Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page features several new openings, fueling fan excitement.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?
New Roles for the Persona Team
(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to join the Persona development team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing requires AAA game and IP experience, focusing on franchise production and management. Additional postings, though not explicitly for the "Persona Team," include roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
Director Kazuhisa Wada's previous comments about future Persona entries further support this speculation. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next mainline installment.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5 (released nearly eight years ago) has left fans eager for news. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, but details regarding the next major entry remain scarce.
Rumors, dating back to 2019, hinted at simultaneous development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, demonstrates the franchise's enduring popularity. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, although the timeline is unconfirmed. An official announcement is anticipated soon.
