Persona 6 Will Take Place In A High School Again, Claims Leaker

thegamer.com:

We don't know too much about Persona 6 right now, with all eyes on the recently released Persona 3 Reload and Atlus' upcoming new IP Metaphor: ReFantazio. We know that Persona 6 is in the works though, with reliable insider Midori claiming that "all efforts" are currently on the title, and that Atlus doesn't plan on releasing any more Persona spinoffs, remakes, or remasters until Persona 6 is out the gates.

It's from this same insider that we might also have our first information about the game's setting. There have been several calls for the series to grow up ever since the release of Persona 5 Royal, with many people hoping that Atlus would buck the high school setting trend we've been given ever since the release of Eternal Punishment back in 2000. Unfortunately, it seems like those calls may go unanswered.

In response to a fan criticizing the potential for Persona 6 to adopt a college setting, Midori says "we're not getting out of high school with this one", pretty much implying that the game will have a high school setting similar to that of pretty much every game in the series besides Eternal Punishment. With that being the case, it also seems likely that the game will have us play as a student who has been expelled/moved/something else from their previous school, again, just like every past Persona.

Midori is a pretty popular and reliable insider in the Persona/Sega community, having accurately predicted the recently released Persona 3 Reload as well as the existence of Persona 5 Tactica. Of course, its worth noting that none of this has been officially announced and is always worth taking with a pinch of salt, but Midori has proven accurate in the past, so we have no reason to doubt her word on stuff like this.

That being said, this revelation is a little disappointing, especially since Atlus is now risking the series getting a little stale if it doesn't do something to make Persona 6 stand out from the rest of the pack, though we shouldn't be waiting too
