Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page features several new openings, adding fuel to the fire.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?
New Producer Role Hints at Major Project
(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to join the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing requires AAA game and IP experience, suggesting a significant project. Additional postings, while not explicitly for the Persona team, include roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner, further hinting at a large-scale undertaking.
Director Kazuhisa Wada's previous comments about future Persona entries support this. Although Persona 6 remains unannounced, the job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next mainline installment.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's release nearly eight years ago has left fans eager for news. While numerous spin-offs and remasters have bridged the gap, details regarding a new main entry remain scarce. Rumors, however, persist.
Speculation about Persona 6's development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R has circulated since 2019. P3R's remarkable sales success, exceeding one million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum and fuels anticipation for a potential 2025 or 2026 release window. While the timeline is unconfirmed, an official announcement seems increasingly likely.
