Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?

New Producer Role for Persona Team

(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The advertised role, "Producer (Persona Team)," requires extensive experience in AAA game production and IP management. While not explicitly stated as "Persona 6" related, additional postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner further fuel speculation.

This recruitment follows previous statements by game director Kazuhisa Wada, who indicated Atlus's long-term plans include new Persona titles. Although Persona 6 remains unannounced, these job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for a major new installment in the franchise.

It's been almost eight years since Persona 5's release. While fans have enjoyed numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports, information on the next mainline game has been scarce. Hints and rumors regarding "Persona 6" have periodically surfaced.

Rumors circulating since 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The exceptional success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's momentum. Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6. Although the timeline remains unclear, an official announcement seems imminent.
