Persona 3 Reload for Nintendo Switch Hasn't Been Ruled Out Yet, Says Atlus

Persona 3 Reload may arrive on Switch eventually.

Even though it's not coming to Nintendo Switch upon its arrival in a couple of weeks, Atlus says it hasn't ruled out bringing Persona 3 Reload to Nintendo Switch just yet. Over the past couple of years, Atlus has made a much stronger push to bring many of its Persona titles from the past to different platforms. This has resulted in games like Persona 5 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable all coming to Nintendo Switch after numerous requests from fans. And while the same can't be said for Persona 3 Reload just yet, that doesn't mean it won't be ported further down the road. 

Speaking to Atomix, those working on Persona 3 Reload at Atlus internal team P-Studio said that the P3 remake was never intended to come to Switch from its first concept. That being said, the developers added that the idea for such a port does obviously exist and the potential to bring P3R to Switch is feasible. Still, for this to come to pass, those at P-Studio would have to talk amongst themselves and decide if this platform should be supported later on. 

"Since we began conceptualizing everything that would come in Persona 3 Reload, we decided that there would be no version for the Nintendo Switch," said P-Studio's director Takuya Yamaguchi and producer Ryota Niitsum of the idea. "Of course, the idea is there, but it's a matter of discussing it with the team and seeing what they think about it and we'll see what happens."

In a general sense, it shouldn't be too hard to bring Persona 3 Reload to Switch, especially since the game is already coming to last-gen hardware in PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Not to mention, the Persona series as a whole is never one that has demanded much in terms of power, especially since the game's combat is turn-based. All of this is to say that the process of bringing Persona 3 Reload to Switch likely wouldn't be too difficult, but whether or not Atlus wants to go through the effort of making this version of the game isn't yet known.
