It's been a shockingly busy few days for Persona fans. In case you missed it, supposedly leaked Persona 3 Remake gameplay footage went viral across the likes of Reddit and social media. The incredibly short clip shows party member Yukari summoning her persona and unleashing a flurry of magical arrows — and generally speaking, the animation and model quality looks good enough for it to be a legitimate leak.
Naturally, this footage has sparked a whole lot of debate regarding the rumoured remake. Previous rumours have all stemmed from industry 'insiders' — the classic «trust me bro» approach — making them difficult to fully believe.
However, with the 'leak' blowing up across the web, proven, reliable sources have started to weigh in. Gematsu is one such source, stating on Twitter: «While we cannot verify the footage itself, Gematsu understands that a Persona 3 remake has been in development at Atlus for several years.» If Gematsu says it's actually happening, then it probably is.
And then it gets even juicer. Twitter user @MbKKssTBhz5 caught a recently registered website domain named p3re.jp — and it's listed under the same provider as the official Persona 5 Royal site.
In short, it's extremely likely that Persona 3 Remake is the real deal. Now, it's just a question of when it'll be announced — and for what platforms.
