About

Persona 6 is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by P-Studio, an internal division of Atlus, and published by Sega for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S. It will be the seventh main installment of the Persona series, itself a part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise.

Persona 6 will be the first main entry in the series since Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (2000) to not be directed by Katsura Hashino, following his departure from the Persona development team in 2016. Preparatory work for the game began before the worldwide release of Persona 5 in 2017. Full production had commenced by 2021, while the game was formally announced in June 2026.

Development

After the Japanese launch of Persona 5 in 2016, Katsura Hashino, a primary producer at P-Studio and the director of the last three main Persona games, had officially departed the team, citing the aforementioned game as a "turning point" for the series, as well as a desire to pursue new projects away from the franchise. Also in 2016, he established Studio Zero as a development group within Atlus for original projects released by their flagship franchise, Megami Tensei. Atlus USA released a press statement on December 23, 2016, clarifying that while Hashino's preoccupation with developing Metaphor: ReFantazio (2024) with Studio Zero precluded any possible involvement with the Persona series at present, P-Studio was committed to creating further Persona games for satisfying fan demand. Atlus reaffirmed that series character designer Shigenori Soejima and composer Shoji Meguro, remained available to reprise their respective duties for future Persona projects simultaneously with their involvement in Studio Zero and Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Meguro departed Atlus' sound team at the end of September 2021 in order to pursue freelance composing work and partake in independent game designing. He publicly committed to his continued involvement with Atlus games, saying he would prioritize full game soundtracks with the publisher. However, he cautioned expectations as to whether he would remain involved with composing for the Persona games.
