Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page now features openings suggesting active development on the next mainline entry in the popular RPG series.
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 recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing requires AAA game and IP experience to manage and oversee franchise production. Additional postings, not specifically designated for the Persona team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada hinting at future mainline Persona titles in Atlus's long-term plans. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, these job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major installment.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's release nearly eight years ago has fueled considerable fan anticipation. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have been released, concrete information on the next mainline game remains scarce. However, hints and rumors have periodically surfaced.
Rumors circulating since 2019 indicated simultaneous development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, hinting at a parallel development process. The exceptional success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's enduring popularity. Speculation points towards a possible 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6. Although the timeline remains unconfirmed, an official announcement seems imminent.
