Atlus Seeks Persona Producer: Fueling Persona 6 Rumors
New Producer Role for Persona Team
(c) Atlus As reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for their Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced individual with a proven track record in AAA game production and IP management. Additional postings for roles like 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also noted, although not specifically designated for the Persona team.
This recruitment drive follows comments from director Kazuhisa Wada hinting at future series installments. While Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, these job postings strongly suggest Atlus is actively preparing for the next major entry in the franchise.
With almost eight years since Persona 5's release, fans have eagerly awaited the next mainline title. Numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise active, but details on Persona 6 remain scarce.
Rumors from 2019 suggested concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, fueling speculation about the project's progress. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over a million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's strength and suggests a potential 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6. While the timeline is unconfirmed, an official announcement is anticipated soon.
