Footage of what sure looks like a Persona 1 remake has leaked

Persona fans have been clamoring for remakes of the first two games in the series for years (at least, those not demanding remakes of the PS2-era Shin Megami Tensei titles). In August, series producer Kazuhisa Wada stated that a Persona 1 remake, personally, he thinks it's something we should definitely do.

Now, a two-minute clip from what appears to be a Persona 1 remake has leaked on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. The footage showcases dungeon exploration, typical flashy combat, and a dialogue scene all presented in the modern Persona style. Interestingly, Tatsuya from Persona 2 is included among the party members, though it is possible this could be a cross-promotional skin to equip or a sign that the remakes might include a crossover similar to Persona Q.

While it is understandable to question whether this could be AI-generated footage, the clip seems long enough and internally consistent to rule that out. Additionally, Atlus has a track record of confirming leaks, as evidenced by the real Persona 3 remake announcement.
