    BREAKING: Atlus West Accidentally Leaks ‘Persona 3 Reload’ Trailer Early, Early 2024 Release

    Well, it seems like Persona 3 Reload is real, as the trailer for the remake of the iconic game has seemingly leaked early. As shared by Twitter user @Spoopy06, the full trailer has seemingly found its way online and was initially shared by Atlus West’s Instagram account. The trailer showcases many familiar sequences but also has a variety of style updates that definitely is more in line with what we see with Persona 5.

    Not just that, it starts with the Xbox logo and ends with “Play it Day 1 With Gamepass” further hinting that this trailer was part of the upcoming Xbox Showcase. So, either they accidentally leaked it with the wrong event or the timing was off. Either way, the trailer confirms that it’s an adaptation of the base game, as there’s no sign of the female route being present in this version of the game. @ScrambledFaz has shared a better look at the adaptation.

    There’s no sign of it including a release on all consoles or PlayStation, but it does seem unlikely that this classic will only be available on one console. So, here’s hoping that the game will also be confirmed for other releases, as we saw a similar strategy with the remaster reveals earlier this year. It was commonly the website that revealed the multi-title release. The only big surprise is that this game is seemingly releasing in early 2024 rather than the rumored later this year. Perhaps that Persona 5 spinoff game, which was also hinted at potentially being revealed soon. Could we have a double-reveal planned for Xbox Showcase?

  • New Domain Update Further Hints at ‘Persona 3’ Remake Reveal as Rumor Hints at New Name

    New Domain Update Further Hints at ‘Persona 3’ Remake Reveal as Rumor Hints at New Name

    With Summer Game Fest just a few more hours away, the rumor mill is starting to go crazy once again. Surprisingly, after many years of holding back on their Persona franchise; especially with its 25th anniversary; it seems like we’re going to have many reveals building up across the rest of 2023. Just recently, we seemingly got a first hint that the rumored Persona 5 spinoff might be revealed soon with an Atlus-owned site titled P5T.jp getting updated.

    Now, it seems like the same has happened with P3RE.jp, which we recently reported is very likely the site used by Atlus for the long-rumored Persona 3 remake. As mentioned, the site now links to a 404 which means that it is technically “live” but being worked on for publication. So, it seems the rumors of an announcement during the Xbox Showcase on Sunday might turn out to be true after all.

    That isn’t all, Persona Central has retweeted an account that shared some supposed details on what we can expect from this remake of Persona 3. While we have to take it with a grain of salt, it seems the project might potentially be titled Persona 3 Reload, which still fits the P3RE.jp titling. They also hint that it’ll likely hit multiple consoles by November of this year.

    They do highlight it’s a “full remake” but add it won’t be a “definitive” version. It might mean that we’re only getting the base game updated to the modern age rather than the Portable or FES versions. Reload is fitting instead of just going with the word remake, as it also matches with the Evokers which are a core element of the entry. With only a few more days to go, here’s hoping the confirmation is around the corner.

  • RUMOR: ‘Persona 3 Remake’ May Finally be Unveiled in Next Month’s Xbox Showcase

    RUMOR: ‘Persona 3 Remake’ May Finally be Unveiled in Next Month’s Xbox Showcase

    It looks like the upcoming PlayStation Showcase won’t have anything for Atlus fans if a new rumor is anything to go by. When it was finally announced that PlayStation is back to showcase its future line-up, there was some hope (personally) that we’d finally get a good look at what the future of the Persona series looks like. After the sixth installment was a no-show during its 25th anniversary, it seemed like the perfect time to share it. Yet, it seems a new rumor is hinting at a different direction for Atlus’ reveal.

    Oddly enough, Resetera has become the main source for any future sight on what Persona fans can expect from the franchise, as not even Atlus has been willing to drop any real hints. Im A Hero Too, who previously shared that the Persona 3 Remake exists long before the first hint of it leaked online, has seemingly shared that we should expect a showcase of the game on June 11th, which is when the Xbox Showcase will take place.

    The “It’ll be Evoke-itive” is the big reveal that it’s P3 related. Of course, this isn’t a confirmation that we’ll definitely see something and they might still have a tease of some kind in the upcoming PlayStation Showcase. This move also would highlight Atlus’ strategy of going beyond its PlayStation roots, and it doesn’t mean that Persona 6, which is also seemingly in development for some kind, wouldn’t also be a PlayStation exclusive.

    It would be quite the double-hit with a first tease for the sixth installment as part of PlayStation’s showcase with a limited exclusive release similar to Final Fantasy VII Remake. In the meantime, they can keep fans happy on other consoles with a remake of Persona 3, which had the smallest amount of effort put into its remaster earlier this year. For now, it gives us at least a potential timeline on when we might expect something from this franchise for now.

  • New Report Claims ATLUS Has Worked on the ‘Persona 3’ Remake for “Several Years”

    New Report Claims ATLUS Has Worked on the ‘Persona 3’ Remake for “Several Years”

    The story surrounding Persona 3 has been quite an exciting one. Earlier this year, it kicked off with some random Reseterra rumor hinting at a remake of the iconic game. The irony was that ATLUS was just releasing a remaster of the PlayStation Portable version, Persona 3 Portable. Yet, given that it is a very basic version of the original, it made sense they’d want to modernize the game that kicked off the current version of the franchise.

    Just yesterday, we had two more hints at its existence. First off, supposed footage of a remake has found its way online from a potential earlier build back in 2021 that was used for an internal presentation. Not just that, but someone else noticed that a new website similar to P5R.jp and P5S.jp had been uncovered titled P3RE.jp. So, more and more hints were gathering about the existence of this game.

    Surprisingly, the news outlet Gematsu has also covered the recent leaks but went one step further. In a second tweet following the report that they “understand” the long-rumored Persona 3 remake has “been in development at ATLUS for several years.”

    While we cannot verify the footage itself, Gematsu understands that a Persona 3 remake has been in development at ATLUS for several years.

    While ATLUS still hasn’t given an official statement, it does seem more and more realistic that this remake is in development. Most rumors pointed to the project potentially releasing at some point this year, which definitely would be a nice way to get our Persona fix while we wait for any announcement for Persona 6. Here’s hoping there’s no additional delay for the future entry of the franchise due to the development time on this remake.

  • New Domain Registration Further Hints at ‘Persona 3’ Remake

    New Domain Registration Further Hints at ‘Persona 3’ Remake

    Looks like news and hints are piling on as of late. Earlier this year, we got our first rumor hinting at a future Persona 3 remake. It wasn’t too surprising if it had any validity given the project was voted as the top choice to get reworked by fans and there has been some concern over Atlus remastering the PlayStation Portable variant rather than tweaking the original Persona 3 FES release.

    Earlier today, some supposed footage had leaked from a 2021 internal meeting at Atlus. While only a rumor at the time, the footage included one of Persona 3‘s main characters in a new model alongside never-before-seen Sonic Frontiers footage including an enemy that was only featured in concept art but not in the final release. It doesn’t confirm it and is just a rumor but it still is a curious leak.

    Now, it seems another hint may have surfaced, as Twitter user @MbKKssTBhz5 has shared a new domain that has been registered in Japan. The title P3RE.JP doesn’t really give away what it is for but would match the naming that Atlus has given its other entries. The microsite for Persona 5 Royal is titled P5R.JP and would match this overall naming. Other titles haven’t received their own site to give a better comparison.

    https://twitter.com/MbKKssTBhz5/status/1645169046290149379

    It seems like the naming was set earlier this month in 2023, which could hint that they are preparing the site for an upcoming announcement. It’s not uncommon that these kinds of site registrations are renewed or done ahead of announcements, but with P3 and a “RE” hinting at Remake, perhaps there’s more to this rumor than we thought at first. It’s definitely something to keep a close eye on.

  • RUMOR: Possible Leaked Footage Offers First Look at Long-Rumored ‘Persona 3’ Remake

    RUMOR: Possible Leaked Footage Offers First Look at Long-Rumored ‘Persona 3’ Remake

    A Persona 3 remake has always been something fans of the Atlus franchise joked around about. Not only because technically there are three other Persona entries that have yet to receive much love since the PSP era but also due to the many rumors that have lit a little spark of hope throughout the years. Still, the concept of an actual remake with Persona 5‘s engine has picked up quite a bit of steam as of late with a new rumor sparking the conversation earlier this year and we may have even gotten our first look at the project.

    While not officially confirmed, user @AVtoGAMEnoYAMI has taken to Twitter and shared some footage of Yukari Takeba shooting her arrows at a shadow. Out of context, it looked like an impressive fan-made concept, especially as we don’t see her using an Evoker (the gun they point at themselves) and she also is seemingly using a bow from a Persona than something that was provided in the game. Plus, you don’t see the SEES armband either or any hint at the group.

    https://twitter.com/AVtoGAMEnoYAMI/status/1644990912328798208

    Yet, the animation looks well done, the background is definitely Tartarus, and with the many rumors, it just feels like a curious timing to leak. What adds weight to it potentially being real is the fact that an additional showcase included the long-rumored Jet Set Radio sequel and most notably Beta footage of Sonic Frontier with a boss that was only confirmed to exist in concept art and never made it into the final game.

    Supposedly this is footage that was shared initially 2021 during an internal meeting held in 2021, which would match with one of the earliest hints that Atlus might be working on trying to bring many of its iconic IPs back with remasters or remakes as first hints were given in 2020 of this new development (still waiting for Tales of Arcadia).

    There’s a chance that what we’re seeing above was just a pitch visual using some minimal visuals to showcase the idea of remastering the game or an early test build that didn’t include all details. Of course, it also still remains a mystery and hasn’t been given a DMCA by Sega since it leaked online which means it might not be true (though they also may not want to raise any flags by doing so either).

    For now, it’s just a rumor and if it turns out to be fan-made, it is extremely well done. Sadly the recent live stream that was hinted at in March was mostly about the Blu-ray release and an additional artbook from the stageplay inspired by the Persona series. So, who knows just how long we’ll have to wait for an actual game announcement but rumors pointed to Persona 3‘s remake hitting this year. So, all eyes will be on Summer Game Fest and whatever PlayStation stream is heading our way as some others believe reveals are “a ways off.”

  • Atlus Teasing “Exciting News” for ‘Persona’ Fans in Upcoming Livestream

    Atlus Teasing “Exciting News” for ‘Persona’ Fans in Upcoming Livestream

    There’s something funny about how Atlus loves using Persona concerts to announce projects. The thing is, there’s now a live stream announcement for the Blu-Ray release of the Persona Super Live performance, and also hinted at “exciting news” for the franchise to arrive during the broadcast. It’s a way to get people to check it out on April 9th but it raises the question of what exactly they might mean.

    Now, to temper expectations that are likely going to flare up as we’ve been desperate for any news on the rumored Persona 3 Remake and especially Persona 6. The 25th Anniversary also teased something one could describe as exciting going by early teases, but we ended up getting a bunch of merchandise as part of the announcements.

    Yes, we did get the remasters of Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax but they didn’t quite give us a hint at the future. Maybe this Blu-Ray release is a way to balance that out and add some big news at the tail-end of the showcase. It’s also their way of establishing their own little Nintendo Direct equivalent but we should not expect anything big for now.

  • Latest ‘Persona 6’ Rumor Hints at a Potential Delay

    Latest ‘Persona 6’ Rumor Hints at a Potential Delay

    The hunt for any news regarding Persona 6 continues. After a rather disappointing Persona 25th Anniversary, Atlus has been coy about the future of the franchise. To be fari, we did get re-releases of their three most popular entries on all consoles, but it’s been strange not to end such a milestone with the next major installment even if it is years away. Ever since our Persona 6 news has mostly relied on online rumors.

    If there is one thing we know about the Internet, it is the fact that the rumor mill never truly rests. User “Im A Hero Too” has returned once again to ResetEra to unveil more on what may or may not be happening behind the scenes as we’re still missing out on any hints regarding the franchise’s future.

    In it, they reveal that Persona 6 has “absolute zero chance” to release in 2023, but does hint that they have a rough timeframe even if the project may have been delayed internally. The reasoning according to him is that they are focusing either to release the rumored Persona 3 Remake (also first unveiled by this user) or another game. Though he hints there’s a chance we’ll see a teaser at Sony’s next showcase, which might not be until this summer.

    Going by this timeline, we may have at least one potential Persona game releasing this year, but that might be a bit strange they’ll fast-track the remake of 3 given they just released a remaster of the PSP version. So, perhaps that won’t release until next year either, and who knows when Persona 6 may hit modern consoles. Though, we have to still take these statements with a grain of salt as neither project has officially been announced as of now. For now, it just looks like the wait for an official update may take quite a bit longer.

  • RUMOR: Atlus May Reveal ‘Persona 5’ and ‘Persona 3 Remake’ This Summer

    RUMOR: Atlus May Reveal ‘Persona 5’ and ‘Persona 3 Remake’ This Summer

    The rumor mill surrounding the Persona franchise has been quite curious. The 25th anniversary fell flat for many fans due to the build-up potentially hinting at the confirmation of Persona 6 but no real news coming out of the event. Yes, we did get the remasters of Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and even Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, but it left many wondering what exactly the future looks like for the franchise.

    Then we got a surprise development with a new rumor hitting the web that we’re not only potentially getting a new mainline entry, but even a remake of Persona 3 in some form of development. It seems like an exciting time to be a fan of the franchise yet Atlus remains silent on any of its current projects. There have been hints that some of their initial plans for the 25th anniversary couldn’t come quite together as planned, but a new rumor is making the rounds that they’ll make up for it in 2023.

    Resetera isn’t the safest place for rumors, but the source is someone that has called the reveals from the anniversary and was the source behind the remake rumor. While no true details have been shared, they highlight that the Remake and Persona 6 are further down the production line with a potential summer reveal planned.

    They also highlight that they were originally set to be revealed at an earlier date but things shifted for one reason or another. Still, Atlus has not been shy to hint at “several” unannounced titles heading our way in 2023 which also adds at least some believability that something for the future Persona entries might be revealed sooner rather than later. There’s still hope that the green bucket in one of the anniversary images was a definite hint at the sixth entry.

  • RUMOR: ‘Persona 3’ May Receive a Modern Remake

    RUMOR: ‘Persona 3’ May Receive a Modern Remake

    2023 is looking like a crazy year for Persona fans. Just recently, Persona 5 Royal finally made its way to Nintendo Switch with remasters of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden already in some form of development. Yet, it seems that there’s one more project that may revive a Persona classic in a big way. Following a recent tease by Atlus on more unannounced titles heading our way in 2023, we’re kicking off the year with a rumor hinting at Persona 3 getting a complete remake for modern consoles.

    Keep in mind that this remains a rumor for now, but this would make for quite an interesting development. It also comes from the same source that correctly announced the remasters and even the return of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. We all assumed that Persona 6 is just around the corner for an announcement, but it would be quite something if they re-focused their efforts on modernizing the third entry in the franchise, one that would redefine its success and how future entries would be developed.

    The possibility of a remake for 3 also opens up the possibility for plans for the fourth receiving the same treatment. Of course, we don’t know just how far they’ll go with these new adaptations and if the rumor is true. After the growing success of the fifth entry worldwide, it’s not too surprising they want to bank on its success, but it does leave us wondering just what the future might look like for the series if they remained focused on previous entries rather than pushing forward with its next official title, especially since Persona 5 released back in 2016.
