Persona 5 Royal May Mean Persona 6’s Theme Has to Go Big or Go Home

Persona 6, while unannounced, is one of the most highly anticipated JRPGs right now. The franchise has been around for over 20 years, but Persona 5 was the game that launched it into the mainstream. What was once a niche series became genre defining over the course of the game’s release window, and seven years later, P5 is still setting the standard for turn based combat. Persona 5 and its enhanced re-release Persona 5 Royal launched the series to new heights because they amped up every element of the series formula. Persona 6 will need to do the same in order to surpass its predecessor.
