So... where is Persona 6 ?

Follow me on Twitter: x.com/Spinning...
A bit of a shorter video today, but one that I've been meaning to make for a while. The Persona series is more popular than ever, with Persona 5 becoming the best-selling game in the Megami Tensei franchise. With Persona 3 Reload just around the corner, and the former Persona team working on Metaphor: ReFantazio, I wanted to discuss the future of the Persona series and why I think Persona 6 isn't neccessarily coming soon.

0:02 yes, a game called Persona 5, with the number 5 in the title, is the first game lmao

Persona 6 is coming out the same year Grand Theft Auto VI is coming out so it's in 2025. Believe me it's all a marketing thing because the Grand Theft Auto series develops hype for just video games in general so that would be the perfect time for Persona 6 to come out Persona 6 news following a few months after Persona 3 reloads release

I do believe that us getting Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor ReFantazio in 2024 has allowed Atlus to push Persona 6 a year or two after those games. I could see them doing something similar to GTA 6's reveal, where it's revealed in December this year and slated for 2 years after, so a 2026 release which I think is plausible. And even with the original P3-5 creators leaving, Persona 5 Royal and 3 Reload have been pretty solid, and it would be interesting to see what the new people in charge do with Persona 6 with possible deviations from P3-5 like you said

I can wait for Persona 6, just give me SMT 5 on PS4, HD remasters for DDS1+2, SMT 1 remake, etc.

Yeah I'm actually surprised SMTV hasn't been ported to other platforms yet to be honest 😂

I don't get it, Atlus is well-known for being greedy. P6 should have been released in 2020 already, and by now it would have like a billion DLC and maybe a spinoff or two. If that new project developed for 7 years flops, then what?

[@DragonKingX78]

If Atlus never made those lame Persona spinoff games who knows what interesting games we could have gotten.

[@makotonarukami7468]

Listen to the nature of Atlas to milk the personas series in terms of spin-off so Persona 5 milking isn't done yet are most likely on the verge this year to be done milking could get a Persona 5 fighting game by the end of this next year lullaby news of persona 6 which will come out in 2025 the same year as the new Grand Theft Auto

[@SpinningEdge]

Yeah I feel like the unpredecidented popularity of Persona 5, as well as the P5 team working on Metaphor, only incentvises them to milk it more to be honest.

P6 started full development in 2019. they weren't going to release the game one year into development lmao
