As part of the latest 4Gamer New Year’s interview discussing 2025 plans with various developers, Persona 5 Tactica Director Naoya Maeda and SMT V and SMT V Vengeance Producer Shinjiro Takata teased new unannounced Atlus games. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
When asked what are their plans for the next year 2025, Maeda said that he’s sorry for not being able to give any details about the game he’s currently working on, but that he’s confident that players will enjoy it. Meanwhile, Takata said he hopes to be able to announce a new title as soon as possible.
The developers gave no more details or comments about the unannounced Atlus games. Takata’s body of work within Atlus has mainly focused on the Shin Megami Tensei series, while Maeda is part of P-Studio and has mostly worked on games belonging to the Persona series. With this in mind, the words of both Atlus veterans might be a hint that they are working on separate unannounced SMT and Persona games during 2025.
In addition to the aforementioned titles, Maeda worked as lead designer in Persona 5 and was a designer on the Persona Q series, with Takata acting as the Producer of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and working as Director and Producer of the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor sub-series.
In the December 2023 version of the 4Gamer interview, Soul Hackers 2 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Director Eiji Ishida teased another unannounced Atlus game. As of writing this, we still don’t know what this game is, or if it is related to the titles that Maeda and Takata are working on.
