A Legendary Detective Adventure

During the official announcement, an Atlus spokesperson shared that the remaster “offers an elevated, yet faithful, update designed to celebrate the original’s legacy while welcoming new players.” The studio’s commitment to quality shines in every aspect, from the meticulously reimagined visuals to the new voice work and expanded gameplay mechanics.
