The original Persona 3, which forms the basis of Persona 3 Reload, reached its 20th anniversary on July 13, 2026 in Japan (July 12 in North America). To mark the occasion, ATLUS has released a new “20th anniversary illustration” drawn by original character designer Shigenori Soejima, along with a commemorative music video titled “‘Persona3’ 20th Anniversary Remix.”
