Atlus just officially announced Persona 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 with an ominous teaser trailer.

"An entirely new story is about to unfold. The highly anticipated next chapter of the iconic RPG series delivers a bold, new standalone story blending heartfelt daily life and new characters with pulse-pounding, supernatural adventure," the trailer description reads.
"Whether it’s your first Persona game or you’ve been here since the beginning, this one’s for you."
