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 recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" role requires extensive experience in AAA game development and IP management. Additional postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also listed, though not specifically tied to the Persona team.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada, who indicated the company's plans for future Persona installments. While a Persona 6 announcement remains unconfirmed, these job listings strongly suggest Atlus is actively developing a new mainline title.
With nearly eight years having passed since Persona 5's release, fans have eagerly awaited news of the next mainline game. Numerous spin-offs and remasters have kept the franchise alive, but details regarding a new core entry have been scarce. Hints and rumors, including speculation dating back to 2019, suggested simultaneous development alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's momentum. A 2025 or 2026 release window has been suggested, though this remains unconfirmed. An official announcement is likely imminent.
