Atlus's new job postings fuel Persona 6 anticipation! The company's recruitment page recently added several key positions, including a "Producer (Persona Team)," sparking widespread speculation about the next mainline Persona game.
As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively seeking a producer with AAA game and IP management experience. This, along with other openings for 2D character designers, UI designers, and scenario planners (though not all explicitly for the Persona team), strongly suggests significant new development.
Director Kazuhisa Wada previously hinted at new Persona entries in Atlus's long-term plans. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job listings significantly bolster the ongoing rumors.
The wait for a new mainline Persona game has been considerable—nearly eight years since Persona 5's release. While spin-offs and remasters have kept fans engaged, the lack of concrete news regarding the next mainline entry has fueled much speculation. Rumors from 2019 suggested simultaneous development alongside titles like Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload. With Persona 3 Reload's impressive one million sales in its first week, the franchise's momentum is undeniable. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been suggested, although an official announcement remains eagerly awaited.
