Almost two minutes of footage depicting what looks like a remake of the original Persona game surfaced online via the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. The clip was uploaded to file-sharing platform Gofile on October 31 under a Japanese filename translating to "Megami Ibunroku Persona Remake," giving the project the apparent subtitle "Be Your True Mind." Atlus has not announced any remake of the title, leaving the video unverified. [1][2]
The shared video demonstrates dungeon exploration, dialogue sequences, stylish menus, and combat stylized similarly to modern releases like Persona 5 and Persona 3 Reload. Observant viewers noticed Unreal Engine debug text during battle scenes, a fresh remix of the original PlayStation release's Pandora theme, and the lead character designated as "Boy With Earring." Oddly, Tatsuya from Persona 2 also appears as a party member, raising questions about potential crossovers or cosmetic skin options. [1][2]
While fans speculate on the clip's authenticity, PC Gamer notes Atlus previously experienced leaks prior to the reveal of Persona 3 Reload. Series producer Kazuhisa Wada had also acknowledged remakes of earlier titles in August, remarking that "personally, I think it's something we should definitely do." [1]

Footage of what sure looks like a Persona 1 remake has leaked
Persona tragics have been begging for remakes of the first two games in the series for ages (at least, the ones who aren't begging for remakes of the PS2-era Shin Megami Tensei games instead). After thoroughly milking Persona 4 and 5, series producer Kazuhisa Wada said in August, "personally, I think it's something we should definitely do." Now, almost two minutes of footage from what sure looks like a Persona 1 remake has leaked via the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit.
