Persona 3 Reload is being developed by “almost all of” P5R team

With Persona 5 first launching all the way back in 2016, many fans have been eagerly awaiting for news on its sequel. Don’t expect this any time soon, as ATLUS have now confirmed that almost the entirety of the P5R team moved over to work on the upcoming Persona 3 Reload.

In an interview conducted by 4Gamer (and translated by Twitter user @MbKKssTBhz5 ‘Midori’), ATLUS revealed a bunch of information on the development of Persona 3 Reload, saying “We’ve had the idea for this project for quite some time, but we didn’t actually start working on it until late 2019.”

They continued, “A few of us started working on it towards the end of development on P5R. But after development of P5R had ended, almost all of those members became the P3R development team. It was like sliding from P5R into P3R.”

Persona 3 Reload is a full from-the-ground-up remake, with visuals, gameplay and more being wholly revamped – including the voice overs, which are getting fresh recordings from a host of new actors.

All that said, with Persona 5 first releasing almost 7 years ago, it is understandable to see why some fans are getting antsy waiting for the next mainline entry. Hopefully P3R is able to satiate the need for more Persona. A translation of the full interview can be found HERE.
