Persona 3 Reload: Beginner’s Gameplay Guide, music video

This October, the latest entry in the Persona series is coming to Nintendo Switch 2: Persona 3 Reload. As the name implies, this one is a full remake of the third main entry in the series, Persona 3.

If you’re new to the series and/or have never played Persona 3, Atlus has shared a Beginner’s Gameplay Guide, going over the basic of the game and its gameplay.

Here it is:

And in case you missed the Nintendo Direct earlier this month (or if you’ve simply forgotten), a demo version is currently available for download. It allows you to play through the beginning of the game, and you can transfer your progress to the full version!

In the Nintendo Switch 2 demo, players can experience the opening of Persona 3 Reload and step into the shoes of a transfer student thrust into an unexpected fate. Awaken an incredible power and chase the mysteries of the Dark Hour, fight for your friends, and leave a mark on their memories forever.

Play through the story’s opening, leading up to the intense, first major boss battle against a formidable, large Shadow. Save data from the demo carries over to the full game, so players who purchase the full game can continue their journey right from where they left off!

Finally, here’s a music video for It’s Going Down Now:

Persona 3 Reload (Switch 2) comes out on October 23rd worldwide.
