Persona 6 still hasn’t been announced, but that hasn’t stopped some well-informed internet users from revealing some very interesting information about Altus’ next game!
The Persona license is a real success and Altus knows it. The remake of Persona 3 Reload, released a month ago, is a hit. The latter was the top seller in Japan in its first week of release, selling 116,392 copies. Since then, the explosion of Persona 5 and its derivative software has greatly increased the popularity of the license, and now fans are patiently waiting for the official announcement of Persona 6. Fortunately, some well-informed netizens have some information about it. .
Persona 6 further develops the saga’s recipe
The announcement of Persona 6 is really desired as we have been waiting for this for many months and there is still nothing. However, confirmed leakers already have some information about it. Recently, Head on the Block, a renowned user, on ResetEra, came to add some elements to the already existing rumors. He particularly points out th at the next work, like the previous works, would still take place in a high school. Even more than in Persona 5, players should a priori be able to wander around in a semi-open world. We therefore assume that the few alleys and important places will be accompanied by a more open dimension this time, perhaps closer to the series Like a dragon
Yes, it opens the doors a little, but also adds that the social connections we make with the other characters should be drastically changed. A big change to an extremely important gameplay mechanic in Persona. As a reminder, Social Links are affinities that the player builds with other characters to improve their stats and unlock numerous benefits.
According to the leaker, these famous social links should be handled in a much more “smooth” and dynamic way. So we imagine a freer and more natural treatment, where Persona always ended up making it quite scripted. He also explains that the exchange would be more interactive and would sometimes have time constraints, hence a more dynamic recipe. It is said that this time will come when the relationship between the characters can develop further.
How long do we have to wait for Persona 6?
Previous leaks have already mentioned a release sometime in 2025. Additionally, Altus would also be working on other Persona games, which could delay the release. However, only an official announcement could confirm this to us. The publisher expects Persona 6 to sell 5 million copies. From such a large estimate we can deduce two things: it will take a long time to develop into a top quality game and it would be playable on multiple platforms to boost sales. In the meantime, players can wait with a DLC for Persona 3 that was also recently leaked.
