Sega is mass deleting leaked screenshots and Persona 6 logo — apparently, they are real

The long wait for an official nod to Persona 6 has turned messy. Leaked materials started surfacing and Sega answered with a wave of copyright takedown notices aimed at major social networks. Short and sharp: lots of content disappeared.

It kicked off with character concept art — e.g., a blond guy in a school uniform and a girl with black-and-red hair. At first many assumed the images were AI-made. Then the same source posted what looks like a logo: a compact green "P6" mark. If true, that finally nails down the long-rumored green motif for the next entry.

Insiders later pointed fingers at a Chinese outsourced animation studio (i.e., the studio has reportedly been fined). Whether the leak was clumsy negligence or a messy chain of subcontracting, the financial hit has been mentioned in multiple whispers.

Sega's reaction added another layer: people who uploaded the logo and artwork started getting mass removal notices from the rights holder. To a lot of fans this heavy-handed cleanup reads less like damage control and more like an involuntary confirmation — a "soft" nod, if you will. Some call it deliberate PR-scrubbing; others call it standard legal housekeeping. Both views exist.

Most fans expect something official very soon — Summer Game Fest or the Xbox showcase are the usual suspects — though timing is speculative. Excitement is high, skepticism too. Which, frankly, makes the whole thing feel a little theatrical.
