Few JRPGs see the widespread praise that the Persona franchise gets. With this franchise on so many platforms in 2023, Atlus‘ titles are more popular than ever. It’s no surprise, then, that fans are clamoring for more information on the franchise. Lucky for those fans, an inattentive employee from Atlus West provided for them.

In a leak from the Xbox Games Showcase slated for June 11, 2023, Atlus West shared a full trailer for Persona 3 Reload, a remake of Persona 3, on the company’s Instagram page. The team took the trailer down shortly after posting. It was too little too late, though. Fans captured and exported the video to Twitter, where fans are having a field day, like ScrambledFaz.
Moreover, Persona 3 Reload wasn’t the only game Atlus West leaked, with a video for Persona 5 Tactica also appearing on the official Atlus West Instagram page. Within minutes, the video for this title was also up on Twitter.
Even without the videos, there are screenshots showing the trailers on Atlus’ Instagram account. UltimaShadowX caught the next shot before the company realized their blunder.
We’re sure someone at Atlus West is in a lot of trouble right now, but hopefully, this all blows over for them after the Xbox conference on June 11.
