Atlus has officially announced that Persona 6 is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, revealing the project during a Nintendo Direct broadcast.
The announcement confirms that the next mainline entry in the long-running Persona series will be available both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide, although the publisher did not provide a specific release date or window.
The Persona franchise, known for blending daily-life simulation with supernatural role-playing elements, has been a cornerstone of Atlus's catalog for over two decades.
Persona 6 represents the next major entry for the JRPG series, coming to Nintendo's next-generation hardware following the franchise's recent presence on Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
In a press release accompanying the Nintendo Direct reveal, Atlus framed Persona 6 as a fresh, standalone chapter in the series.
The publisher said the new title will carry forward the series' signature combination of everyday life moments and high-stakes supernatural conflict while centering on a completely new story and cast of characters.
Atlus emphasized that Persona 6 is intended to welcome both longtime fans and newcomers to the series.
Trailers and screenshots were shown as part of the Direct presentation, giving viewers a first look at the game's tone and visual direction.
Atlus confirmed that the title will be sold at retail and distributed digitally through the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide.
Beyond that confirmation, Atlus has not released additional details such as platform-specific features, exact launch timing, or pricing.
This announcement marks a high-profile reveal for Nintendo Switch 2 during Nintendo's showcase, and it continues Atlus's recent trend of bringing major Persona releases to Nintendo platforms.
The company has not yet outlined pre-order plans or collector editions for Persona 6.
Reporting on the Nintendo Direct was led by industry journalist Alex Seedhouse, who has specialized in Nintendo coverage for 16 years and has reported from events including E3 and gamescom.
Seedhouse has led multi-generation coverage of Nintendo hardware and software and is a Metacritic-approved critic whose reviews have influenced critical conversations around dozens of games.
Atlus is expected to share more information about Persona 6 in future updates; fans can watch for follow-up announcements from the publisher and Nintendo regarding release timing and additional platform details.
