Images allegedly showing leaked Persona 6 characters and logos appeared on social media last week, sparking excitement among fans of the franchise [1, 2]. The leaked visuals featured a blond-haired boy in a school uniform, a girl with black and red hair, and a green circular "P6" logo, all consistent with typical Persona design elements [1]. Several noted Persona leakers reportedly verified the images as legitimate, suggesting they may have originated from an outsourced animation team working on the title [1].
Following the initial leaks, additional images showing a clearer version of the Persona 6 logo surfaced this week, prompting Sega to issue copyright takedown claims [1]. These claims led to the images’ removal across social media platforms. Videos sharing the leaks on platforms such as YouTube also received copyright takedown orders, indicating Sega’s efforts to control the spread of the material [2].
One social media user, X/Twitter user Dkmariolink, posted that they had received a DMCA takedown request from Sega, stating, "Got a DMCA takedown request by Sega. Not posting it again, but if you know, you know" [1].
The original Persona 5 game launched 10 years ago in 2016 and has since seen several spin-offs and re-releases, including Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Revival on Xbox Game Pass [1, 2]. Xbox announced that Persona 5: Royal would arrive on Xbox Game Pass on June 9, 2023 [1].
Attention now turns to the upcoming Summer Game Fest and Xbox Games Showcase livestreams on June 7, 2023, where industry watchers expect Sega or Atlus to officially reveal Persona 6 or provide more details about the game [1, 2]. These events will be the first major opportunity to confirm the leaks and provide further information on the next installment in the Persona series.
