Persona Job Listing Heats Up Anticipated Persona 6 Speculation

Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page now features several key openings, fueling fan excitement.

Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?

New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project

(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to join the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing requires extensive IP and AAA game development experience to manage franchise production. Additional postings, though not explicitly for the "Persona Team," include roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.

Director Kazuhisa Wada previously hinted at future series entries in Atlus's long-term plans. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, these job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively developing its next major Persona title.

The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's release nearly eight years ago has left fans eager for news. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have been released, details about the next mainline entry remain scarce. Rumors and teases have periodically surfaced, adding to the anticipation.

Speculation intensified in 2019, suggesting parallel development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's enduring popularity. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, although the timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is widely anticipated.
