A leaker of recent games at Atlus has claimed that Persona 6's release window will be within the next three years. Persona 6 has been a frequent rumor for a long while now, with some of the rumors being at their strongest during the series' 25th-anniversary celebration. In the past few years, however, there's been little concrete evidence that proves its existence, with other leaks and rumors making it difficult to determine what is accurate or falsified. In the meantime, fans have been getting a host of other spin-off titles and media, with more leaks that point towards a tactics-focused RPG known as Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload, the remake of the series' third mainline game.
These two Persona titles were leaked twice before their official unveiling, both being uploaded ahead of their probable appearance during the Xbox Showcase. These titles were hinted at prior to their leakage via a set of URL domains, with a leaker also claiming that the Persona 3 remake would have a new subtitle, which was "Reload." This ended up being vindicated when the aforementioned leaks occurred, which confirmed the remake was indeed called Persona 3 Reload. This same leaker has come forward with new information, specifically about the development and release of Persona 6.
The leaker appears to be a Japanese user, who goes by MbKKssTBhz5 on Twitter and has kept up with several aspects of Persona games in development at Atlus. Recently they made the claim that the game is still a bit far from release, as the company is focused on expanding the franchise globally in different ways. They state that once they have built a global audience, Atlus will release Persona 6 within the next three years.
The leaker states that the team at Atlus has been hard at work with this upcoming game, and hopes that fans will support them. Not only that, but development is apparently going smoothly at Atlus and it is looking to release its spin-off projects to everyone, with more information to be revealed if they learn anything new. Asides from Persona 6, the leaker revealed more details about Persona 5 Tactica and a brand-new Persona crossover game that will feature the casts of the first five games.
According to the leaker, this crossover has the codename "Asa," and is intended to be a big tribute to its history, with an apparent release window of Q3 2024. There are also cooperative elements and activities, along with every Persona main character introduced so far being included. The aforementioned Persona 5 Tactica RPG will also apparently feature more characters from the P5 games, which likely means auxiliary Phantom Thieves Akechi and Yoshizawa will be possible party members too. That said, this is all just speculation at this time, and this information could be inaccurate despite the leaker's accuracy so far, so fans should take all this information with a grain of salt.
Persona 6 is rumored to be in development.
