ATLUS to kick-off Persona’s 30th anniversary celebrations next week

2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Persona franchise – a sub-series of the popular Shin Megami Tensei games which ended up far surpassing its progenitor in sales, critical reception and public consciousness. With the franchise going stronger than ever 3 decades on, ATLUS appears to have big plans for 2026, starting with their first wave of announcements next week.

Publishing a new website dedicated to the series’ 30th anniversary, ATLUS have teased that the first drop of information relating to Persona’s 2026 plans will arrive on the 8th of January – though it is unknown what exactly will be revealed.

As mentioned, the Persona series has gone from strength-to-strength, with the latest entry – Persona 5 – surpassing 10 million copies and the expanded P5 Royal being publisher SEGA’s highest-selling game of the 2020s.

With Person 5 now being over 9 years old at this point, it is high time that we begin to hear about the inevitable Persona 6. That said, with SEGA claiming previously that they hope to turn Persona into an annual franchise, it’s just as likely they'll unveil yet another P5 spin-off.

Of course, there’s also the previously announced Persona 4 Remake which is also in the works and could very well be shown off. We won’t have to wait long to find out.
