches on February 2nd, from costume sets to Persona for players. There’s the Persona 5 Royal Phantom Thieves Costume Set, which has the S.E.E.S. donning the Phantom Thieves outfits, and the Persona 5 Royal Shujin Academy Costume Set, which are school uniforms.
