Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?
New Producer Sought for Unnamed Persona Project
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with AAA game and IP management expertise. Additional postings, while not specifically for the Persona team, include roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner, further fueling the speculation.
This recruitment follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada indicating Atlus's plans for future Persona titles. Although Persona 6 remains unannounced, the job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively developing its next major Persona game.
It's been almost eight years since Persona 5's release. While fans have enjoyed spin-offs, remakes, and ports, details about the next mainline entry remain scarce. Hints and rumors regarding Persona 6 have periodically surfaced.
Rumors from 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. With P3R's impressive sales (over one million copies in its first week), the franchise's momentum is undeniable. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, though the timeline remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is expected soon.
