How many years between Persona 3 and 4? Will Persona 3 Reload have a different story?

If you are a fan of the Persona series, you might be wondering how many years are between Persona 3 and Persona 4, and whether Persona 3 Reload will have a different story. Here are some answers for you:

Persona 3 was originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006, and Persona 4 followed in 2008, so there are only two years between them.

However, Persona 3 Portable, an enhanced version of Persona 3 with a female protagonist option, was released for the PSP in 2009, and Persona 4 Golden, an expanded version of Persona 4 with new content and features, was released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012. These versions are considered the definitive editions of the games by many fans.

Persona 3 Reload is a rumored remake of Persona 3 that has not been officially confirmed by Atlus, the developer of the series. Some fans speculate that it will be similar to Persona 5 Royal, which added new characters, story elements, gameplay mechanics, and graphics to Persona 5. However, there is no evidence to support this claim, and it is possible that Persona 3 Reload does not exist at all.

If you want to play Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden on modern consoles, you will be happy to know that they will be released on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on January 19, 2023. You can also play them on Steam right now.
