The next entry in Sega and Atlus’ action role-playing game series, Persona 6, may be in the localization stage of development.
Twitter/X insider ryanfrombronx, who had previously shared several Sega related leaks under the ID of Midori, has shared that the development of Persona 6 has now moved to localization. According to them, as of this past month, development on the game’s DLC expansions is beginning to move further along.
As for when Atlus will announce Persona 6, the insider said that they believe Persona 5 X is more likely to be revealed at the upcoming The Game Awards 2024 on December 13. In their opinion, a more likely platform for the Persona 6 announcement would be the Switch 2 reveal event, similar to how Atlus revealed Persona 3 Reload, Persona 5 Tactica, and Metaphor at an Xbox event.
Previously, Twitter/X user p0wyful, who appears to have sources within Atlus and also has some association with ryanfrombronx, had shared alleged details regarding the gameplay and release window for Persona 6. They mentioned that the game is targeting a 2025 release, more specifically a summer 2025 window. They added that, if they were to guess, it will be released between July and August. According to them, post-launch DLC for Persona 6 is set in stone. They mentioned that the game 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.
