Atlus has sent out a new survey to its Japanese customers. In it, they want to hear their fans’ opinions on a variety of topics, but mostly which games they want to see on which systems. The games range from sequels to remakes to re-releases to entirely new games and IPs.

A big topic is naturally the Persona series. Atlus is even asking fans about non-video game stuff here, asking whether fans would be interested in a new Persona board game. Another question is about interest in a non-RPG Persona game, such as a strategy game or a shooter. Atlus also mentions a hypothetical Persona 6. As mentioned before, fans can choose which systems they’d like to see these games on. The choices for the system include the Switch and the 3DS.

Naturally, you shouldn’t be jumping to any conclusions based on this survey. Atlus has sent out surveys like this in the past and the choices aren’t necessarily indicative of Atlus’ actual plans. Persona 6 on Switch is sure to be a popular choice, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually going to happen. For now, Persona fans can look forward to Persona Q2 on 3DS.
