Following the official announcement of Persona 3 Reload, fans discovered an unlisted trailer which seemed to suggest that the remake would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. We now know for certain that this isn’t happening, but ATLUS have revealed that while there are no plans for a Switch release, “the idea is there.”
In an interview with the Spanish publication Atomix – and shared by Persona YouTuber ‘ScrambledFez’ – Persona 3 Reload’s developers ‘P-Studio’ were asked about the rumoured Nintendo Switch version. In response, they stated:
“As soon as we began to conceptualize everything that would come in Persona 3 Reload, we decided that there would be no version for the Nintendo Switch. Of course the idea is there, but it's a matter of discussing it with the team and seeing what they think about it and we'll see what happens.”
It is interesting to see no Switch version of the game, especially as Persona 5 Royal was eventually ported to the system to a great deal of success. That said, with the Switch’s successor rumoured to be on its way quite soon, it is possible that the team are holding off for the next-gen console.
KitGuru says: Were you expecting a Switch version? Why do you think they aren’t bringing it to the system? Let us know down below.
