The leader of the Phantom Thieves is back and ready to steal more hearts. Well. Kind of. A new trailer for Persona 3 Reload’s upcoming DLC, Episode Aigis, has revealed that Persona 5 protagonist Joker will be making an appearance in the upcoming expansion. However, rather than assisting the ragtag group of SEES members in their quest to break a grief-fueled time loop, he’ll serve as a boss fight in the game’s Challenge Battle mode.
Announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live, not much is known about what Joker’s boss fight will entail or why he’s facing off against SEES in the first place. However, brief footage of the battle seems to indicate that it will be a pretty tough time, as Joker is bringing not only his A-game but his powerful Persona Arsene as well.
According to the trailer, the fight will be a Battle Challenge, making it seem likely that the boss fight will be optional. That said, we can’t imagine passing on the opportunity to take on one of the Persona series’ coolest characters. Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis is scheduled to release on September 10 and will be available on PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
