Here’s The Answer: Missing Persona 3 Bonus Chapter To Be Added As DLC
When Atlus remastered and re-released Persona 3 earlier this year, most fans were grateful but noticed it wasn’t the complete package. The original Playstation 2 release was followed up with an “expanded” edition that included an extra portion of the story, called “The Answer.” Now gamers wanted an answer from Atlus, but they remained silent….until today. All those who cynically put forth the theory that Atlus was saving The Answer to sell it separately as DLC were correct, but that probably doesn’t surprise them. The company made the announcement today during the XBox Partner Showcase. This new version of The Answer features “cutting-edge graphics, modernized quality-of-life features and all the upgrades that came with Persona 3 Reload.” To get The Answer, also known as Episode Aegis, you’ll need to purchase the Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload, which grants you other things besides that: you will receive the Persona 5 Royal EX BGM Set and Persona 4 Golden EX BGM Set when the pass goes on sale, the Velvet Costume

Games Done Quick’s Frost Fatales Is Back For 2024
Last year the charity marathonners of Games Done Quick launched a sub-marathon for female gamers exclusively. They call themselves the Frame Fatales, except in winter when they call themselves the Frost Fatales. The 2024 marathon just started and it runs all week. Proceeds benefit the National Women’s Law Center. The difference between this and the main GDQ marathon, aside from the focus on women, is that it doesn’t run 24 hours per day. Each day of Frost Fatales will begin at around 9:30 AM Pacific / 12:30 PM Eastern and conclude twelve hours later at 9:30 PM 12:30 AM. But a lot will be packed into those seven days: scheduled speedruns start with Tomb Raider (running as I’m typing this), Timespinner, Haven. Afterimage, GYLT, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 4, Maid of Sker, Sonic Adventure DX, Luigi’s Mansion, Link’s Awakening DX, Metroid Dread, Haunting Ground, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, and something called “Scoot Kaboom and the Tomb of Doom.” Things will wrap up with Paper Mario on the evening of
Square Thinks They Can Get The FF7 Trilogy Done By 2027
As I’ve been progressing through FF7 Rebirth these past few weeks, one thing has become clear: a ton of work went into it. The game contains way more content than I’ll probably ever see or complete. It took four years to get this to us, so does that mean we can expect the third and final part of the FF7 trilogy in another four? Series director Tetsuya Nomura thinks it can actually be done in three. This bit of information comes from the new behind-the-scenes book Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Ultimania. The book isn’t out yet but Twitter user aitaikimochi has obtained an advance copy. Nomura said that, at the time of the interview, the story outline for Part 3 had been locked down and they were about to start recording voices. He revealed the development time for FF7 Rebirth was actually three years, not four, but that extra year was spent creating DLC content (which we guess will be revealed soon). So he figures the third and final chapter
