Persona 3 Reload Makes Its Nintendo Switch 2 Debut with Official Music Video, Free Demo, and Digital Editions ATLUS is bringing its acclaimed RPG franchise back to Nintendo fans as Persona 3 Reload arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 23.

Highly anticipated by series devotees, this release comes with the unique combination of a brand-new music video, a widely accessible eShop demo, and multiple digital editions—cementing ATLUS’s place among the foremost JRPG developers in the industry. Persona 3 Reload is a complete reimagining of the original PlayStation 2 classic, now built for current-generation hardware.

Players will experience the compelling tale of high school students navigating both daily life and supernatural trials within the enigmatic 'Dark Hour.' The game's narrative puts players in control of a transfer student faced with unraveling mysteries and battling formidable enemies, all while forging bonds at Gekkoukan High School. To celebrate the upcoming launch, ATLUS has released an official music video for “It’s Going Down Now,” a standout track from the game’s award-winning soundtrack.

This single, which has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, showcases performances by Lotus Juice, Azumi Takahashi, and ATLUS SOUND team lead Toshiki Konishi.

The music video captures the stylish and energetic tone that Persona fans have come to love, offering both new and returning players a taste of the game’s atmospheric appeal. In preparation for the October launch, ATLUS has made a substantial demo of Persona 3 Reload available now via the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop.

This playable preview allows fans to experience the opening section of the game, including student life at Gekkoukan High and the core turn-based battle systems found within the mysterious Dark Hour dungeons.

The demo runs up to the confrontation with the first boss, providing an in-depth look into the revamped visuals, strategic mechanics, and immersive soundtrack that define this modern remake. Persona 3 Reload will be released exclusively in digital format on Nintendo Switch 2, with standard, deluxe, and premium editions available for purchase.

This move aligns with ATLUS and SEGA’s recent digital-first strategy, ensuring players can download the game directly through the Switch 2 eShop on release day. Since its original 2006 debut, Persona 3 has earned critical acclaim and contributed to more than 16 million cumulative sales for the Persona franchise worldwide.

Persona 3 Reload’s anticipated arrival marks a new chapter for Nintendo’s latest console—demonstrating not only the enduring popularity of the genre but also ATLUS’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality RPG experiences.
