Atlus's recent job postings hint at a new Persona game, fueling Persona 6 speculation. The company is actively recruiting for a Producer (Persona Team), along with other key roles including 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada about future Persona installments. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the job postings strongly suggest Atlus is preparing for a major new release.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5 (nearly eight years ago) has left fans eager for news. Numerous spin-offs and remakes have bridged the gap, but the anticipation for a new core entry is high. Rumors, dating back to 2019, suggested simultaneous development of Persona 6 alongside other titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over a million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum.
Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release for Persona 6. Although the timeframe remains unconfirmed, an official announcement seems imminent.
