I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Persona 3 and Persona 4 were two of the best PS2 games of this generation. That’s partially because the PS2 is a last-gen system, though Atlus developers haven’t been willing to let it go just yet. As awesome as Persona 4 and the recent Devil Summoner 2 were, many fans of Atlus games—particularly those in the Shin Megami Tensei series—have hoped to see the next title in this franchise make the jump to the PS3 or 360. This may be something Atlus is considering as well, because their internal development studio is now looking for PS3 and 360 programmers. According to Siliconera, Atlus is looking for those who are interested in game development (obviously) and have worked on a role-playing game for the PS3 or 360 in the past (intriguing).

This isn’t the first time there have been rumblings of Atlus bringing their flagship franchise to the next generation, but it seems to add fuel to the fire. I know what I’m hoping: Persona 5 will be coming to the PS3 or 360, and hopefully within the next few years.
