Fans of the Persona series have a lot to look forward to this year as the third wave of DLC in the Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass, titled Episode Aigis – The Answer, is set to make its debut on September 10. The newly released “Bridge of Time” trailer gives us our best look yet at the upcoming epilogue to Persona 3 Reload.
Taking place immediately after the events of the base game, this expansion dives back into the story as the SEES team prepares to disband following the destruction of Tartarus. With their Evokers—the gun-like devices used to channel their Personas—handed in, the team faces a bittersweet farewell.
However, their plans are abruptly interrupted when they are pulled into an anomaly and attacked by a mysterious robot woman who bears a striking resemblance to Aigis. Thankfully, the real Aigis arrives just in time to help fend off this enigmatic attacker.
It turns out that the assailant is Metis, a robot who considers Aigis her sister and initially perceived the SEES team as a threat. Metis reveals that the team is trapped in the Abyss of Time, an immense dungeon ensnared in a perpetual time loop. To escape, they must find a way to destroy this temporal prison.
In a dramatic twist, Aigis undergoes a significant transformation. Awakening a new power known as the Wild Card—the same ability that allowed the protagonist of the base game to summon and switch between multiple Personas—Aigis becomes a fully-fledged protagonist in this expansion. With access to the Velvet Room and a new set of abilities, she is set to lead the charge in this “time-bending” adventure.
The newly released trailer showcases Aigis in action, revealing the expanded environments, updated UI, and new challenges players will face. Players are also joined by Metis as a new party member throughout the DLC. Metis’s Persona, Psyche, wields ice and physical skills, making her a strong offensive companion.
Prepare to dive back into the world of Persona 3 and uncover the mysteries that await in the Abyss of Time. Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis – The Answer will be available on PS5 and PS4 on September 10. Check out the trailer below:
