Rumor: Atlus has begun work on the next installment in the Persona series

Persona Central recently drew attention to the fact that Atlus has posted a list of vacancies that include the development of the next game in a key franchise. Studio head Naoto Hiraoka gave an interview in which he confirmed the fact that work on Persona 6 has begun.

Naoto Hiraoki has plans to exceed the expectations of the players, as he said in the aforementioned interview:

The tremendous support we received with Persona 5 gave us the opportunity to feel our own success. But we are not going to stop there. When we created Persona 4, we had to release a game that surpassed Persona 3. Now we have the sixth part, which should surpass the fifth. But this is almost impossible with the current lineup, which is why we are planning an expansion. And it's the perfect opportunity for anyone craving fun creative challenges when making video games.

At the moment, it is known that Persona 6 is far from the only project Atlus is currently working on. The latter are working on six additional projects that are related to the Persona series of games. What exactly is meant by the concept of "project" is currently unknown, but their announcement was made on the 25th anniversary of the Persona games.

In September of this year, the first announcement of these projects will appear, which will last until the fall of 2022.
