While having new background music and cosmetic outfits is neat, the star of this announcement is without a doubt the Episode Aigis -The Answer- DLC. For the uninitiated, Episode Aigis -The Answer- is a remake of The Answer storyline expansion that was included in Persona 3 FES back on the PlayStation 2.
The story takes place after the events of Persona 3 and it involves our heroes, S.E.E.S. being trapped in a time loop of March 31, 2010. Players take on the role of Aigis, an android with the power to summon a Persona, as she leads her comrades through the mysterious Abyss of Time dungeon to discover the cause of this time loop and stop it so things can get back to normal.

In myreview of Persona 3 Reload, I mentioned that one of my very few criticisms of one of thebest Xbox JRPGswas the lack of -The Answers- storyline from Persona 3 FES as it served as a memorable and satisfying conclusion to the original Persona 3’s story.
So it’s nice to see Atlus hasn’t forgotten about this storyline and is hard at work reimaging it for Persona 3 Reload. I can’t wait to revisit Aigis' harrowing journey, remade with the improved graphics and gameplay mechanics of one of thebest Xbox gamesof 2024.
