Atlus's recent job postings on its recruitment site have ignited speculation about the next mainline Persona game, potentially Persona 6.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?
New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project
(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to join the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced IP and AAA game developer to manage the franchise's production. Additional postings, not explicitly for the Persona team, include roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This follows director Kazuhisa Wada's comments about future series entries. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job listings suggest Atlus is actively preparing for a significant new release.
With almost eight years since Persona 5's release, fans have enjoyed spin-offs, remakes, and ports, but a new mainline entry remains shrouded in mystery. Hints of Persona 6 have surfaced in rumors and speculation.
Rumors from 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. P3R's success, selling over one million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, though an official announcement remains eagerly anticipated.
