Persona 3 Reload arrives on Switch 2 in October

The Nintendo Switch was a great place to play Persona games, and it looks like the outgoing console has passed on the torch to its successor, with last year's Persona 3 Reload kicking things off when it comes to Switch 2 on October 23. 

Reload is a full remake of 2006's Persona 3 (later ported to the PSP as Persona 3 Portable), which Engadget's Mat Smith called "a gorgeous version of itself" in his review. It's both one of the most confusing and influential entries in the long-running series, and the remake's updated visuals means it sits proudly alongside Persona 5 Royal as one of the most stylish RPGs you'll ever play. It's also one of the more repetitive entries, but that didn't put off the many Persona sickos out there from experiencing the remixed game all over again. 

The Switch 2 version of Persona 3 Reload means the game will be playable on practically every modern platform, but the big question will be how it performs on the more powerful hardware. The Switch port of Persona 5 Royal wasn't quite as easy on the eyes as the PlayStation, Xbox and PC versions, but the portability made it the ideal platform for the game all the same. 

Persona 3 Reload comes to Switch 2 on October 23. At the time of writing there's no news on whether a physical version will be available at launch.
