New Threads and Persona Roster
ATLUS isn’t holding back when it comes to Persona 3 Reload. First up, say hello to revamped S.E.E.S. Combat Uniforms that the squad rocks in Tartarus. The character art of the Protagonist, Yukari Takeba, and Junpei Iori showcases their new drip.
- Protagonist (VA: Aleks Le)
- Weapon: One-handed short sword
- Initial Persona: Orpheus
- Theurgy: Cadenza, Best Friends
The Protagonist wields a one-handed short sword and summons Orpheus, echoing themes from Greek mythology. What’s more, the Wild Card trait lets him juggle multiple Personas and Theurgies.
- Yukari Takeba (VA: Heather Gonzalezi)
- Weapon: Bow and arrow
- Persona: Io
- Theurgy: Cyclone Arrow
Yukari’s got that wind and healing mojo with her Persona Io. Her Cyclone Arrow Theurgy can bypass enemy defenses to dish out heavy wind-type damage.
- Junpei Iori (VA: Zeno Robinson)
- Weapon: Two-handed Sword
- Persona: Hermes
- Theurgy: Hack n’ Blast
Junpei steps into the arena with his two-handed sword and Persona Hermes, focusing on fire and slash attacks. His Hack n’ Blast Theurgy does serious damage, no questions asked.
The Daily Grind: Social Stats & Dorm Life
Persona 3 Reload keeps it real with Social Stats: Courage, Charm, and Academics. Whether you’re hitting the books or working a part-time gig, leveling up these stats unlocks new gameplay elements.
In the dorms, you’re not just crashing after class. From rooftop gardening to movie nights, activities with the crew can enhance Social Stats and gift your friends with Combat Characteristics—abilities that offer perks like reduced healing costs and increased critical rates.
Roll Call: Meet the Cast
Student life at Gekkoukan High lets you build Social Links, essential bonds that juice up your Persona abilities. From second-year classmates like Kenji Tomochika to the rule-enforcing Hidetoshi Odagiri, each person has a unique relationship to offer. This remake features all-new portrait art and full voice acting for Social Link characters.
Extra Content: Physical & Digital Editions
Die-hard fans can snag the Physical Limited Edition: Persona 3 Reload Aigis Edition, packed with an Aigis figure, artbook, and a full soundtrack. On the digital front, there are two special editions that include the artbook and soundtrack, along with all available DLC at launch.
