Atlus's recent job postings hint at a new Persona game, fueling Persona 6 speculation. The company is actively recruiting a producer for its Persona team, alongside other roles including 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada about future Persona installments. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job listings strongly suggest Atlus is preparing for a significant new release in the franchise.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's 2017 release (nearly eight years ago) has heightened anticipation. Numerous spin-offs and remasters have kept the franchise active, but the lack of concrete news on a new core entry has fueled persistent rumors.
Rumors from 2019 suggested simultaneous development of Persona 6 alongside other titles like Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload. The latter's impressive sales (over one million copies in its first week) further bolster the franchise's momentum. While a release date remains unconfirmed, speculation points towards a 2025 or 2026 launch window, and an official announcement could be imminent.
