The final of thePersona 3 Reload DLC packs, Episode Aigis, is coming soon - and it’s bringing a surprise throwback along when it drops this fall, September 10.Persona 5protagonist Joker is making a grand return to the series in the epilogue expansion, albeit this time as a boss rather than a playable character. That’s right - the S.E.E.S team will get to face off against one of the previous greats himself.
Episode Aigis' new teaser shows Joker making a stunning appearance before the Persona 3 Reload epilogue’s crew - an epic entrance if I do say so myself. Exciting doesn’t quite cut it - I look forward to seeing how this one-off battle with the Persona 5 figure fits in between the 30 or so hours of story content coming with Episode Aigis. I’m also intrigued to learn just how difficult the fight is.
If you’re similarly interested in snagging the epilogue as soon as it drops, you can grab the Expansion Passright nowfor $34.99 to gain access to all of the Persona 3 Reload DLC. For reference, that includes special soundtracks from Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, as well as Velvet Room-themed costumes - on top of the game-sized Episode Aigis DLC itself.
