Originally a spinoff series from the Shin Megami Tensei series, Persona has arguably become the more popular and known name among gamers. This series set itself apart by combining the monster-catching elements of the best Pokémon games with a deep and satisfying turn-based combat system. But the real kicker is the engrossing story and lovable characters you spend so many hours with. Now that we’re several years out from Persona 5, and even from the Royal edition, everyone is looking toward the next entry in one of the best JRPG series out there. Let’s level up our Social Links and share all the information we have about Persona 6.

Release date speculation

Persona 3 Reload Cast
Atlus

Atlus and Sega haven’t given any indication on when Persona 6 could be released. Some rumors and leaks suggest it could be within the next two years, but there’s no way to be sure. The only thing we have regarding Persona 6 is an interview for Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight where series producer Kazuhisa Wada stated: “We are working on mid-to-long term plans, including new numbered entries, so that fans can constantly enjoy the Persona series starting next year.”

Platforms

The Persona series used to be exclusive to PlayStation, but new entries have all come to most every platform, and we expect that to continue with Persona 6. There’s a chance it might be a timed exclusive for PlayStation, but it seems safe to say Atlus will bring it to every platform eventually.

Trailers

Sorry, but there’s no footage or even concept art of Persona 6 in the wild.

Gameplay

New Persona games will make some changes to the formula, but it shouldn’t be drastically different than Persona 5. You can expect turn-based battles, demon negotiation and fusing, some calendar system, and a host of characters to bond with.

Preorder

It will be a long time before Persona 6 preorders show up. Check back here for when more information shows up, and we’ll keep you up to date.

GTA 6 delay is good for the game, but that doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed
GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been officially delayed until May 26, 2026, and while that's a bummer for fans who hoped to play this year, it's probably good news for the game itself.

In its explanation for the delay, Rockstar Games said, "With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve."

Rockstar has announced GTA 6 is delayed, while revealing the new release date the hotly anticipated game will actually be available.

The GTA 6 release date is set for May 26, 2026 - which is a considerable time after the original 'Fall 2025' timeframe we were given in the first GTA VI trailer which dropped way back in December 2023.

Tron: Catalyst has all the right sci-fi ingredients so far
A light cycle moves through a street in Tron: Catalyst.

In 2023, the Tron series got a video game that I never saw coming, but instantly adored. Tron: Identity ditched light cycles and identity disc battle for a hard sci-fi visual novel by Bithell Games. The small scale project was a creative use of Disney's world, drilling in on its cyber noir elements rather than its action. It was up my alley, but a harder sell for Tron enthusiasts who were hoping for a more traditional action-adventure game. Bithell Games is set to deliver that on June 17 with Tron: Catalyst.

Published by Big Fan, the project is set to give fans of the films a little wish fulfillment this time around. Discs fly and wheels spin in a game that has the same tone as Identity, but placed into a slightly larger shell. Ahead of its summer release, I played through Catalyst's first hour, taking me through two of its chapters. So far, it retains the writing strengths of Identity, but with more to do in the Arq Grid. I'm not sure if that bigger scope makes for a better game yet, but all the right pieces are there to make for a solid Tron game with most of the fixings.
