I'm hoping for just a couple years, however their last outing left a sour taste in my mouth. I felt the hand-holding was too extreme.

Is it going to take another nine years of waiting for Persona 6 to come out?
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
Despite the success of 5, I hope they take their time with 6.
It would be understandable if they wanted to push something out sooner, but rushing the immense amount of effort that 5 would have taken will surely involve cutting certain corners.
On the other hand, as mentioned, they now have the experience and tools available to them to streamline the process. Haven't really read into what changes hit their creative team, though.

This. Give me another Catherine-esque game or two before another Persona releases. Or at least get more staff to work on separate games that uses the same base resources.
Many of them are probably being reused for SMT V I'd assume.
Yeah, I'm thinking 4-5 years. Worse comes to worse, Atlus will give it to another team while the current one tries to get Re Fantasy out. Not quite striking while the iron's hot, but not leaving it to languish for a decade.
shouldn't take 9 years since now they can start recycling assets for future entries and for SMT V as well :P
You know they are gonna milk P5 for all its worth. They did the same for P4 and they were rolling in cash. Why wouldn't they do the same here?
Hashino's definitely not coming back for the next one, but I don't see why Soejima and Meguro can't be on both projects.
In any case, nothing's going to get done until they're finished with the (inevitable) P5 rerelease.
IIRC, the CEO mentioned they were already hard at work on the next entry / making sure the release gap wasn't as huge in their JP recruitment material a while back. I don't think late 2018 is out of the question with a sequel closer to the P3->P4 jump, than the P4->P5 one.
That's literally why they started Studio Zero. Like, that's their mission statement.

Except for P3/5D, none of those are being made by Division 2 (P Studio) tho.
IIRC Hashino was the one who teased Catherine 2, which would lead to the assumption that it would be helmed by Studio Zero.
No, cause that shit is never coming out, I'm not stupid
We're gonna get:
Persona 4 Sequel
Persona 4 Arena Sequel
Persona 5 Platinum
Persona 5 Arena
Persona 5: The Platinum Arena

Honestly, I came in this thread to be super bummed... but then I thought about that team making a "Catherine 2" (doesn't have to be a sequel to that, but a game in a similar vein) and holy crap, I now have a much more anticipated (fake? :[ ) game to be hyped about.
I highly doubt this.
Considering that Persona is their flagship franchise, and they now have the developer tools and experience on hand to make development easier, I expect Atlus to kick it into high gear. I can see them outsourcing all of the spinoff-Persona titles (Arena, Dancing, etc.) to other developers, and them churning out Persona sequels every 2 or 3 years.

I don't mind getting Persona 6 in 5-6 years, as long as they mantain the same level of P5.
Realistically speaking, tehy'll gonna milk P5 like they did with 4 before we can get something, is gonna take long

Personally, I hope Re:Fantasy. It's the first Atlus game I'm excited for and I hope it will be completely different from all their other games, especially Persona which is incredibly off-putting for me. Basically, the closer they make it to Final Fantasy, the better:p
