Video game leaker Extas1s has published a post on X claiming that the long-awaited next Persona game from Atlus is already feature complete. While he says Persona 6 is currently feature complete the game isn’t set to launch anytime soon and it is delayed internally until 2027. Extas1s speculates that Persona 6 could be showcased at the Xbox Showcase next month or at The Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards. Here’s what Extas1s had to say via machine translation.
The development of Persona 6 is practically finished, but you won’t be playing it anytime soon. A new leak from Asian forums (Xiaohongshu) has just revealed Atlus’ internal plans. The 3 key details from the leak:
Status: The game is at a “feature complete” stage (basically finished).
Release: Internally delayed until 2027.
Protagonists (Duality): The designs for both have been confirmed. The female protagonist will have black and red hair; the male protagonist will be blond. With that release window, it wouldn’t be surprising if it’s shown for the first time at the Xbox Showcase or at The Game Awards/Summer Game Fest.
To give context to the source: the Xiaohongshu network has been the epicenter of accurate SEGA and Atlus leaks in the past due to outsourced art and testing work in Asia. The fact that they already know the hair colors indicates that promotional artwork is already circulating internally.

Devil May Cry creator and all round legendary developer, Hideki Kamiya, has revealed how the original Devil May Cry game started out as a Resident Evil game for Capcom. Kamiya says that Devil May Cry started with a mandate of creating a new Resident Evil game, as the series popularity spiked worldwide. He said that during the game’s development the team kept coming up with “all sorts of new concepts and things we wanted to build on” and eventually the project split from the Resident Evil series and turned into the acclaimed Devil May Cry which released in 2001 on the PlayStation 2.
“A lot of people know the story behind “Devil May Cry” (2001), but that one started off as a mandate to create another entry for ‘Resident Evil’ due to how popular it was internationally.
‘Resident Evil’ was a game for the original PlayStation, but the next game was going to be on the PlayStation 2, so we started coming up with all sorts of new concepts and things we wanted to build on, and that eventually morphed into ‘Devil May Cry.’”
