Atlus West announced both Persona 3 Reload (the long-rumored Persona 3 remake) and turn-based tactics RPG Persona 5 Tactica on its Instagram account today… but, considering that both posts were deleted after about 20 minutes and that the timing was pretty unusual, we can guess that they didn’t mean to do that.
Despite the fact that both are now wiped from the account, fans were quick to not only grab screenshots, but the trailers for both.
Per the posts (which were spotted by IGN before they were deleted), Persona 5 Tactica will debut on Nov. 17, 2023, and Persona 3 Reload will arrive in early 2024.
The announcement also revealed that they’ll be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, and both will apparently be available day one on Game Pass. They could be available on other consoles that haven’t been announced yet. It’s likely they were meant to be announced at this Sunday’s Xbox Showcase.

The news of a remake of Persona 3 has long been speculated, especially after a sizzle reel featuring it seemed to have leaked back in April. The leaked trailer today showed off brief shots of gameplay and some iconic cutscenes from the original, with the visual style of Persona 5.
Persona 3 was first released on the PS2 in 2006, getting an enhanced re-release in 2009 on the PlayStation Portable.

Spinoff Persona 5 Tactica, meanwhile, appears to be a grid-based take on the series similar to Fire Emblem or XCOM.
IGN has reached out to Sega for comment on the leaks.
