Atlus, the developer behind the acclaimed Persona RPG series, has updated its official recruitment page with new positions, fueling speculation about the potential development of Persona 6.
Atlus Seeks Producer for Persona Team Amid Persona 6 Rumors
Unspecified Persona Projects
As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is recruiting a new producer for its Persona development team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" position requires experience with IP and AAA game development to oversee production management. Additional openings include 2D character designer, UI designer, and Scenario Planner roles, though these aren't specifically marked for the Persona Team.
This recruitment follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada about Atlus' plans for future series entries. While Persona 6 hasn't been officially announced, these job postings suggest preparation for the franchise's next major installment.
Nearly eight years after Persona 5's release, fans have received numerous spin-offs and remakes but minimal information about the next mainline entry. Hints about Persona 6 have circulated since 2019, with rumors suggesting concurrent development alongside recent releases like Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload.
Following Persona 3 Reload's record-breaking sales (1 million copies in its first week), the franchise's momentum suggests an opportune time for the next major release. Industry speculation points to a potential 2025-2026 window for Persona 6, though no official timeline exists. With these new developments, an official announcement may be forthcoming.
