Atlus, the creators of the acclaimed Persona RPG series, recently updated their recruitment page with new job listings, igniting speculation about the next mainline installment: Persona 6.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer Amid Persona 6 Speculation
Unannounced Persona Game and Project
As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for their Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a strong background in IP and AAA game development to oversee production and management of the franchise. Additional listings, not specifically designated for the Persona Team, include roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and Scenario Planner.
This news follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada, who hinted at new series entries in Atlus's mid-to-long-term plans. While a Persona 6 announcement remains official, these new job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major release in this beloved RPG franchise.
It's been almost eight years since Persona 5's release. While fans have enjoyed numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports, details about the next mainline entry remain scarce. Hints of "Persona 6" have periodically surfaced through rumors and speculation.
Rumors circulating since 2019 suggested parallel development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, fueling speculation about an ongoing major project. With P3R achieving remarkable success, selling over one million copies in its first week and becoming one of the fastest-selling entries in the series' history, the franchise's momentum is undeniable. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, although the timeline remains unconfirmed. However, an official announcement seems increasingly likely.
