Atlus's recent job postings hint at a new Persona game, fueling Persona 6 speculation. The company is actively recruiting a producer for the Persona team, along with other key roles including 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada about future Persona entries. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the new job listings strongly suggest Atlus is preparing for a major new release in the franchise.
The silence surrounding a new mainline Persona game has lasted nearly eight years since Persona 5's release. Numerous spin-offs and remasters have kept the franchise active, but details on the next core entry remain scarce. Rumors dating back to 2019 hinted at concurrent development with other titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The immense success of P3R, selling over a million copies quickly, further bolsters the anticipation for a new mainline game. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, and an official announcement seems imminent.
