Atlus's recent job postings fuel Persona 6 anticipation. The company's recruitment page features a "Producer (Persona Team)" role, seeking an experienced individual to manage the franchise's production and oversee AAA game development. This, along with other openings for 2D character designers, UI designers, and scenario planners, hints at a significant project underway.
Game*Spark initially reported the news, adding weight to previous statements by game director Kazuhisa Wada about Atlus's plans for future Persona installments. While an official Persona 6 announcement remains absent, the job listings strongly suggest active development.
The absence of a new mainline Persona game since Persona 5's 2017 release (almost eight years ago) has left fans eagerly awaiting news. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, but the lack of concrete information regarding a sequel has fueled speculation.
Rumors dating back to 2019 hinted at concurrent Persona 6 development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum and suggests a significant project is underway. While a 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, a formal announcement is anticipated soon.
