Following a major leak just a few days back, Atlus has now officially unveiled both Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica. Announced as part of the Xbox Games Showcase, Persona 3 Reload will look to remake the PS2-era installment in the RPG franchise with elements that are similar to what was seen in Persona 5. Persona 5 Tactica, on the other hand, is yet another spin-off from P5 that now takes the sub-series into the tactical RPG genre.

Persona 3 Reload is likely the biggest game that Atlus showed off today as its existence has been rumored for quite some time. Although Atlus just ported Persona 3 Portable to modern platforms earlier this year, Reload will look to give the entirety of Persona 3 a fresh coat of paint, updated UI, and more up-to-date gameplay mechanics. Atlus hasn’t confirmed an official launch date for Persona 3 Reload just yet, but it will release at some point in early 2024. As for the platforms, it’s currently only known to be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. However, a launch on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch also seems feasible.
Persona 5 Tactica was a bit of a more surprising announcement from Atlus as it seemed like the developer might finally look to move past creating P5 spin-off titles. Instead, Persona 5 Tactica will see the Phantom Thieves returning once again in a new story that features a number of new characters and gameplay stylings. Likely the biggest departure though is that P5 Tactica will feature chibi-style artwork that is more similar to the Persona Q series that previously came to Nintendo 3DS. The game is set to release later this year on November 17 and will also be coming to Xbox platforms and Game Pass.
