Atlus is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Persona series in 2026, beginning with the first update coming on January 8.
The official website for the Persona series has revealed plans to celebrate its 30th anniversary next year, starting with the first update on January 8, 2026. Perhaps this is when we’ll get our first look at the series’ sixth numbered entry. On the other hand, the first update may have something to do with Persona 4 Revival.
Back in September, 2024, Twitter/X insider p0wyful shared alleged details regarding the gameplay and release window for Persona 6. According to them, post-launch DLC for Persona 6 is set in stone. They mentioned that it will contain lots of customization for party members and the game’s dual protagonists. They also claimed that Atlus will release smaller expansions as well as a more sizeable expansion that will be independent of the base game.
The insider also claimed Persona 6’s color theme is green and that the overall theme is black and white, as was previously rumored. They said that duality is a major element of the game, and the protagonists i.e. Kuro and Shiro, represent this among other things. According to them, it won’t be a matter of picking one protagonist or the other. One protagonist (male) will take priority over the other, though both of them will have plenty of playtime. However, they mentioned that fans shouldn’t expect choice or an equal amount of playable screen time for both characters.
Furthermore, the insider claimed that Persona 6 takes place in an art school. This is where the black and white and duality element plays an integral role. The game is said to involve plenty of clashes between modern and traditional art, and one of the central conflicts will be ‘modernity vs tradition’. Various art mediums including music, painting, writing, etc, are said to be a smaller focus, though they will allegedly influence the main cast in some manner.
