Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Speculation
The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a strong background in AAA game development and IP management to oversee the franchise's production. Additional postings, though not explicitly linked to the Persona team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner. These additions further bolster the anticipation surrounding a potential Persona 6.
This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada, hinting at future series installments in Atlus' mid-to-long-term plans. While no official announcement regarding Persona 6 has been made, the recent job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major entry in the beloved RPG franchise.
With nearly eight years having passed since Persona 5's release, fans have eagerly awaited news of the next mainline title. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have bridged the gap, concrete information about Persona 6 has remained elusive. Rumors dating back to 2019 suggested concurrent development with titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum and fuels speculation about a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6. Although the timeline remains unconfirmed, an official announcement is widely anticipated.
