Persona 6 PS5

As much as we might want to know more about Persona 6 following its teaser trailer yesterday, Atlus has suggested it's going to remain tight-lipped on the project until after Persona 4 Revival releases.

P Studio director Kazuhisa Wada says as much in a press release sharing the latest surrounding the Persona series (via GamesRadar): "We are delighted to officially announce our work on the next instalment of the Persona series and look forward to sharing the incredible efforts that the entire team is putting into Persona 6 for its release after Persona 4 Revival."

The next remake from Atlus launches on 18th February 2027, meaning you'll have to wait at least another eight months before anything official is shared. Persona 5, originally released as a PS3 game, came out all the way back in 2017, so what's another eight months compared to nine years?

For now, we know Persona 6 will stick to the familiar formula of a group of high school students managing their time between school life and demon hunting. However, the teaser trailer suggested the new RPG will adopt a darker tone than past efforts.

"Navigate the rhythms of everyday school life and build friendships, pursue romance, and cultivate memories that matter. But beneath the surface of familiar streets and quiet neighborhoods lies something darker: strange rumors, unsettling urban legends, and occult incidents that only you and your closest allies can face," teases the official Persona 6 description.

Persona 4 Revival will be the subject of a story and gameplay-focused livestream next week, so at least there's a quality title to play to pass the time with once it's out in February 2027.
