It’s a very long shot, but Persona 6 on PSVR could one day be a thing.
Series developer Atlus recently launched a survey for its Japanese fans. The questionnaire wants to know all the usual things about your gaming habits. But one of the later questions is raising eyebrows. It essentially asks what new Persona games you’d like to see in the future and on which platforms. There are ideas like text adventure spin-offs and board games. Most excitingly, though, there’s mention of a ‘Completely new ‘Persona 6”. You can tell Atlus you want it on PSVR as well as other platforms like PC and Switch.
No doubt most people are excited about the possibility of getting the series on Switch. But, for us, the mention of PSVR is tantalizing. The Persona series is one of the most popular RPGs around. It’s known for its incredible anime style and eclectic cast of characters. The thought of combining those elements with VR has our hearts racing.
Still, we wouldn’t hold our breath. Questionnaires like this are merely designed to gauge interest. There’d have to be an overwhelming number of votes on the PSVR side to get Atlus to consider making the game in VR, no doubt. It also doesn’t confirm Persona 6 is even in development, just that it’s a mere possibility.
This wouldn’t be Persona’s first VR outing, though. The game’s recent dancing spin-offs include add-on PSVR modes. They allow you to watch characters dance for your pleasure. It’s not the most exciting use of the medium to say the least.
