[[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) ## What the leak contains The leaked footage includes a story scene, and it is already drawing scrutiny from Persona fans who want a look at the next remake. [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) The legitimacy of the footage has been questioned. [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) The alleged trailer was highlighted by Redditor Dastanovich on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) It appears to have originally been posted on gofile by an unknown user. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) ## What the trailer shows The trailer suggests the remake will follow the more modern Persona entries while keeping the darker atmosphere of the original game. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) Its combat is very similar to recent remakes and Persona 5. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) It also includes a brief social link cutscene with a more distinct, almost graphic novel art style. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) Twitter user SkyRaiderG7 pointed out that the UI elements of the first two games have clearly been adapted for a new style. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) ## Signs for and against Unreal Engine codes appear repeatedly in the top left corner of the footage. [[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) They come from a developer's tool that shows the engine is actively running. [[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) The footage also reuses some animations from Persona 4 Revival, a game that has not yet been released. [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) ## How we got here Persona 3 Reload footage has leaked before, after being intended for a Sega Japan internal meeting in 2021. [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) Old Persona 3 Reload footage also leaked alongside other SEGA titles that were releasing. [[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) Persona 3 Reload kicked off the remake efforts two years ago, and Persona 4 Revival is set to follow in a few months. [[2]](https://www.thegamer.com/persona-1-remake-trailer-seemingly-leaks-persona-5-style/) ## What it means for you If you are waiting on a first-game remake, treat this trailer as alleged, because its legitimacy has been questioned. [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) The Unreal Engine codes and the reused Persona 4 Revival animations are the details to weigh. [[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) [[1]](https://personacentral.com/p1-remake-footage/) If you want a Persona game to play today, Persona 4 Golden can currently be bought and played on Steam. [[3]](https://www.dualshockers.com/persona-remake-footage-looks-too-good-to-be-real/) Atlus is also working on another original Persona title, P6.
