Persona 6 Is Finally Official After Years Of Waiting

Following a series of leaks earlier this week, Sega and Atlus have officially revealed Persona 6, the next mainline entry in the long-running RPG series.

The trailer was incredibly sparse on details, showing only a dark, ominous environment that looked a lot like a cemetery, bathed in green light. The color is important, as green has been associated for Persona 6 rumors for years now. For reference, all mainline Persona titles have a color attributed to them, with red for Persona 5, yellow for Persona 4, and blue for Persona 3. Little else was revealed in the trailer, outside of confirming that the game will launch for Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Persona 6’s reveal comes during a momentous time for the franchise, as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. While there hasn’t been a new mainline game since 2016’s Persona 5, the series has grown tremendously since then. Persona 5 received a massive overhaul in 2019’s Persona 5 Royal, and Atlus has released several spin-off games in the last decade, including rhythm games, a dungeon-crawler for the Nintendo 3DS, a crossover with Dynasty Warriors, and even a well-received remake of Persona 3: Reload.

Additionally, Atlus is also working on a Persona 4 remake, which the company says will remain faithful to the original story while also being updated visually and mechanically for the modern age. It launches on February 28, 2027, with a new trailer debuting during the Xbox Games Showcase. If you’re looking to see what all the JRPG fuss is about, Persona 5: Royal will be added to the Xbox Game Pass library on June 9.
