Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The iconic RPG developer's recruitment drive hints at the potential development of the next mainline entry.
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 new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced IP and AAA game development professional to manage the franchise's production. Additional postings, not explicitly for the Persona Team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada, who indicated that new Persona entries are part of the company's long-term plans. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, these job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for its next major Persona title.
With almost eight years having passed since Persona 5's release, fans have eagerly awaited the next mainline game. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have bridged the gap, but details on the next core game remain scarce. Hints and rumors regarding "Persona 6" have periodically surfaced.
Rumors from 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's strength and fuels speculation. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been suggested, although the timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is anticipated soon.
