Excitement is brewing for the upcoming release of Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio! Persona 3 Reload, a modernized remake of the beloved 2006 RPG, is set to hit the shelves on February 2, gracing platforms such as PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Metaphor: ReFantazio later this year, which will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PC.

Recently, Persona modder MeovvCAT sparked a frenzy by sharing an Atomix article discussing Atlus' initial decision to skip a Nintendo Switch version for Persona 3 Reload, despite passionate pleas from fans.

In an interview with AtomixVG, Atlus shed light on their decision-making process, revealing that they had initially opted against a Nintendo Switch version for Persona 3 Reload. However, they are now taking note of the demand and considering discussions within the team.

Persona 3 Reload promises a fresh take on the classic RPG with its revamped battle system, updated graphics, enhanced gameplay, and immersive audio experience. On the other hand, Metaphor: ReFantazio, originally announced as Project Re Fantasy back in 2016, marks Studio Zero's debut into the world of original RPGs, boasting contributions from talents associated with the Megami Tensei franchise.
