Earlier today, Steam suffered an absolutely massive leak which revealed the achievements of several unreleased and unannounced games, disclosing key story details for a number of them. For example, someone at Square Enix probably fell to their knees as the entire Kingdom Hearts 4 world list leaked via these achievements.
Persona was also a series that was hit pretty hard by these leaks, with achievements for Persona 6 and the upcoming Persona 4 Revival both spreading online now. While you may think that achievements can't really spoil a game that is almost two decades old, it turns out this link may have revealed an exciting new addition to Persona 4 Revival that people have been clamoring for.
In Persona 4 Revival's achievements list, you'll find an achievement called "I Heart Inaba" with a description that reads "Helped Aika and Hanako in their search for the truth." For those that have only played the Persona 4 games, that name probably won't ring many bells, but for those that have watched the game's anime adaptation, you'll be more than familiar with Aika.
For those not in the know, Aika is the daughter of the owner of the beef bowl shop in Inaba, and also has a job as the shop's delivery driver. She was a specific creation of the anime, and very quickly became a fan favorite character due to her quirky personality. In Persona 4 Golden, she was referenced by the shop's owner, but was never actually added to the game.
Based on this achievement description, we now know that Aika will actually be a character you can interact with in Persona 4 Revival, and she'll seemingly have some kind of story involvement with Hanako. Of course, we can't glean exactly how she'll be implemented from achievement data alone, whether it be an NPC or a social link, but it's great to see that Aika will be making the jump from anime to game.
