It’s been nearly eight years since the release of Persona 5. During this time, fans have seen numerous spin-offs, remakes, and ports, but little is known about the next mainline Persona entry. Hints about "Persona 6" have occasionally surfaced through teases and rumors.

Rumors dating back to 2019 suggested that Persona 6 was being developed alongside the more recent Persona title releases, such as P5 Tactica and P3R, which fueled speculation regarding the commencing of project development on a new major release. With P3R becoming one of the fastest-selling games in the series' history, reaching one million copies sold within its first week, the momentum behind the franchise is stronger than ever. It has been speculated that Persona 6 could be aiming for a 2025 or 2026 window. While the timeline remains uncertain, we suspect that an official announcement may not be far off.
