There are lines in Strikers that make reference to events from the new semester added in Royal, as well as why Yoshizawa isn't involved.

Dumb Prediction: I think Persona 6 could be annouced Late 2021/Early 2022
- Thread starter TheGamingNewsGuy
- Start date
Lord I need the next spin-off to come so this "P5R isn't canon" nonsense can just freaking die already.
1) This happened already.
Marie isn't so much as mentioned in P4 Arena because much like P5S and P5R they were made close together. Then comes Ultimax and what do you know there she is.
2) What sense does making one non-canon make? Strikers is sold as a sequel to P5 yet Royal is billed as the definitive version of the game, why would they wont either of these to contradict each other?
3) Finally, and I admit until the official release I'm going by hearsay, Royal is mentioned!(or at least alluded too.)

Morgana has a line comparing the final jail in Strikers to the final Palace in Royal.
Maybe a teaser but nothing substantial. Pretty sure Sony is telling Atlus to go full out on PS5 for Persona
After the success of Persona 5, surely they'd try and shorten the turnaround on the next installment?
And Persona 5 released in Japan in September 2016. It's already been more than four years, so I don't see why it couldn't be set to release in late 2021 or early 2022? Or does Atlas not have a dedicated Persona team and they straight up just wait years to focus on other projects first?

I hope they announce Persona 6s release date multiple times just like 5 haha. I'm feeling like this will be more about milking Persona 5. I'd be pleasantly surprised if P6 was a thing. If it is, I can see it as cross gen like P5.
P3 is still a great game and has aspects that are better than P5, but you hit it on the nose with P5R. I played P5R then went back to replay P3, and I think anyone who thinks P3 should only get a remaster should do the same. It's very lacking in a LOT of ways by comparison, but they're not things that can't be amended with a second try in a remake.
Honestly, the most I can see left for P5 at this point is a P5Arena game and maybe a sequel to P5S (which wouldn't be announced next year anyway), amidst their many goofy mobile crossovers. Like, unless we just go full meme and they put out P5 Racing, I can't think of much else they'd do.
Still waiting for Project Fantasy from the persona team split
This!
I came here to say this lmao.
Looking forward to Persona 6 coming out in
Tokyo Mirage Sessions 2 2021 baby lets go.
In all honestly I really do hope they announce a Persona 3 Remake next year and it's a multiplat release. It would be the dream.

From what I've seen it's very minimal. The game taking place after Royal is just bizarre compared to it starting from right after the original P5 ending with several character-related plot-holes. It's not just Yoshizawa related either, however, I'd much rather not go off-topic with spoiler-ridden discussion in this thread. Oh, also I'm not saying Royal isn't canon either Gold Arsene, heck it's better than the OG in every possible way imo. It's clear to most I believe minus some odd Reddit folk.
I don't think the game is off-hands at all to do a remake for, as it follows the same game design methodologies that people are accustomed to today with Persona. It'll need several QOL improvements, (Tartarus for one). Unfortunately, P3P isn't the ideal template either due to its overworld point and click nature either.
Honestly if next year all they do is announce P4G on PS4/NSW and P3 remake using P5 engine, I'm all good until the inevitable 2024 release of Persona 6.

Akechi spin-off, Royal anime, a different type of action game, different kind of RPG, crossover, I'm sure they got something.
Shh. Don't tell me give me that sound reasoning, I have to believe they'll run out of excuses not to push P6's development along at some point.

Persona 5 came out ages ago in Japan now. It's definitely time to announce the next mainline entry.
I hope P5 Arena is a thing, I wasn't a fan of P4A but I'd give it another chance since ASW games just look incredible.
I can't even imagine what a Persona 6 would be like. I'm finally in the camp that wants it out of high school. I'm thinking college where you have more freedom. Or even that back packing around the world idea that was gonna be P5 at an incredibly early point.
The problem with college Persona is that from my understanding you DON'T have more freedom in Japanese college. At least that's not the popular consensus vs high school.
Again that's just what I've heard though.
I feel like Persona 6 isn't going to be announced in 2021 because the next major Persona game will be a full-blown remake of Persona 3 with Persona 5 tech & cutscenes from the movies. Would be easier & cheaper than doing Persona 6, while still having similar potential for sales.
Probably a Persona 5 Steam Release and a Persona 3 Remaster for this year, and maybe a teaser like the chairs from P5 for 6, but I don't expect a full-blown reveal since Atlus is pretty busy at the moment with other projects
Hot pink
I don't know in other languages, but in spanish Royal felt much less homophobic than the original, though that may be because of the translation team
it's going to be another high school simulator and it will do well despite any whining about the subject
Atlus doesn't seem to like to talk about multiple "big" games at the same time. I expect Persona 6 to start to get rumblings after SMTV is released.

I want Persona in 'murican college. Pick your major, show up to lecture, get wasted (or not), practice adulting while saving the world. Doubt it's gonna happen but it would be cool.
Just ditch the school setting, please.
And if you absolutely have to keep it (of course they do), at least do something different like college or ridiculous like elementary school.

I can see it being announced earlier than that, with a very cryptic teaser and then... Only releasing like 5 years later.
i was thinking purple too — lots of spinoff potential, but maybe too close to red? green would probably be kind of garish for the type of shades they tend to go for, but it'd stand out at least.
I thought Persona 5 evolved the formula in a number of meaningful ways. Most noticeably:
All S-Links now give bonuses (before, it was mostly just ally S-Links that had bonuses attached).
Dungeons were handcrafted instead of just being generic random hallways.
Baton pass & character swapping made battle much more interesting.
Stealth system in dungeons.
Controls/UI revamped to feel a lot snappier.
Persona 5 was released during september 2016 in Japan. So quite some time ago.
How soon we will see and get P6 depends on several factors I think :
-what kind of engine they will use (P5 engine is outdated but they know it well now...)
-who's working on it (can Atlus really sustain 2 bigger projects like the studio Zero game and P6 at the same time ?)

In less than the span of a year, Atlus released their two biggest projects to-date (Persona 5 & TMS#FE) & 2 smaller projects (SMT4: Apocalypse & Etrian Odyssey 5) so they're no stranger to working on multiple projects simultaneously. And well, SMT5 & Project Re:Fantasy are probably both getting close to release and even if a new Persona is announced next year, it's probably not coming out before end of 2022 at the earliest (and most likely 2023-2024).
What I've read (and watched) suggests exactly the opposite. College has too much freedom compared to high school, so most of the time bonds with classmates seem much smaller, since they don't stay together as long, unless they're tied by other elements, like shared interests. That ends up favoring high school since it's a more universal and tightly knit experience.
On the other hand, if anything, actual high school in Japan has much less freedom than portrayed in anime since studying for university entrance exams is a big focus in reality, while most series sideline that, or portray it in a way where it doesn't take time from random clubs or hanging out with their friends even during the third year.
P3 remake with new engine, P3P FMC route and new FMVs would be pretty amazing. They can drop The Answer as I don't see that paying off in terms of work required vs how well it was/will be received.
Edit: I can see P6 being announced next year with 2022 release (in Japan, please be excited).
From what I've seen during my time there is actually the opposite but in a negative way. People have more things to do and aren't as close. Loads of people are typically lonely as well, unless they are in a group together like say similar college club, shared interest like studies abroad and live within the same big city.
It's actually harder to make a game around that with the now 15 year old Persona template, unless the focus is an incident and they all come together and become friends throughout a year post incident while in college.
Ah, thanks for the correction.
