A trailer for a remake of the original Persona appears to have leaked

Persona fans may have had an early look at the next remake. VGC reports that a new YouTube account has posted a montage that appears to show a remake of the original Persona, with gameplay, combat and dialogue scenes

The footage looks similar in style to the recent Persona 3 and Persona 4 remakes, with an updated interface and remixed music from the original game

Neither Sega nor Atlus has confirmed anything. VGC notes the video could be AI generated, and fans are split on whether it shows real gameplay or an internal pitch video

In August, Persona 4 Revival producer Kazuhisa Wada told Gamer Braves that he could not say for sure, but that he thought they had to do it. Revelations: Persona first came out on the PS1 in 1996 and on PSP in 2009, while Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment were also ported to PSP

A remake of the first Persona would complete a set after the successful remakes of Persona 3 and 4. The original is quite rough by modern standards, so a modern version could introduce it to many new players. Until Atlus confirms it, though, caution is wise

Would you play a remake of the original Persona? And do you think the footage is real?

Persona 2 deserves a remake even more. Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment have brilliant stories. Hopefully the first remake leads to those. The whole series deserves modern versions

An internal pitch video leaking is possible too. Companies make those before projects are approved

It could be real but not final. Pitch videos leak more often than people think

[DarkKnight66]

Wada saying they have to do it sounds like a strong hint. Atlus has been remaking the series in order. The first game is the logical next step. I would be surprised if it was not coming. Modern quality of life features would transform it

AI generated fakes are getting convincing. A few years ago this would have been obviously real
Now everything needs checking. Deepfakes have made leaks harder to trust

Atlus is usually tight lipped until it is ready. A reveal at a showcase seems likely if it is real. The Game Awards are not far away. Persona anniversary celebrations have been running all year

A big reveal would fit neatly. Fans are ready

Persona's first game is hard to go back to now. Dungeons are clunky and the pacing is slow. A modern remake would be a gift

Remixed music from the original would be lovely. Shoji Meguro's soundtracks are always a highlight. Fans will be listening closely. Atlus has been on a roll with remakes. Persona 3 Reload sold extremely well
