Atlus's recent job postings fuel Persona 6 speculation. The company is actively recruiting for a Producer (Persona Team), along with other key roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and Scenario Planner, as reported by Game*Spark.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada hinting at future Persona entries. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the new job listings strongly suggest Atlus is preparing for a major new installment in the franchise.
The wait for a mainline Persona game has been significant, nearing eight years since Persona 5's release. Numerous spin-offs and remasters have kept fans engaged, but the anticipation for Persona 6 remains high. Rumors, dating back to 2019, suggested concurrent development with 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 potential for a new flagship title. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, and an official announcement may be imminent.
