Atlus, creator of the renowned Persona RPG series, has posted new job openings on its recruitment site, igniting speculation about the next mainline installment: Persona 6.
Atlus Seeks Persona Producer Amid Persona 6 Rumors
Persona Project Producer Sought
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" position requires extensive experience in AAA game production and IP management. Additional openings, not specifically for the Persona team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.
This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada about the company's plans to develop new Persona titles. While there's no official Persona 6 announcement, these job postings suggest Atlus is actively preparing for its next major Persona release.
It's been almost eight years since Persona 5 launched. Fans have enjoyed numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports in the interim, but information on the next mainline game remains scarce. Hints of "Persona 6" have periodically surfaced in rumors and speculation.
Rumors from 2019 indicated that Persona 6 was in development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, suggesting a parallel development track. With P3R's remarkable sales success (over one million copies sold in its first week), the franchise's momentum is undeniable. A 2025 or 2026 release for Persona 6 has been suggested, though the timeframe remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is anticipated soon.
