Achievement lists for over 40 unreleased games — including Persona 6 — surfaced on achievement-tracking site Exophase on 8 September, after what its owner described to Gematsu as “a possible screw up on Valve’s end” that made private Steam achievement data accessible through the API. The information has not been officially confirmed by Atlus or SEGA, and the data may change before release — but it paints the clearest picture yet of what Persona 6 will look like.
Yokohama Setting and a Vigilante Group Called “Hex”
The leaked achievements confirm Yokohama as Persona 6’s setting — a departure from the series’ Tokyo roots (Persona 3–5) and the rural Inaba of Persona 4. Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city and a port town with a distinct cosmopolitan identity, reportedly offers “a more laidback experience” than previous entries.
Players join Hex, a vigilante investigation organisation, and take on “Wanted Shadows” on behalf of a character named Wilhelmina. The mechanics echo Persona 5’s Phantom Thieves in spirit, but framed around detective work and law-enforcement rather than heists. Achievement titles reference “arresting” perpetrators and holding “investigation meetings” to connect clues — suggesting a procedural mystery structure running alongside the dungeon-crawling.

80+ “Connections” — Social Links Scale Up Massively
The Social Link system, renamed Connections in Persona 6, will let players build relationships with more than 80 people — a dramatic jump from Persona 5’s 23 Confidants or Persona 4’s 22 Social Links. The major and minor arcana structure returns, as do romantic relationships. Whether Atlus can make 80+ bonds feel meaningful rather than thin is one of the game’s big open questions heading into its eventual reveal.
New Combat Systems: Spirit Crystallization and Bloodstruck Skills
On the battle side, leaked achievement names reference two new systems: Spirit Crystallization and Bloodstruck Skills. Details remain thin for now, but these suggest an evolution of Persona 5’s Baton Pass and One More chain rather than a wholesale replacement. Six dungeon names also surfaced — Justiceopolis, Reverie Dreamland, Hellrite Stage, Craveheart Tower, Yama’s Ledger, and Enlightenment Factory — hinting at a thematic variety that fits the investigation hook. The Velvet Room, Persona fusions, part-time jobs, studying, and mini-games are all confirmed to return.
Note: some leaked achievement names and descriptions reveal late-game story beats. We have steered clear of those here — if you prefer a clean playthrough, it may be worth avoiding the full Exophase listing.
Persona 4 Revival, Kingdom Hearts IV on PC, and More
The Exophase data sweep caught more than just Persona 6. Other significant finds include:
- Persona 4 Revival — confirmed to be in active development, with its own achievement list surfacing alongside P6
- Kingdom Hearts IV — confirmed for Steam/PC, welcome news for Singapore fans who game on PC
- Ace Combat 8, Silent Hill: Townfall, Mega Man: Dual Override, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer among the dozens of titles in the leak
Neither Atlus, SEGA, Square Enix, nor Valve had issued statements at time of publication. Treat every detail here as likely but unconfirmed until Atlus makes it official. Persona 6 is confirmed for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC — all platforms available to Singapore gamers — with no release window announced. Stay with our game news section as more surfaces.
