Upcoming Persona Event Will Not Have Any New Game Announcements

gamerant.com:

Atlus has confirmed that the upcoming «Persona Super Live» event will not feature any announcements of new Persona games. Atlus announced the concert series would return earlier this year after missing 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The bi-annual concert has typically featured music from throughout the JRPG franchise's storied history, along with plenty of updates about new games in the franchise. Now, Atlus has confirmed the newest iteration of the two-day music event will not reveal any new games.

Atlus made the announcement regarding the Persona Super Live on Tuesday, with the concert coming as part of the Persona franchise's 25th anniversary celebrations. The Persona PR team revealed several new elements coming as part of the concert, including a life-sized statue of Persona 5's Arsene alongside the statues of iconic Personas Thanatos and Izanagi. The conclusion of the announcement expressly confirms that Atlus will not be making any announcements relating to a new Persona game during the concert.

Persona 25th Anniversary May Have Fewer Announcements Than Expected

The confirmation of no new announcements comes as fans have rampantly speculated a Persona 6 announcement could come during the anniversary festivities. While previous job listings from Atlus have seemingly confirmed Persona 6 is in development, the JRPG developer has yet to make any official statements about the sequel. A long hiatus between main series games is nothing new for the Persona franchise, with an eight-year gap between the Japanese release of Persona 4 in 2008 and Persona 5 in 2016.

While no new games will come during the anniversary concert, Atlus still has more announcements planned throughout the rest of the year. The
