Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page reveals openings crucial to a major game production, fueling fan excitement.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?
New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a producer for its Persona team. The listing emphasizes experience with AAA game development and IP management, strongly suggesting a significant project is underway. Additional postings for roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner further support this notion, although not explicitly tied to the "Persona Team."
Director Kazuhisa Wada's previous comments regarding future Persona installments add weight to the speculation. While no official announcement exists, the job postings strongly indicate Atlus's preparation for a major new title in the franchise.
With almost eight years since Persona 5's release, fans eagerly await the next mainline entry. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, but details on a new core game remain scarce. Rumors of Persona 6's development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R have circulated since 2019. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, underscores the series' enduring popularity and suggests Atlus is poised to capitalize on this momentum. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, and an official announcement seems increasingly likely.
