The Weeknd Posts Persona 3 Reload Romance With Mitsuru After Earlier Persona 5 Fumble

1 articles · Updated · Kotaku · Jul 6

The Weeknd shared an Instagram photo showing he romanced Mitsuru Kirijo in Persona 3 Reload, giving fans a new update on his playthrough.
The post lands after Abel Tesfaye drew attention earlier in 2026 for fumbling Tae Takemi during a documented Persona 5 run, turning the Mitsuru route into a small redemption arc.
Persona 3 Reload is the modern remake of the PS2 game that established the series’ social-link dating format, making the romance choice a notable part of his run.
Tesfaye’s growing interest in Atlus’ RPG series has already earned him early access to Persona 4 Revival and a preview of Persona 6 before its Summer Game Fest reveal.
