Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company, renowned for its Persona RPG series, is actively recruiting for key roles, fueling fan excitement.
(c) Atlus Game*Spark reported that Atlus is searching for a new producer to lead the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing requires extensive AAA game and IP experience to manage production and franchise oversight. Additional listings for 2D character designers, UI designers, and scenario planners were also posted, though not explicitly tied to the Persona team.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada about future series installments. Although Persona 6 remains unannounced, the new job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively developing its next major Persona title.
The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5 (released almost eight years ago) has left fans eagerly awaiting news. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have bridged the gap, details about the next mainline entry remain scarce. Whispers of Persona 6 have circulated since 2019, suggesting concurrent development with titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. With P3R's phenomenal sales (over one million copies in its first week), the franchise's momentum is undeniable. A 2025 or 2026 release window is speculated, and an official announcement may be imminent.
