  • Quick Answer: ATLUS confirmed their systems were illegally accessed, resulting in the Persona 6 leaks, but stated it will not impact the ongoing development of the game.

For weeks, the internet has been plagued by supposed Persona 6 leaks.

From China's Red Note to Twitter (or X if you prefer), supposed screenshots of logos, characters, and even the supposed release date of the upcoming Persona 6 game were leaked online. Sega was quick to file copyright strikes against leakers, all but confirming the leaks are true.

Now, ATLUS has released a statement regarding the leaks. Out of respect for the devs behind the game, this piece will not include any of the supposed leaks.

While this will not affect the development of the upcoming Persona title, they expressed disappointment that details of the game were shared with players in such a way. Despite that, they promise to continue working on the next Persona game and are determined to exceed player expectations.

ATLUS will update players soon and will introduce the game to fans when they are ready.
