The reveal announcement happened to coincide with the series' 30th anniversary, and included a short teaser with some delightfully creepy imagery. Persona 6 was first teased all the way back in 2018, when the Persona studio's chief director, Kazuhisa Wada, told Dengeki PlayStation (later translated by Persona Central) that it was working on "mid-to-long term plans, including new numbered entries."

[HEADING=1][B]Concept: The Green Theories Were Proven Correct [/B][/HEADING] Persona 6 will be set in a new location with a fresh cast of characters, and is thus unlikely to have any direct connection to previous games. Each Persona game's concept has been in part tied to specific colors (blue for P3, yellow for P4, and red for P5). The [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-3-4-and-5-were-blue-yellow-and-red-and-persona-6-will-seemingly-be-green']theory that P6 would have a ‘green’ theme[/URL] goes all the way back to a supposed leak in 2017 and a Persona 25th anniversary visual that just so happened to feature a bucket of green paint.

That said, we can work out some likelihood’s based on that release as well as how Atlus has approached previous game announcements.
