Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Speculation

The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a proven track record in AAA game development and IP management to oversee the franchise's production. Simultaneous postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner further hint at significant ongoing development.

These listings follow comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada regarding Atlus's plans for future Persona installments. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the recruitment drive strongly suggests active development of the next mainline entry.

With nearly eight years since Persona 5's release, fans eagerly await the next mainline title. While numerous spin-offs and remasters have bridged the gap, whispers of Persona 6 have circulated since 2019, often intertwined with the development of titles like Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Remaster. The phenomenal success of Persona 3 Remaster, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's enduring popularity. Speculation points towards a potential 2025 or 2026 release window, though an official announcement remains pending.
