Online leaks have revealed gameplay from a purported remake of Persona 3. The PlayStation 2 version of Persona 3, a highly regarded JRPG, has now been released on a variety of other systems by the game’s developer, Atlus.
Persona 3 is available in several variants, primarily Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable, each having its own set of advantages and disadvantages. For instance, Persona 3 Portable gives players more control over how the battle unfolds by letting them command their party members during combat.
However, as players control a dot rather than the main character outside of dungeons, it lacks complete 3D movement. Fans have been requesting a complete remake of Persona 3 for a while now because each version has different strengths and flaws, and it appears that their prayers may have been heard.
According to TheGamer, Yukari Takeba from Persona 3 may be seen shooting an enemy with a string of arrows in the brief film, which was first posted by aikaangelica on Twitter. Later, the same account notes that the tape appears to be from a SEGA Japan internal meeting in 2021.
Although the video appears to be of great quality and resembles Persona 5’s animation and visual effects in some areas, there is always a chance that it was made by a fan. In light of this, players should be skeptical of any rumors or leaks and instead wait for a formal announcement from the publisher or developer.
UPDATE: Special thanks to anonymous user DM for this!! So it seems this was part of footage from SEGAs Japan’s Internal meeting held in 2021… The Japanese characters on top rights reads “Footage in development” pic.twitter.com/5sW13O1kyQ

Persona 3 remake rumors have been going around for a while, but Atlus hasn’t provided any information on the subject. Sony recently held several special events to commemorate the Persona series’ 25th anniversary, but nothing about a remake of Persona 3 came out of this occasion.
It may have been the ideal time to reveal this eagerly anticipated title, but fans shouldn’t discount these speculations just yet. Despite Persona 3 Portable’s January 2023 release on contemporary platforms, an insider has claimed that a Persona 3 remake is real.

The leaker claimed that by doing this, Atlus will be able to sell Persona 3’s portable edition before releasing a full-fledged remake, presumably with all the new gameplay elements and quality-of-life enhancements seen in Persona 5 Royal.
It will be interesting to see when and how Atlus decides to announce this game, assuming that these reports are accurate.
