ATLUS has confirmed rumors in the community after they confirmed the existence of The Answer “Episode Aigis” DLC along with an Expansion Pass that includes even more additional content for the game.

Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis -The Answer- DLC

After weeks of speculation and unconfirmed accounts, ATLUS has finally officially revealed that the Episode Aigis -The Answer- will be added to Persona 3 Reload along with a couple of other DLCs.

The Answer is an epilogue, and a continuation, of the main story of Persona 3, and was also available in the original version of the game. Without spoiling too much, this epilogue features the sentient robot Aigis as its protagonist as she awakens to the power of the Wild Card.

The trailer that announced The Answer for Persona 3 Reload also gave us a first look at Metis, the new party member who will be joining SEES. New Theurgies, a sneak peek at the dungeon, and more were also revealed.

 

A short message from Kazuhisa Wada, the Persona Series Producer, was also uploaded along with the announcement of the Expansion Pass.

“Persona 3 received an amazing reaction which greatly exceeded our expectations, so we added all kinds of new content and a brand new story,” said Wada about the original release of The Answer.

He also talked about how ATLUS wanted to remake -The Answer- for Persona 3 Reload, but had to halt development. “We felt that Persona 3 Reload would not be complete without The Answer, which concludes the game's story. As such, a remake of The Answer is something that we had hoped for since the game's early planning stages,” said Wada. “However, due to various circumstances, we were ultimately forced to abandon the project during development.”

The series producer said that the positive feedback about Persona 3 Reload, and the eagerness of the fans for The Answer rejuvenated their passion for the epilogue. “When Persona 3 Reload was officially announced, fans from around the world were eager for the release of The Answer. As developers, the anticipation of our fans is the driving force behind our work. Despite facing setbacks, everything eventually came together, and we owe it all to the unwavering support of our fans for making The Answer possible.”
