Persona 6 was given an M (Mature) rating due to potential violence, nudity, and coarse language. The game was rated on June 8, 2026.

The fact that Persona 6 has already received an official rating has fans believing the game may be coming sooner rather than later. Traditionally, games are given a rating when they're close to release. This has caused people to theorize that the game is coming in 2027, despite previous rumors that it might come out in 2028.

From what we've gathered from official store pages, the game is set in modern-day Japan and will feature the double life mechanic that the previous installments had.
