Atlus Seeks Persona Producer Amid Persona 6 SpeculationPersona Game and Project Details Unrevealed
As initially reported by Game*Spark, Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for the Persona development team. The job posting, titled "Producer (Persona Team)," seeks an experienced professional in IP and AAA game development to supervise the franchise's production and management. Other job postings were also published, but not specified as "Persona Team" roles. These included positions such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and Scenario Writer.
This job posting report follows earlier remarks from game director Kazuhisa Wada, who indicated that the company’s mid-to-long-term plans encompass creating new installments for the series. While no official announcement concerning Persona 6 has been made, the recently discovered job postings might indicate that Atlus is preparing for its next major title in the popular RPG franchise.
Rumors dating back to 2019 suggested that Persona 6 was being developed alongside the more recent Persona title releases, such as P5 Tactica and P3R, which fueled speculation regarding the commencement of project development on a new major release. With P3R becoming one of the fastest-selling games in the series' history, reaching one million copies sold within its first month, the momentum behind the franchise is stronger than ever. It has been speculated that Persona 6 could be aiming for a 2025 or 2026 release. While the timeline remains uncertain, we suspect that an official announcement may not be far off.
