Persona 3 Reload is a remake of the 2006 title that features brand-new visuals, a remixed soundtrack, and various gameplay changes to bring it in line with more recent Persona titles. While The Answer epilogue from FES was excluded from the original game, it will be restored as the Episode Aigis DLC for Reload's Expansion Pass.

Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Release Date and Bonuses
Episode Aegis will be released on September 10, 2024, according to a new trailer shown during the Persona Live Tour 2024 concert. The DLC's release date is notable because it corresponds to the day Aigis was originally awakened, excluding her test run in Persona 3: The First Mission (her solo game).
Atlus, the publisher of Persona 3 Reload, will not release the controversial Episode Aigis expansion on its own, forcing players to purchase it as part of the $35 Expansion Pass.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, on the other hand, can claim the Expansion Pass perks, which give them full access to the Expansion Pass without having to pay for it. This also effectively grants users complete access to all of Reload's material, even if they are no longer members of the Ultimate Tier.
The previously published Persona 5 Royal EX BGM Set, Persona 4 Golden EX BGM Set, and Velvet Costume & BGM Set are all included in the Persona 3 Reload: Expansion Pass.

Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Content
The trailer provides a glimpse of Episode Aigis gameplay, in which players explore The Abyss of Time, a new dungeon that has opened beneath Iwatodai Dorm. Aigis and S.E.E.S. meet a new character, Metis, who is an Anti-Shadow Weapon like Aigis and uses the Persona Psyche.
While Episode Aigis' story is the same as the original, several gameplay aspects and content will be added to give it a unique experience. Some of these additions include new interaction events with Metis, similar to the Dorm Hangouts in Reload, as well as Fusion Spells for Aigis, a mechanic she did not have access to in FES.
This preview also teases some of the interactions and storylines from Episode Aigis, as well as some re-recorded dialogue from Metis. Metis appears to be voiced by a different actor in English, similar to how the cast changed for Reload in the English version.
The DLC is said to add about 30 hours of content to the base game and will serve as the epilogue of Persona 3 Reload.
