Atlus's recent job postings have ignited fervent speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The renowned RPG developer's recruitment drive hints at the potential commencement of development for the next mainline Persona game.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?
New Persona Project Underway?
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a Producer for its Persona team. The listing emphasizes experience with AAA game production and IP management, strongly suggesting a significant new project. Additional postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner further bolster this speculation, though not explicitly tied to the "Persona Team."
This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada, who indicated future mainline Persona entries are in Atlus's long-term plans. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the job postings strongly suggest Atlus is preparing for a major new release in the popular RPG franchise.
The absence of a new mainline Persona game since Persona 5's release nearly eight years ago has left fans eagerly awaiting news. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, but the next mainline entry remains shrouded in mystery. Hints and rumors have periodically surfaced, fueling fan anticipation.
Rumors circulating since 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The exceptional success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, underscores the franchise's enduring popularity and strengthens the likelihood of a new mainline game. Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6. While no concrete timeline exists, an official announcement is widely anticipated.
