We at NerdLeaks are watching an intriguing development in the ongoing drip of Persona-related leaks: Persona 6 concept material that was spreading on social media has reportedly been removed after a copyright claim, and SEGA appears to be the party behind the takedown, according to Push Square. If true, the removal strengthens the case that the images were genuine — but take this with a pinch of salt.
What Was Reported
Per Push Square, additional leaked images relating to Persona 6 were shared on X (Twitter) by user @TheDkmariolink. The pictures were allegedly removed within 48 hours or so due to a copyright claim, which is being read as indirect confirmation of their authenticity.
The leaked material reportedly included two internal design documents:
- A green Persona 6 logo stylised as P6
- A new drawing of the leaked protagonist design that follows concept art circulated the week prior
These images arrive on the heels of the concept art leaks from last week, and Push Square says the new takedown potentially validates those earlier images as well.
The Source & Credibility
Push Square is the outlet reporting the takedown and the social post by @TheDkmariolink. The central credibility point pushed by Push Square is the copyright claim and rapid removal of the images — a procedural action that often suggests the content may have originated from an internal or otherwise controlled asset.
Why The Takedown Matters
- The images were removed after a copyright claim, which Push Square interprets as weight in favour of authenticity.
- The leaked files reportedly contained internal design elements rather than fan edits or mock-ups, including a stylised P6 logo and a protagonist drawing linked to earlier leaks.
- That said, removal alone is not ironclad proof — security teams sometimes act on false positives or cautious legal requests. So, take this with a pinch of salt.
What It Could Mean
If the takedown is a genuine enforcement action by SEGA, it would make the recent leaks harder to dismiss as fabrications. Push Square connects the dots and suggests that, should these new images be legitimate, last week’s concept art leaks were likely accurate too. That scenario raises questions about how much of Persona 6 might leak before an official reveal.
However, Push Square also offered a note of scepticism: they said they "don't quite buy the idea" that the leaks will lead to an immediate announcement. Push Square reasons that Persona 4 Revival is "almost guaranteed to be shown during this weekend's Xbox Games Showcase," and it would be odd for Atlus to undercut that remake's momentum by announcing Persona 6 at the same time. If Persona 4 Revival is released later, Push Square suggests, then "it's open season" for a possible Persona 6 reveal.
In short: the takedown could be a sign leaks are real, but whether that forces an early reveal or simply compresses the marketing timeline remains uncertain.
Why This Matters
For fans of the series, any evidence that Persona 6 assets are real is big news — even if it only confirms that something is in active development. A copyright takedown is a procedural breadcrumb that often convinces the community that leaked art is more than speculation, and the circulation of internal design documents raises stakes for publisher and developer alike.
That said, we must remain cautious. Copyright claims and removals are part of how companies control their IP, but they do not always equate to a planned announcement. As Push Square pointed out, publisher and developer strategies around other projects — notably Persona 4 Revival and its presence at the Xbox Games Showcase — could influence when and how Atlus and SEGA choose to respond to these leaks.
We’ll keep monitoring this closely. For now, the takedown is a notable data point: allegedly authentic art, a stylised green P6 logo, and a new protagonist drawing — all reportedly swept up by a copyright claim within 48 hours. If true, it makes the Persona 6 rumor mill a lot harder to ignore.
