Atlus, renowned for its acclaimed Persona RPG series, has ignited speculation about Persona 6 with recent job postings on its recruitment site. The company is actively searching for a new producer to spearhead the Persona team, according to a report by Game*Spark.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Rumors
The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a proven track record in AAA game development and IP management. Additional openings, not explicitly tied to the Persona team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
These postings follow comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada hinting at future series installments. While there's no official Persona 6 announcement, the recruitment drive strongly suggests Atlus is actively developing the next major title in this beloved RPG franchise.
With almost eight years passing since Persona 5's launch, fans eagerly await the next mainline entry. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, but details on the next core game remain scarce. Rumors dating back to 2019 suggested parallel development with titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The immense success of P3R, surpassing one million sales in its first week, underscores the series' enduring popularity. Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6, although the official timeline remains shrouded in mystery. An official announcement is, however, anticipated soon.
