Due to a technical glitch in the Steam API, private achievement lists for some games became accessible to database tracking services. Among them was Persona 6, which has remained largely unrevealed since its June announcement at the Xbox presentation.
According to the leak, the main character will begin their adventure with a unique Persona named Dullahan, capable of achieving its true final form. Teenagers will join a special police unit called "Hex," which deals with paranormal incidents. The assistant in the Velvet Room will be the mysterious Wilhelmina, and the social link system will allow players to make up to 80 acquaintances with NPCs.
The setting will be Yokohama, a port city south of Tokyo. The game will bring back social stat development through part-time jobs, weapon upgrades, Persona fusion, and passing turns to allies in turn-based combat.
The state of the achievements may indicate that the game is nearing completion. However, rumors link the release to a period before the end of 2027, although Atlus will have to consider the release of the Persona 4 Revival remake.
