Atlus's recent job postings hint at a new Persona game, fueling Persona 6 speculation. The company is actively recruiting for a Producer (Persona Team), seeking experience in AAA game development and IP management.
This recruitment drive, reported by Game*Spark, includes roles beyond the producer position, such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner. While not explicitly stated as Persona 6 roles, these postings, alongside previous comments from director Kazuhisa Wada about future Persona entries, suggest Atlus is actively developing a new mainline title.
With nearly eight years passing since Persona 5's release, fans eagerly await the next mainline installment. Numerous spin-offs and remakes have kept the franchise active, but details on Persona 6 remain scarce. Rumors, dating back to 2019, suggested parallel development with titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The immense success of P3R, selling over a million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum and supports the possibility of a 2025 or 2026 release for Persona 6.
While an official announcement is pending, the job postings strongly indicate Atlus is preparing for the next major chapter in the beloved Persona saga.
