What to know

  • Nearly two-minute showreel depicting field, battle, and event scenes resembling a remade original Persona (Revelations: Persona) leaked via a renamed YouTube account before spreading to Reddit, X, and elsewhere.
  • Fans cite a shared Persona summon animation between Eriko and Persona 4 Revival's Yukiko, plus a persistent Unreal Engine watermark, as evidence the footage is genuine.
  • Sega and Atlus have not confirmed or denied the leak; some speculate it could be an internal investor pitch reel rather than final remake footage.
  • Atlus producer Kazuhisa Wada said in August 2026 that remaking Persona 1 and 2 is 'something we have to do,' but stopped short of confirming any project.

“Persona 1 leak looks credible, not sure why people are reporting Tatsuya is replacing Masao, that's just complete bogus. This is most likely an internal investor pitch for remakes of Persona 1 and 2, and not actually Persona 1.”
