Atlus's recent job postings on its recruitment page have ignited speculation about the highly anticipated Persona 6. The company's search for new talent strongly suggests the next mainline installment is in the works.

Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Persona 6 on the Horizon?

New Roles for the Persona Team

(c) Atlus Game*Spark reported that Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced professional in AAA game and IP development to manage production. Additional postings, though not explicitly for the Persona Team, include roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner.

This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada about Atlus's plans to develop new Persona entries. Although Persona 6 hasn't been officially announced, these job postings strongly indicate Atlus is preparing for a major new release in the popular RPG franchise.

It's been almost eight years since Persona 5's launch. While fans have enjoyed numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports, information on the next mainline game has been scarce. Hints and rumors about Persona 6 have circulated for years.

Rumors from 2019 suggested simultaneous development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. With P3R achieving record sales (one million copies in its first week), the franchise's momentum is undeniable. Speculation points to a possible 2025 or 2026 release for Persona 6. While the timeframe remains uncertain, an official announcement seems imminent.
