Most likely since Hashino & Co. are working on a different game.
Unless they get someone else to direct it (Please not the Tokyo Mirage Sessions guys).

Is it going to take another nine years of waiting for Persona 6 to come out?
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
I don't expect it to take 9, but I expect 5+. But hopefully with SMT 5 and Hashino's new project that will dampen the blow.
Also weren't they testing the HD waters with Catherine?
I remember reading Hashino is done with the series.

I don't think it will be that long of a wait, but it depends on a lot of factors. We still don't know who the new leads will be.
2016 for P5, so in hoping it can make it late 2019 or 2020. The earthquake, index collapsing, and the move to a new gen really hit them hard. UE4 should help with development as they're already using it for SMTV.
It'll be exciting to see what the new team for the Persona series will come up with, since the regulars are off making something new.

Right now I'd be happy enough if I knew whether Persona 5 Rouge will be out by the end of next year. We can worry about the new team and P6 after that.
Nah i hope they take the P5 engine for P6. It would make the time between games shorter.
Its gonna be some years until P6 but not 9 years again.
Already get hype for green Persona 6 with female protagonist!

It probably won't, but it still takes quite some experience (thus time) to direct something that has to be better than persona 5.
I'm gonna guess 4-5 years after the release of 5 with an enhanced version of 5 about 2.5-3 years after its release.
i want some remakes and ports. a definiteve version of 3, handheld 5, maybe the port of 2 fully localized.
It entirely depends on Atlus. They're still set in their ways in some regards; hopefully one of those ways isn't "let's build an entirely new engine for a sequel" like Japanese devs used to do constantly. If they reuse the P5 tech, or maybe make the jump to U4 or another middleware engine, I can expect one in maybe another three years.
People saying "it will be faster with P5's success". The same could be said about Persona 4's success and it still took a long time to make P5.
Yeah, that increased because it's a HD game, but I still wouldn't expect a P6 soon. Atlus has other games and they probably have multimedia project and spin-offs for P5 planned for the next years.

This, I rather Atlus take their time and came out with something different for Persona 6.
They are going to take their time and still reuse the same formula, aren't they?
Considering the P5 engine is using a modified version a gamebryo, an engine that isn't even officially supported by the creators anymore, I can see why.
i think sony will try and coerce them to get it in time for post PS5 launch so 2021? short 4 years
P5 engine isn't gamebyro. https://www.destructoid.com/persona-5-uses-atlus-internal-engine-210273.phtml
I'm being rather optimistic here, but the time between 4 and 5 was long because of extenuating circumstances. I think we'll get Persona 6 around Fall 2021, with an announcement around E3 2020 being possible.
Catherine used Gamebryo and Atlus called it an "engine test" which is where the confusion on this comes from. What they really meant was they were just seeing what they could do with PS3 hardware, not testing the actual P5 engine.
I don't think they would let the B team work on their biggest and most important series.
I hope they will take their time. P4 used many assets and was in general lacking new features as a sequel, because it came just two years after P3.
That's how I feel. I still enjoy Persona, but I'm more looking forward to the first console, mainline SMT in 15 years.
I agree, maybe 4 years as they can recycle their P5 engine easily. I wonder if the game will be a cross platform release on PS4 and PS5 then.
I sure hope not. After playing P4 for the first time and having recently started P5, I actually want to be around for speculation for once. Maybe not the months of waiting without info like P5 allegedly had, but still.
I have very low hopes after how infamous P4 was or being milked, and P5 has only been more successful and the spinofs have already started. Expecting the wait to be very long.This is the one time Persona fans DON'T want more days between now and the next story event

I think there's going to be a big enough gap that any indie who wants to make a Persona-like before Persona 6 comes out will have plenty of time to do so.
I thought the ps4 version looked great. I hope they make another with that engine and give us another game in less than 5 years. Would hate for another damn near decade wait.
No. There were several factors why there was such a large gap between P4 and P5:
1) The transition to HD development
hit many developers really hard. They wrote their own new engine for P5 and updating all the demon models to HD standards took a long time
2) The collapse of Index, Atlus' prior parent company
3) Catherine. After P4, P Studio made that first to familiarize themselves with HD development.
Also keep in mind that P5 is Atlus' biggest game yet in terms of sheer volume (and Atlus isn't the biggest studio in the first place). These things, they take time.
I do think we're gonna see P6 faster, 2020/2021 is my guess.

I have a feeling the new P-Studio staff is going to make a Golden Playhouse spin-off first as a warming-up title of sorts. I don't expect them to tackle P6 right away just like that.
I see where you're going with this. Definitely going to keep an eye on any announcements :P
Time to give the people what they want: romanceable male party members and a FeMC option!
Atlus struggled with P5's engine. They arent as big as other devs and they ain't technical wizards.
I am not sure if they will do P6 fast, considering the enhanced rerelease of P5 isn't even out yet.
If it has to be 4K on PS5, I can see them taking a long time.
However if SMT5 can have a quick turnaround from using UE4 (no sure thing at this time), then things look better for P6.
It depends of the route they take. If they're smart, they can also do a Persona 4 remaster with P5 engine, I'm sure the fanbase would jump on it since it's a very beloved title. The only thing that hold P4 from being a masterpiece is the fact that the graphics are ok at best. Give it the gloss of P5 engine and modelisation and I'm sure it would be a massive hit.
Persona 3 is less likely since you have to adjust the pace of the game and rework the tartarus to not get trashed by the reviews and the new players.
So yes, if they ever think about making a grand remaster of P4, P6 could come very late.

Yeah well, they have not even begun milking Persona 5 for all its worth, so of course Persona 6 is still out of question.
I'm hoping familiarity with UE4 will shorten the wait. Atlus would be throwing money away if they didn't start development on Persona 6 after SMT V releases.
