This video runs for slightly over 21 minutes with animated pixel art by Motocross Saito. Even though this anniversary is based on the inaugural Persona 3 release, DJ VaVa primarily used tracks from the Persona 3 Reload remake for these remixes, with Lotus Juice also having contributed new vocals here.

The first half of this video features remixes of Reload‘s opening song “Full Moon Full Life,” followed by Reload versions of “Want to be Close,” “When the Moon’s Reaching Out Stars,” and “Iwatodai Dorm,” as well as the new nighttime song “Color Your Night.”

The new remix video is available to watch right below:

In addition, Atlus also shared a new illustration of the Persona 3 protagonist by Shigenori Soejima. This art was drawn to celebrate not only the 20th anniversary of the original game but also the 3 million worldwide sales milestone for Persona 3 Reload.

Persona 3 originally appeared for PlayStation 2 in Japan on July 13, 2006, with its English localization released later on. Atlus has since released the Persona 3 Reload remake simultaneously worldwide, and the latter is readily available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
