Confirmed: Persona 3 Reload Is Heading to Nintendo Switch

There is mounting speculation that Persona 3 Reload may be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, thanks to some recently surfaced evidence. Although Atlus has only confirmed that the remake of their acclaimed 2006 RPG will be available on PC and the last two generations of PlayStation and Xbox consoles, the possibility of a Switch release is not out of the question. This wouldn't be the first time that a remastered Persona game initially announced for other platforms has made its way to the Switch, with Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal all following a similar trajectory. A German retailer had previously leaked the existence of the Switch versions of Persona 5 Royal and its two predecessors just before Atlus revealed the full list of target platforms for the remastered games.

Recent retail listings for the rumored Switch port of Persona 3 Reload have sparked speculation that the game may be on its way to Nintendo's console. While it's important to note that early retailer listings aren't always reliable indicators of platform availability, the fact that the last three Persona titles for the Switch also leaked before their official announcement adds some weight to the theory. The Switch versions of the 3D remasters were all officially announced at the last Nintendo Direct Mini dedicated to third parties, and with rumors of a new event focused on third-party games on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating news about the potential Persona 3 Reload release.

There is uncertainty surrounding whether the upcoming Persona 3 remake will be released on the Nintendo Switch. However, Atlus has confirmed that the primary focus of the project is to reimagine the 2006 original, meaning that certain content that fans were hoping for will not be included in Persona 3 Reload. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that features from Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable could be added to the game as DLC, given Atlus' history of providing post-launch content for its games. Persona 3 Reload will be released in early 2024 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
