The Episode Aigis expansion for Persona 3 Reload has been developed in response to fan feedback, though there’s no chance of a female protagonist in the future.
At last week’s Xbox Partner Preview, Atlus announced an expansion pass for the remake, including the much-requested epilogue The Answer.
Persona 3 Reload, released earlier this year, was criticised for not including all the extras from various past versions of the game to provide a complete experience. Now, in a new interview with Famitsu (via Persona Central), series general producer Kazuhisa Wada has shared how that feedback inspired development of the expansion.
“We wanted to make [Episode Aigis] happen from the first drafts of P3R, as we felt that it would be essential to have the concluding arc if we were remaking Persona 3,” said Wada. “Due to various circumstances, however, there were a lot of difficulties which had to be overcome in order to make the remake a reality, with challenges from the outset of the main P3R project. As a result we had to abandon the remake of Episode Aigis.
