Summary
Persona 6was nowhere to be seen at the Xbox Games Showcase, but fans can rest assured that the game is still on the way. ThePersonafranchise has reached new heights thanks to the success ofPersona 5, and so fans have been anxiously waiting to see what’s next. Unfortunately, we are getting close to a full decade since the release ofPersona 5andPersona 6still has yet to be revealed.
Persona 5was first released in 2016, and the years since have largely been filled by spin-offs, enhanced ports, and remakes. In fact, it was just announced that thePersona 4remake is happeningasPersona 4 Revival, which is currently without a release date. While many fans of the franchise were no doubt excited to learn thatPersona 4is getting a remake, there are those who are concerned that Atlus still hasn’t shown offPersona 6.
AddressingPersonafranchise fans in the wake of thePersona 4remake announcement, P-Studio’s Kazuhisa Wada confirmed that the studio is “preparing for the future” of the franchise. He added that the studio is developingfuturePersonagamesand hopes to “meet the expectations of fans worldwide.” Doing that means that games need more time in the oven, so Wada has asked fans to “please hold on just a little longer.” While Wada didn’t explicitly mentionPersona 6in the message, one can read between the lines and come to the conclusion that P-Studio is hard at work on the game and otherPersonaseries projects in the pipeline.
Atlus is Preparing for the Future of the Persona Series
The nextPersonaseries release is actually right around the corner.Persona 4 Revivalmay not have a release date, but fans do know that they can playPersona 5: The Phantom Xlater this month. Gacha RPG spin-offPersona 5: The Phantom Xis launching worldwide on June 26after having previously released in other regions in 2024. Even though it’s a mobile spin-off,Persona 5: The Phantom Xretains many of the same elements that define the main series games, and so it should still make for an interesting release.
Additionally, we are preparing for the future of the Persona series as a whole studio. We are developing these titles to meet the expectations of fans worldwide, so please hold on just a little longer.
While it’s always best practice for fans to wait for official information,Persona 6leaks suggest that the game will launch in 2026and features “green” as its main color theme, compared toPersona 3’s blue,Persona 4’s yellow, andPersona 5’s red. IfPersona 6is truly launching in 2026 as rumored, one has to imagine that a reveal will happen sooner rather than later, so fans should keep an eye out for more information on that front.
