Persona Speculations Fuel Job Listing Rumors

Atlus, renowned for its acclaimed Persona RPG series, has ignited speculation about Persona 6 with newly posted job openings on its recruitment site. The postings, as initially reported by Game*Spark, notably include a "Producer (Persona Team)" role. This position requires extensive experience in AAA game development and IP management, strongly suggesting a significant project is underway. Additional openings, while not explicitly linked to the Persona Team, include roles for a 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner, further bolstering the anticipation.

This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada regarding the company's plans to create new entries in the series. While no official Persona 6 announcement exists, the job postings strongly hint at Atlus' preparation for a major new title in the franchise.

The absence of a mainline Persona game for nearly eight years has fueled fervent fan speculation. While numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have bridged the gap, details about the next main installment remain scarce. Rumors circulating since 2019 suggested parallel development with titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The immense success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further strengthens the franchise's momentum and adds weight to the ongoing speculation. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been suggested, though this remains purely speculative. Regardless, an official announcement seems increasingly likely in the near future.
