Well, it looks like the Persona 4 remake really wasn’t the only Persona game in attendance during today’s Xbox Games Showcase. Atlus also showed up with a brief trailer for Persona 6, confirming what we (sort of) already knew: it’s happening.
I couldn’t tell you anything about the Atlus RPG from the trailer—it’s just a few flashes of vaguely spooky imagery, but it at least feels thematically on brand. Some judgy pointing fingers, a few rows of tombstones, a haunting statue with the looming shadow of a person reaching for it.
But don’t worry, I’m sure the eagle-eyed Persona community will be scrubbing these few seconds for months. If there’s anything to be gleaned from it, they’ll all have it figured out in a day. If you want to start on the task yourself, have a look at the trailer:
Man, this reminds me of Persona 5’s first teaser with the five chairs all lined up and a single line of text. I just hope Atlus is further along with this one; Persona 5 took three years between its first announcement and eventual launch. That’s still better than the Elder Scrolls 6 situation, though. Now we wait to see which launches after their vague imagery teases first.
Developing…
