Persona 3 Reload Achievement Teases “The Answer” DLC

Gamers are still rightfully praising Atlus for releasing Persona 3 Reload earlier in the month. The remake was a true “labor of love,” and it showed. Not only were the graphics overhauled, but new gameplay elements were added, other quality-of-life improvements were interlaced with the previous version to make it stand out from the crowd, and they even brought in a new voice-acting crew to give the game a new sound.

While we won’t go too deep into spoilers about what “The Answer” is, if you’ve played the previous versions of the 4th and 5th entries, you’ll know that the main games’ stories were expanded to introduce new characters and give your characters more to do to further tie up the storylines.

The only difference here is that Atlus seems to be walking the DLC path with this one instead of doing a full-on re-release, as the other titles had. Given the “remake treatment” the third title got, it’s fair enough that Atlus needed extra time to
