Since its announcement in early 2023, Atlus has consistently shared information about the game, emphasizing its comprehensive ground-up remake of the original PS2 version.

Atlus also released the minimum and recommended PC system requirements on Steam, with reasonable specifications, including an Intel Core i7-4790 for the CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti for the GPU in the minimum requirements, and an Intel Core i7-4790 and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 for the recommended specs.
Now, Atlus has unveiled an engaging new trailer for Persona 3 Reload, spotlighting the school life experience at Gekkoukan High School. One notable addition in Persona 3 Reload is the ability for players to explore the answers given by others during classroom questions. The trailer introduces various characters and Social Links that players can engage with at school, offering glimpses into life within the SEES dormitory. Furthermore, players can now receive text messages from friends and classmates. Responding to these messages appears to unlock opportunities for hanging out, fostering stronger relationships. Additionally, players can also utilize the in-game network to discover how fellow players spent specific days.
It is worth highlighting that the previous trailer for Persona 3 Reload, titled "Conflicting Fates," centered on Strega, with members Takaya Sakaki and Jin Shirato opposing SEES during the Dark Hour. The trailer suggested a potential power loss for Strega, highlighted familiar scenes between Chidori Yashino and Junpei Iori, and introduced both familiar and possibly new character moments. Additionally, it briefly delved into the social link with Elizabeth, showcasing reanimated date events from Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable.
