Atlus's recent job postings on their recruitment page have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's search for a new producer fuels this excitement.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?
New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a "Producer (Persona Team)." The listing seeks an experienced individual with AAA game and IP management expertise to oversee the franchise's future projects. Additional postings for roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also noted, though not specifically tied to the "Persona Team."
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada about the company's plans to develop new Persona titles. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major installment.
With almost eight years since Persona 5's launch, fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry. Numerous spin-offs and remakes have bridged the gap, but details about the next core game remain scarce. Rumors, including suggestions of simultaneous Persona 6 development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, have circulated since 2019. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further bolsters the franchise's momentum. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been speculated, although an official announcement is still pending. However, given the current circumstances, a formal reveal seems increasingly likely.
