Persona\u00a0<\/em>fans have a lot of questions for Atlus about\u00a0Persona 6<\/em><\/strong>. The form of\u00a0Persona 6<\/em><\/a> is largely in question, considering how many people fell in love with\u00a0Persona 5.<\/em> Some fans would rather see Atlus come up with another game using the Phantom Thieves than start over again with a new storyline. For another thing, fans want to know simply when\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> is supposed to come out. It could still be a long way out, since Atlus has had plenty of other\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>projects come out recently. However, it’s 2021, and that means Atlus is celebrating\u00a0Persona<\/em>‘s 25th anniversary. Many fans are crossing their fingers and hoping to at least see\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> revealed.<\/p>\n

However, there’s one more important detail of\u00a0Persona 6<\/em><\/a> that fans would love to know about, even if it’s not as frequently the topic of debate. Fans want to know what console or consoles\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> will be available on. Some speculate that\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> will be a PS5 exclusive so that Atlus can make its graphics and performance far more intense than any previous entry, as so many other developers are doing. The\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>franchise might actually lose more than it gains if its next entry turned out to be a\u00a0PS5 exclusive, though. The franchise’s surge of success would respond best to keeping the next game as accessible as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

For a long time now,\u00a0Persona<\/em> fans have been optimistic that\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> will show up on the PS4. That’s in large part due to a survey Atlus put out in 2019, asking fans what platforms they’d like to see Atlus games come to in the future, both new games and remakes.\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> stuck out like a sore thumb to survey takers, and the mere mention of the game got a lot of people excited. The context certainly seemed to imply that Atlus was open to the idea of\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> being available<\/a> on many platforms, which is striking, considering how the franchise has been largely confined to PlayStations in recent history.<\/p>\n

If Atlus is considering making the game a PS5 exclusive now, though, it can’t be blamed for at least considering that. The PS5 is a big hit<\/a>, and it’s already proven to be an extremely powerful console. Even though the PS5 is well stocked with big games, both released and upcoming,\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>currently has the clout to make a splash as a PS5 exclusive. Many fans dream of seeing a\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>game running smoothly at a crisp 60 FPS, so Atlus certainly wouldn’t be hurting for a market if\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> was exclusive to a next-gen console.<\/p>\n

However, if it did that, it would go against the entire spirit of the survey it recently offered its fans. Atlus wouldn’t put out a survey like that if it wasn’t interested in figuring out the best ways to deliver content to its fans. It’s probably realized by now that not every\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>fan has a PS5 or is planning to invest in one yet, so many fans would probably be disgruntled by a PS5 exclusive\u00a0Persona 6,<\/em> rather than excited about it. After all, it’s hard to be excited about a game that one can’t play. Fans have been asking Atlus for more access to\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>games<\/a> a lot lately, and PS5 exclusivity would fly in the face of those hopes.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Not only would\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> on PS5 only hurt fans, but it would defy the message Atlus has recently been sending in terms of platforms it’s willing to put\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>games on. Many fans would like to see\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>games come to PC, for instance, so the community was delighted when Atlus announced a\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em> remaster<\/a> that was coming to Steam. That defied all previous convention of\u00a0Persona<\/em> games, and made many fans optimistic for\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> on PC. Atlus followed up\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em> with the multi-platform\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers,<\/em> which is available on PS4, PC, and Switch. That broad range makes\u00a0Persona<\/em> content available to tons of different fans.<\/p>\n

The pattern established by\u00a0Persona 4 Golden\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers<\/em> would suggest<\/a> that Atlus wants to be on more platforms. It seems like it took notes from the survey it put out and realized there’s a lot to be gained from making its games available to as many potential fans as possible. The more consoles that\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> is playable on, the more potential buyers Atlus has.\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> brought in a lot of fans, but it’s also raised\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>awareness in general and might convince those who haven’t played\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> to get into the franchise with\u00a0Persona 6.<\/em> Atlus can reach more of these possible players by broadening its horizons.<\/p>\n

Atlus has built up so much momentum for\u00a0Persona<\/em> that it shouldn’t suddenly take a gamble like next-gen exclusivity. It’s discovered that fans are happy to be able to play\u00a0Persona<\/em> games on the platform of their choice, and it’s making tons of money to boot. Fans would be really disappointed to see Atlus go back on its apparent initiative to make\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>games more widely available, and odds are Atlus would struggle to find the sales its hoping for. The PS5’s specs are tempting<\/a>, but it can’t carry\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> all on its own.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Of course, none of this should stop Atlus from considering making a PS5 version of\u00a0Persona 6<\/em>. Just because the game would suffer from being next-gen only doesn’t mean Atlus shouldn’t take a stab as a next-gen game at all. Plenty of other studios are making both PS4 and PS5 versions of their games right now, and there’s no reason Atlus can’t do the same. That way\u00a0Persona<\/em> lovers without the new console can still keep up with the franchise, and those who have secured a PS5 can enjoy\u00a0Persona 6<\/em>\u00a0as a top-of-the-line experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fact remains that\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> will suffer if it’s only on the PS5, as will the\u00a0Persona\u00a0<\/em>fan community. It’s just not the practical thing to do for the franchise right now. Atlus promised last year that 2021 would be huge for\u00a0Persona<\/em>, as anyone would expect out of a franchise’s 25th anniversary. It remains to be seen just what Atlus has in store to celebrate the occasion. Even though there’s no sign yet of it coming out soon, fans will keep hoping that\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> is on the cards from the near future. If it is, hopefully Atlus does what’s best<\/a> for its fans and its booming franchise and chooses many platforms to bring\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> to.<\/p>\n

Persona 6<\/em><\/strong> is rumored to be in development.<\/p>\n
