In a recent post on social media, well-regarded insider “Nate the Hate” offered up one key detail about the ongoing work on Persona 6. Specifically, Nate the Hate clarified that Persona 6 is “not in [development] hell”, which is something that many fans have started to believe over the years. This suggests that even though it has taken a long time for Atlus to properly reveal Persona 6 to the public, the reason for this long wait isn’t because there are issues with the game itself. As such, fans can rest easy knowing that Persona 6 doesn’t seem to be in any trouble that would prevent it from one day arriving.
The biggest reason that Persona 6 is likely taking so long is because Atlus has chosen to work on other projects in recent years. This was most prominently seen last year with the release of Metaphor: ReFantazio, which was a brand-new IP to come from Atlus. This endeavor, combined with remakes of Persona 3 and Persona 4, the latter of which has yet to be released, has surely resulted in Atlus being more stretched thin than normal. As a result, work on Persona 6 has likely been put on the back burner to some degree and hasn’t become the full focus of Atlus until more recently.
