New Producer Role for Persona Team

(c) Atlus Game*Spark's report reveals Atlus is actively recruiting a new producer for its Persona team. The "Producer (Persona Team)" listing seeks an experienced AAA game developer with a proven track record in IP management. Additional postings for roles such as 2D character designer, UI designer, and scenario planner were also discovered, although not explicitly tied to the Persona team.

This recruitment drive follows comments from game director Kazuhisa Wada, who alluded to new Persona entries in the company's future plans. Although Persona 6 remains unconfirmed, the current hiring spree strongly suggests Atlus is preparing for a significant new project.

With nearly eight years since Persona 5's release, fans have eagerly awaited the next mainline installment. While spin-offs, remakes, and ports have kept the franchise alive, details regarding Persona 6 remain scarce.

Rumors circulating since 2019 hinted at concurrent development of Persona 6 alongside titles like P5 Tactica and P3R, fueling speculation about a new major release in the works. The phenomenal success of P3R, selling over one million copies in its first week, further underscores the franchise's enduring popularity. A 2025 or 2026 release window for Persona 6 has been speculated, but the exact timeline remains shrouded in mystery. An official announcement, however, may be imminent.
