It’s been eight years since the release of Persona 5 and five years since Persona 5 Royal. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on Persona 6, and while an official announcement remains elusive, a recent update from a reliable industry insider suggests the game might be further along in development than many anticipated.
This update comes from X user, Ryan from the Bronx, formerly known as Midori. While they don’t anticipate a Persona 6 reveal at The Game Awards in December, they believe a reveal alongside the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 presentation in the coming months is a possibility.
More significantly, the leaker claims Persona 6 is currently in localization. This stage of development typically indicates the game’s core content is complete. Further reinforcing this is the claim that development on future DLC expansions began this month. This suggests the game has moved past content creation and into the polishing phase.
This information, while exciting, should be approached with caution. While the source has a history of accurate leaks, they’ve also been inaccurate in the past. Furthermore, game development is fluid, and plans can change.
While Atlus hasn’t commented on this rumor, and historically hasn’t addressed Persona 6 speculation, any official statements will be added to this article as they become available.
