Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?

New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project

(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to join the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a proven track record in AAA game production and IP management. While not explicitly stated as "Persona 6" related, additional openings for roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also posted, further fueling the speculation.

This recruitment follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada, who alluded to future mainline Persona entries in the company's long-term plans. Although Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, these job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively developing the next major title in the franchise.

The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's release nearly eight years ago has left fans eager for news. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have been released, details regarding the next mainline entry remain scarce. Rumors, some dating back to 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, underscores the franchise's enduring popularity. Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6, though the timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is, however, anticipated soon.
