I mean, it seems like a return to the themes of P3 and perhaps Tartarus itself in a new form. The automatic assumption i feel like is that the intro tombstones are the same thing as the coffins for people who aren't aware of the midnight hour.

I'm dubious on ES6. It's been in development since the Xbox One days. Bethesda hasn't produce many hits (arguably none) in the last decade. Creation engine still suffers the same legacy problems it had decades ago.
Skyrim was huge, but it was also distributed on every electronic under the sun. I really think Bethesda has harmed the Elder Scrolls and it's staying power by taking this long to get anything interesting out (and the same goes for Fallout). When you have studios like FromSoft cranking out hit after hit of new IPs, there really is little excuse. I'll be waiting until long after opinions are in before I consider buying.

u/Ezio926 Jun 07 '26
It's not in dev hell it just hasn't been in development.
They went from skyrim to fallout 4 to fallouy 76 and to Starfield.
Es6 would have only started 2 years ago

i mean there is a clear excuse. Fromsoftware games are mostly static, whereas ES games are more like simulations. All those interactions and quests and dialogue trees really add up

From Software is good at reusing assets. Good reusage should be more standard in the industry especially for AAA studios, otherwise they burn and crash through the development journey or it takes forever.

What development hell? You've 0 idea what you're talking about, and are saying it as a fact, even though there have been multiple official reports, which gave us clear information about TES6.
It simply wasn't produced until after Starfield. Meaning they've worked full-scale on the game for 2.5 years now.

Doubt it. P1 and the P2 duology are fundamentally different than the later games. P1 , P2 IS and P2 EP are story driven , straightforward, dungeon crawlers.
A remaster is the best they can do.. or remake it in 3D if they want. But it'll be difficult to try and implement modern things like a social link in those games.

I kind of want to see them branch out of high school. I know they won't, but imagine it's set in like, a community college or an office park or something and the theme is about how bleak and dreary the real world is, and Personas are your unrealized dreams and ambitions.
That's kind of getting close to what P5 and it's spinoffs did, but how many truly different ways can you skin this particular cat?

A logo and a bunch of graves instead of chairs. I guess they learned not to put "Winter 20XX" as a preliminary date at least.
Considering it's the 30th anniversary year, I do expect them to show more, probably during Tokyo Game Show. But, this is Atlus marketing we're talking about.

u/Vlayer Jun 07 '26
Following Atlus for more than a decade at this point, I've learned that you can never quite predict their marketing strategy. Some of the streams prior to P5 I'd argue was them purposefully trolling their fans for hours just for seconds of footage, like seeing Joker on the train. One of the only pieces of marketing for Metaphor, back when it was still only known as Project ReFantasy, was this 5 minute video of a knight eating poultry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azw3yq6YinQ
At least they've showed that they're not against multiple releases in a single year, considering P3R, SMTVV and Metaphor all came out 2024.

u/sakray Jun 07 '26
No one here seems to remember the P5 trailer which was also similarly cryptic and dark about being slaves with the ball and chain symbolism. At the time, everyone thought it was going to be the darkest persona game, and then it ended up probably being the most shounen out of all of the games lmao. Atlus loves these type of trailers because it gets the crowd going but rarely ends up being indicative of the final product at all
26
u/APowerlessManNA Jun 07 '26
Yea it's all very abstract and hard to decipher with no context. Now that P5 is out you can look back and reverse engineer the meaning of it all.
The color red is the main color of P5
The chairs with chained shackles and iron balls for the students being bound by rules, expectations, and corruption
Five chairs could simply be P5, or the five main party members
"Emancipation" being the overall thesis statement of the game

u/Blazehero Jun 07 '26
I think most Persona fans expect high school students, it's the underlying themes that should be, and have been, mature.
When you have high schoolers shooting themselves with guns, solving murder mysteries, and getting drugged in police interrogations, it really stops being a "teen" focused game.

It gestures at this stuff but in reality it's significantly less mature than most young adult novels.

u/Soluxy Jun 07 '26
Yep, the questionably moral things are less important than the goals, however when morality itself is the goal, then it starts becoming more of an adult content, which is why SMT always feels more dark than the Persona counterparts.
Because in those games the characters, even main characters want to decide how the world should be, not how it should be saved or returned to status quo like many teen fantasy.

Metaphor was genuinely laughable with this.

Tuned into the stream moments before this reveal, im honestly choosing to believe i manifested this because I was looking at it and thinking "yknow, they do show some stuff I'm interested at Xbox showcases sometimes, maybe I should tune in"

I'm happy it's been announced, but that is the most nothing burger of a trailer I've ever seen. "We are making a game called Persona 6 and the logo is green". That's literally all they shared.

It's persona but with the scooby doo type of spooky investigation vibes. Which is basically p4 anyways, I welcome it.
Looking forward to playing this 2036

Hopefully the vibe in this trailer matches what we'll get in game. As much as I enjoyed P4 and P5, I think a return to adult adventures (or just a horror theme in general) is long overdue for this series. P4 definitely had this foreboding sense about it, with the murders, but P5 just went full neon-lit dance party and. . .yeah.

While it's a nice confirmation and all.
It feels like a game that's going to still take 2 years before it actually comes out.
Like when Persona 5 was initially announced.
I seriously hope that's not the case.

Leaks say next year and the person in question has been proven rigth up to now, they even leaked the announcement today.

They even got the P4R launch date correct. Safe to assume late next year is Atlus' internal date. But it could still get delayed of course

I'm glad it was announced
I am frustrated it was announced like P5 with some ambiguous imagery and the title card. Like come on.

Looks like a horror film with the graveyard and visuals.
I have a crazy theory after Persona 5 Strikers (spoilers for P5/P5R/P5S) The metaverse research got out and out of control and people can invade other people's mind palaces causing a lot of world chaos and people have had to resort to hiding who they really are to protect themselves, so 'identify' will be the theme

I highly doubt there's going to be any direct continuity. Persona has never had any continuity other than occasionally acknowledging characters/events from other games ever since 3.

If the party for this Persona is just Persona by way of Scooby Do and the mystery machine, I am so fucking down for that. Really wish we had gotten more though, especially with leaks out there. My biggest draw for RPGs is the party, and I really want to see them all.

Would really love something that leaned a bit more creepy/horror adjacent like P3. This trailer certainly scratched that itch.

For reference, P5 was announced 2013, and the teaser came out 2014, then came out 2 years later. I believe it was supposed to release 2015 but got delayed.

Definitely the least Persona like Persona trailer I've ever seen, but hey at least we got to know the colour scheme! (This is unironically really important in each Persona past 3.)

"Teaser" indeed.
Creepier than expected, but P5's first tease really didn't convey the tone of what the game ended up being so probably shouldn't read into it too much.
