Summary
Following the launch ofPersona 3 Reload, a recent leak has provided evidence of Atlus' potential post-launch DLC plans, supporting a claim made by a notable leaker.Persona 3 Reloadlaunched on February 2 to critical acclaim.Reload’s focus on remaking the original game ended up skipping over some elements exclusive to previousPersona 3re-releases, such as The Answer epilogue fromPersona 3 FES.
Despite its omission fromReload, recent rumors suggest that this content will be incorporated asPersona 3 Reload’s post-launch DLC. This claim was first made by MbKKssTBhz5, or Midori, a notable leaker of Atlus' games with a reliable track record. She made the claim that The Answer would be added as DLC, with other cosmetics and music being added after launch as well. Shortly afterPersona 3 Reload’s release, modders found evidence that suggests these claims aren’t unfounded.
The leak wasposted by ruinedstego on Twitter, who found this information through data miningPersona 3 Reload. The data mine revealed that six new pieces of DLC are being planned to be released in the “P3R Expansion Pass.” This will give players a set of items, new costumes, music, andThe Answer epilogue fromPersona 3 FES. The extra songs originate fromPersona 4 GoldenandPersona 5 Royal, with a separate pack that includes remixes of the Velvet Room’s theme. There is also a Velvet Room costume set, which will likely give players the option to dress their party members in the same outfits as the Velvet Room attendants.
Modders were able to confirm that some of these DLC tracks already existin the Steam version ofPersona 3 Reload. Some were even able to have these tracks play whileexploring the Tartarus dungeonby forcingReloadto load tracks like “I believe” fromPersona 5 Royalor “Backside of the TV” fromPersona 4 Golden, stating that the code for the two related DLCs already exists internally. Other versions, like the Xbox Game Pass PC version, don’t have these tracks in the code.
A lot of what has been found in this data mine matches up with what Midori has previously stated. According to Midori, Atlus plans on releasing this DLC during the 2025 fiscal year. Midori also stated that fans shouldn’t expect a DLC based onthePersona 3 Portablefemale protagonist’s story, which is seemingly supported by this data mine. Despite this mountain of evidence, fans should still wait until Atlus releases more official information regarding post-launch DLC forPersona 3 Reload.
