Among the many executive producers are the “Stranger Things” team of Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and Robert Atwood. Also onboard are Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson who are all working on the “Tomb Raider” and “Life is Strange” TV shows for Amazon. SEGA’s Toru Nakahara is also onboard.

Atlus’ P-Studios publishes the game series with “Persona 6” confirmed to be in the works. The next release is “Persona 4 Revival” due out in February 2027.
