It was released December 22, 2010 in Japan; March 29, 2011 in North America; and April 1, 2011 in Europe.

''The 3rd Birthday'' is not a direct sequel to ''[[Parasite Eve]]'' and ''[[Parasite Eve II]]'' but a "spiritual successor," which is why ''Parasite Eve'' has been excluded from its title. The main reason being that Square Enix lost rights to the series.

''The 3rd Birthday'' is not a direct sequel to ''[[Parasite Eve]]'' and ''[[Parasite Eve II]]'' but a "spiritual successor" which is why ''Parasite Eve'' has been excluded from its title. The title actually references the third appearance of [[Aya Brea]], the main protagonist of the video game series, and the significant changes for the design of the game compared to its predecessors. The title is also closely linked to the third birth of Aya with the Overdive system being referred to as a new form of mitochondria power.

The title actually references the third appearance of [[Aya Brea]], the main protagonist of the video game series, and the significant changes for the design of the game compared to its predecessors. The title is also closely linked to the third birth of Aya with the Overdive system being referred to as a new form of mitochondria power. However, as it is the third game in the ''Parasite Eve'' series, fans have erroneously referred to the game as ''Parasite Eve 3''.

Line 162:

Q: How were Aya and Maeda able to meet again?<br />

A: Because Maeda's "Aya radar" is perfect (laugh). Seriously now, there are people inside the CTI that have connections with Maeda too. (could be a single person, Japanese isn't always clear regarding singular/plural) The inevitable encounter happened after the massacre of the CTI. However, you could say Maeda's protection towards Aya was a part of Blank's plan.

== Characters ==

−

* [[Aya Brea]]: Despite being in her late thirties, Aya appears to be the age of 25 due to her advanced mitochondria. Because of this, she is also the only applicable candidate viable for the Overdive System. She has lost her memories as a result of unknown circumstances, which has led to a drastic change in personality since the first two ''Parasite Eve'' games: She is shown to be more vulnerable and fighting for unknown reasons. She has the ability to travel through time via the Overdive system, and also gained the new ability to body swap. She is the secret weapon for the human race in the fight against the Twisted. In certain trailers, she is shown wearing what might be a wedding ring.

−

* [[Eve Brea]]: Eve was adopted as Aya's sister after the Neo Ark incident in ''Parasite Eve II'', though she is actually a clone of Aya herself. Before the events of ''The 3rd Birthday'', it's said that she went missing along with Kyle Madigan, and due to Aya's missing memories it is unknown why. It is revealed in the end that after Aya was shot on her wedding day, Eve tried to save her by jumping into her body but Aya's soul shattered creating the Twisted.

−

* [[Kyle Madigan]]: The aftermath of the events in ''Parasite Eve II'' implied that Kyle started a relationship with Aya. He and Aya are shown to be married throughout the trailers. However, he and Eve have gone missing for reasons unknown in ''The 3rd Birthday''. Aya has been shown to see him in recent trailers, but doesn't know who he is. It is implied in the trailers that Kyle has some kind of connection to the Twisted incidents.

−

* [[Kunihiko Maeda]]: Following the events of the New York Blockade Incident from the first ''Parasite Eve'', he returned to Japan, but made the trip back to New York after the Twisted outbreak. In ''The 3rd Birthday'', Maeda has a special shelter that he's converted out of an old storage house. A specialist in Mitochondria research and an old friend from her past, he has earned great trust from Aya.

−

* [[Hyde Bohr]]: Head of CTI's Overdive division. He's a pro when it comes to the technological side of the investigation and will give clear guidance to those he sends out to the battle field. His allies place trust in him, but he is easily misunderstood due to his cold composure and insistence on perfection. He was the main antagonist of the game.

−

* [[Thelonious Cray]]: A former army special forces agent and now a special investigator operating in CTI's Overdive investigation division. When CTI was formed, he was called upon due to his knowledge of combat strategy. He serves as Aya's trainer and will also apparently teach you the game's controls.

−

* [[Dr. Blank]]: A researcher in CTI's Overdive division and head of computer systems for CTI as a whole. His true nature is surrounded in mystery, but he's called Dr. Blank because his computer handle means "empty".

−

* [[Hunter Owen]]: Head of CTI. While he was originally on a path to head up the FBI, he was temporarily placed as CTI's head following the Twisted invasion. In the trailers, he is shown apparently attempting to kill Aya, calling her a monster that can't be trusted.

−

* [[Gabrielle Monsigny]]: A special investigator with CTI's Overdive Division. She's particularly skilled as a sniper, and trains Aya in this area. She is shown in past trailers lending her body to Aya three days prior for an Overdive operation.

−

* [[Emily Jefferson]]: A friend of Eve's.
