Directed by Katsura Hashino, Persona 3 FES for PlayStation 2 launched on April 19th of 2007. A newly introduced epilogue titled "The Answer," known as 'Episode Aegis' in Japan, takes place after the events of the base game.

The Unreal Engine 4 remake of "Episode Aigis" was released in September of 2024, developed as DLC for Persona 3 Reload.

The Windows PC edition is on Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck.


From the Nintendo product page:
Shortly after transferring to Gekkoukan High School, the protagonist encounters the "Dark Hour." Unfamiliar stillness swallows the city, people turn into eerie coffins, and otherworldly monsters called Shadows swarm. When they are attacked by one of these Shadows and all hope seemed lost, the power of the heart, their Persona is awakened.
