Atlus's recent job postings have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's official recruitment page reveals openings crucial to a major game project, fueling fan excitement.

Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 Imminent?

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 listing emphasizes experience with AAA game production and IP management. Additional postings for roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner further suggest a significant project underway, though not explicitly tied to the "Persona Team" in the listings.

This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada hinting at future mainline Persona entries. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, the job postings strongly indicate Atlus is preparing for a major release in the franchise.

The absence of a mainline Persona game since Persona 5's 2017 release has left fans eager for news. Numerous spin-offs and remasters have kept the franchise active, but anticipation for a new mainline entry remains high. Rumors, including those from 2019, suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside other titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over a million copies in its first week, underscores the franchise's current strength and further supports speculation. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been suggested, but an official announcement is expected soon.
