However, alongside school life will be a life full of mysterious rumors and urban legends. As plenty of players (including myself) have theorized, Persona 6 will revolve around the occult and urban legends.
As in previous installments in the franchise, players will use their Persona abilities and bonds with various characters to conquer in battle. Characters will once again awaken their Persona (or the «other self» that lies within them), and their skills will increase as their bond with the main character deepens.

The main plot and setting have since been revealed, but information regarding the characters has yet to be announced. Some leaks suggest a blonde-haired male character to be the Protagonist, while other leaks suggest the possibility of Persona’s first dual protagonist mechanic.
We will have to wait until SEGA officially discloses more details or until the next trailer comes out to have concrete information about the protagonist.
Persona 6 doesn’t have a release date, but the game is confirmed for the current generation of consoles (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5) and PC.
