Persona 6 Rumors Swirl as Mysterious Job Listing Emerges

Atlus's recent job postings on their recruitment site have ignited speculation about a potential Persona 6 announcement. The company, renowned for its acclaimed Persona RPG series, is actively recruiting for key roles.

Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Rumors

New Persona Project Underway?

(c) Atlus Game*Spark initially reported Atlus's search for a new producer to lead the Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced IP and AAA game development professional to oversee production and management. Additional postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also listed, though not explicitly tied to the "Persona Team."

This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada regarding the company's long-term plans for new Persona entries. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, these new job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major installment in the popular RPG franchise.

The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5 (released nearly eight years ago) has left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have bridged the gap, but details about a new mainline entry have been scarce. Hints and rumors of "Persona 6" have periodically surfaced.

Rumors circulating since 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The immense success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further solidifies the franchise's popularity. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, although the exact timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is widely anticipated.
