Players can currently play “Persona 3 Portable” on PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch platforms. , “Persona 4: Golden Edition” and “Persona 5: Royal Edition” three main stories. However, the latest sequel in the series, “Persona 3 Reload”, which is a remake of the original “Persona 3”, skipped the Nintendo Switch console. Even so, the game’s producers have recently hinted that the game may still be available on the Nintendo platform.
Just in 2022, “Persona 5: Royal Edition”, which was originally exclusive on the PS4 platform, was officially launched on the Nintendo Switch platform, and “Persona 4: Golden Edition” also came to the platform that year. After that, the two spin-offs of “Persona 5”, “Persona 5 Brawl: Phantom Strikers” and “Persona 5: Tactics”, also launched NS versions. Therefore, many players were a little surprised that the new game in the series, “Persona 3 Reload,” skipped this platform when it was first launched.
Although it is still unclear why the team made this decision, “Persona 3 Reload” director Takuya Yamaguchi and producer Ryota Niizuma mentioned this release decision in a recent interview with the Spanish media Atomix.vg website, hinting that It is still very likely that they will launch an NS version of “Persona 3 Reload” after they are approved.
“From the time we were imagining all the content that would be included in Persona 3 Reload, we decided that there would be no Nintendo Switch version. Of course, the idea is still there, but the real issue is talking about it with the team , let’s see what they think about this, and we will take care of it later,” they said.
Although it has not been clearly confirmed that “Persona 3 Reload” will be on the NS platform, at least director Takuya Yamaguchi and producer Ryota Niizuma have shown that they do understand the needs of NS players for this game. In addition, another possibility is that the Nintendo platform that “Persona 3 Reload” is currently planning to launch is not the Nintendo Switch, but a successor model that has not yet been officially released to the public. Many rumors and inferences suggest that Nintendo will launch this new machine this year, but the exact news has yet to be confirmed.
“Persona 3 Reload” will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S platforms on February 2.
