Persona 6: Everything We Know So Far

ign.com:

With Persona 3 Reload officially in the rearview mirror, our next major slice of Persona-branded high school student simulation and turn-based dungeon battles will come via a presumed Persona 6. But when exactly will we see this next Persona game? And what will it be?

In truth, we know very, very little right now, but that doesn't mean we can't take a look at some early rumours and comments from the teams over at Atlus regarding Persona's next mainline entry. So, let's run through all the brief bits of information we've learned so far about what's next for the series.

Although Atlus hasn't come out and officially confirmed that Persona 6 is on its way, the team has gone on record to confirm that there will be future additions to the franchise. Back in 2018, the Persona studio's chief director, Kazuhisa Wada, told Dengeki Playstation (later translated by Persona Central) that it was working on "mid-to-long term plans, including new numbered entries."

Since then, the company has alluded to the release of a new mainline entry several times, whether that's through job postings or hints that the company is working on something new. Although even without Atlus continuing to make clear that a sequel is in the works, it feels somewhat inevitable. Persona 5's sales recently crossed 10 million units and Persona 3 Reload became the fastest-selling game in Atlus' history this year, amassing a million copies sold in just one week. With recent entries pulling in record profits, it's hard to imagine Persona 6 isn't in the studio's future.

Considering we don't have an official reveal of Persona 6 just yet, there's very little to go off regarding how far along it is and when it will hit shelves. That being said, one prominent leak seems to imply we can expect the game in the next two years. Midori, A reputable insider who has shared multiple leaks pertaining to Atlus, SEGA and the Persona franchise in the past, shared on X that they'd heard the game will either launch in 2025 or 2026.
