In the realm of gaming rumors, another prominent leaker has stirred the pot, suggesting that Persona 6 will make its debut on the upcoming Nintendo Switch successor console. Despite the absence of an official announcement from Atlus, speculation surrounding Persona 6 has reached a fever pitch, fueled by various leaks and insider information. Sorting through the plethora of details provided by different sources has made it challenging for fans to discern what is accurate.
Traditionally, mainline Persona games have been exclusive to PlayStation consoles. However, rumors suggest that Persona 6 will break this tradition with a multiplatform release. The Persona series began its foray into multiplatform territory around 2022-2023, with some mainline games receiving ports to various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. The latest installment, Persona 3 Reload, enjoyed a multiplatform launch on major platforms, except for the Switch. Amidst swirling rumors of a Nintendo Switch successor, a prominent leaker, Midori, claims that Persona 6 will find its home on this new console.
Midori, a respected Sega leaker known for her accurate predictions in 2023, responded to a leak from Nate the Hate regarding Persona 6’s potential launch on Xbox consoles. Confirming Nate the Hate’s information, Midori added that Persona 6 would also release on multiple platforms, including the rumored Switch 2.
Previously, Midori hinted at two other Atlus RPGs making their way to the Nintendo Switch successor: Persona 3 Reload and the upcoming Metaphor Re: Fantazio. Persona 3 Reload’s director, Takuya Yamaguchi, expressed openness to porting the game to Nintendo’s hardware if a successor console were to materialize. If Midori’s claims hold true, the Nintendo Switch 2 could boast an impressive lineup of JRPGs upon its launch.
Amidst the whirlwind of rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch successor, speculation suggests a potential release in 2025. While many reliable sources have shared insights into Nintendo’s developments, details remain inconsistent. Both Persona 6 and the Nintendo Switch successor are currently shrouded in rumor, and despite Midori’s track record of accuracy, it’s advisable to approach this information with caution until official confirmation is provided.
