It looks likePersona 6will release across multiple platforms at once.
InSegaSammy’squarterly earnings Q&Awith investors (as reported byPersona Central), the company’s president Haruki Atami teased plans for the next main Persona game, specifically regarding achievable sales targets for the next main game in the series.
“We believe that it would be possible for a major Personatitle, such as a numbered release, to sell 5 million copies in its first year by releasing it on multiple platforms and simultaneously worldwide from day one,” the Sega Sammy representative director said.
That question specifically came from an angle about a Persona game one day selling five million copies in a single year. No Persona game has ever achieved this, and Atami clearly believes that it can only be achieved by a main Persona game debuting across multiple platforms at once.
So if Sega wants Persona 6 to sell as well as possible in its first year (which it obviously does), it’s going to need to release it on multiple platforms at the same time. This looks to be the direction for Persona 6 when it eventually launches, going by Atami’s comments.
This would’ve been unthinkable for Persona games in past years, but it’s now become the new standard for developer Atlus. Persona 5 Royal is now on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo systems, while spin-offPersona 5 Tacticawill launch across all platforms simultaneously tomorrow on November 17.
