Persona 6: Speculated Release Date
After a look at the history of the Persona series, we have come across a speculated release date. Keep reading to know our line of thoughts. The original persona for PS 1 was out in 1996. It was followed by a sequel, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, in 1999. Later, in 2000, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment was out. However, although numerous Persona games were available within four years, they all ran on the same platform and were somehow based on similar assets.
However, with PS2, things started changing for the Persona series. Persona 3 was released in 2006 for PS 2 and was followed by Persona 4 two years later. It was then followed by spin-offs of the Persona series along with the re-release of the previous games for a decade.
Finally, after a long wait of eight years, Persona 4 and Persona 5 were released in 2016 in Japan for S3 and PS$. Later, in 2019, Persona 5 Royal was rolled out. If we follow the trend, the summer of 2023, as predicted by the leader, is the perfect time for the rollout of Persona 6. We also believe that this game will use the graphics and engine of Persona 5.

Also, we believe that Atlus now knows that the announcement of Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei V was made too soon. As a result, the long wait time for the game was highly frustrating for the gamers. Consequently, when making an announcement regarding SMTV, Atlas reduced the wait time to six months, which is appropriate. We hope Atlus will follow the same pattern for Persona 6 too. Keep revisiting this space for more updated information regarding the release date of Persona 6.
