Persona 6 Still has No Release Date<\/p>\n
Classification board listings tend to surface well ahead of marketing campaigns, since publishers need games rated before they can legally release in regulated markets<\/a>. Games are typically not submitted unless the publisher has reasonable confidence in the content that will ship, including violence, language, and thematic material that ratings boards evaluate.<\/p>\n ATLUS has a pattern of revealing Persona titles well before launch. Persona 5 itself was revealed three and a half years before its eventual release, so this does not necessarily mean a near-term launch. However, it does confirm that the game has reached a stage of development where its content is locked enough to submit for review to an age rating board.\u00a0<\/p>\n The M rating itself is unsurprising given the franchise’s track record. Previous mainline Persona<\/a> entries have carried similar ratings in Australia and equivalent classifications elsewhere. The series is known for mature themes, depictions of violence in combat, and other content typical of the genre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
