Leaker has bad news for the Persona 3 Reload Switch port

The original Persona 3 game was a major hit on the PlayStation 2 and it later received an enhanced version for the fan-favourite console, the PlayStation Portable, which many consider as the "superior" version. Both versions captivated players with their unique and suspenseful storylines, where characters navigate an eerie dimension filled with ominous shadows. These elements continue to make "Persona 3" a game worth playing today.

With the remake, it's possible that Atlus is testing new gameplay mechanics and graphics, and the processing load may be more demanding than the Switch can handle. However, there's a glimmer of hope for those yearning for a Switch port. The latest mainline entry, Persona 5, was successfully ported to the Nintendo Switch years after its initial console release, so there is precedent for this hope.

In the meantime, Nintendo Switch players have alternatives to satiate their Persona cravings by playing Persona 3 Portable, which is available for $19.99. Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, both hailed as the definitive editions of their respective games, are available on the Switch as well.

Despite the initial disappointment, Persona 3 Reload remains one of the most anticipated JRPG releases. It's a nostalgic trip for long-time Persona fans while appealing to newcomers with its upgraded aesthetics and gameplay.

While it may not launch on all desired platforms, fans can keep the flame of hope alive for a future port, and in the interim, enjoy the rich Persona universe available on the Nintendo Switch.
