News 'Persona 4 Reload' Seems Imminent, But We Still Need The Third Entry
Another for the Switch 2 wishlist
One of 2024's absolute best games came in the form of Persona 3 Reload from Atlus. A remake of the 2006 entry Persona 3, it sadly didn't grace the Nintendo Switch, but we remain relatively confident (hopeful?) that Atlus will launch it on the upcoming Switch 2. Now, however, it seems like a remake of Persona 4 is...

I can't believe this is actually real! I've only ever played Persona 4 so I'm excited to see what the hype is about here!
@Vortexeo then get ready for the phantom thieves to steal your heart!!!!
Physical release?
@Nebnosneh yes.
This isn't seemingly, this is a legitimate Japan Eshop page while it may change file sizes this isn't a fake leak this is the switch Eshop in Japan
This will be my first Persona game and I'm hyped! Glad its getting a physical release!
I just finished playing Persona 5 Royal and what a disappointment. The game does have some great music and great style; but, the gameplay is repetitive. The player can’t just go to different places at any time of the day. When you consider that the Switch has completely open world games, this games offers little interaction with the world and NPCs. This game is just hype.
@Sgt_Falcon of course it’s ok to not like the game, but it really is unfair to compare a turn based jrpg to an open world game. The games have entirely different goals in terms of the experience they’re trying to provide
Wow, this game is just like Library of Ruina. When are they going to add stagger meter and Morgana distorting into Charlie Wacholz
