Atlus's recent job postings on its recruitment site have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's search for new talent suggests significant development is underway.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Speculation
New Persona Project in the Works?
(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's recruitment of a new producer for the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced IP and AAA game developer to manage the franchise's production. Additional postings, though not explicitly for the Persona team, included roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This hiring spree follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada about future series entries. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, the new job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major Persona title.
With almost eight years since Persona 5's launch, fans have enjoyed numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports. However, details on the next mainline game remain scarce. Rumors and hints of "Persona 6" have circulated, including speculation from 2019 that its development paralleled other recent releases like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further boosts the franchise's momentum. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been suggested, although the timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is likely imminent.
