See the S.E.E.S. members' lives after the events of Persona 3 Reload in the Bridge of Time trailer for Episode Aigis

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that upon gazing upon these enchanting images from Persona 3: Reload – Episode Aigis, I am immediately transported back to my youth. The nostalgia is palpable, as if the cool autumn winds of Iwatodai High School are whispering in my ears once more.

Atlus has revealed a fresh trailer for the Episode Aigis -The Answer- add-on, which is for Persona 3 Reload, showcasing the updated version of The Answer epilogue that was initially part of Persona 3 FES. The recently released Bridge of Time trailer emphasizes the sorrow felt by the surviving S.E.E.S. members following the events depicted in Persona 3 Reload.

Some members want to redo the past, while others want to push forward into the future. An important decision divides the group in Episode Aigis ~The Answer~.

In the spotlight, we have Aigis who assumes the role as our leading character. She acquires some of the Theurgy abilities from the original protagonist in Persona 3 Reload. Important artifacts discovered within the novel dungeon lead to the unveiling of additional Linked Episode sequences involving other team members.

As a fan who’s played Persona 3: Reload, I can carry over my game progress directly into Episode Aigis! This means my current Persona Compendium from the game will be recognized in Episode Aigis. However, for those aiming for the toughest challenge on Heartless difficulty, please note that you won’t be able to transfer your compendium and summon Personas lower than Aigis’s level.

To get hold of The Episode Aigis DLC, you’ll need to buy the separate paid Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass, which is not included in either the Digital Deluxe or Digital Premium Editions of Persona 3 Reload. However, if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you’ll receive the Expansion Pass for free.

Currently, it’s undetermined whether Episode Aigis -The Answer- will be available for individual purchase. However, the launch date for this episode is set for September 10th.

You can now play Persona 3 Reload on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam for PC.

Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis -The Answer-
Go Beyond the Journey
On March 31st, just as our dorm was about to close down, we, the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (S.E.E.S.), found ourselves trapped in a time loop, reliving this very day over and over again. Joined by Metis, an enigmatic android who claims to be Aigis’s sister, we embarked on a quest to uncover the source of a mysterious anomaly known as the Abyss of Time that had suddenly emerged beneath our dorm.
In a fresh perspective, Episode Aigis -The Answer- is a follow-up story where Aigis takes center stage. Now that she’s mastered the wild card’s power, she can summon and control multiple Personas much like the original hero did. This installment retains the stunning visuals and gameplay enhancements from the original, along with new Theurgy skills and field actions exclusive to Aigis’ gameplay. Prepare to unveil secrets anew, but this time even more thrillingly!

Her unique Persona is Psyche, specializing in Physical, Wind, and Ice skills.
