Most future games nowadays usually get leaked even before they start production because of job posts on their website. Some developer companies would try to hide this to avoid rumors and, of course, to keep everything a surprise for its fans. However, recent reports have linked a new job post to "Persona" developer, Altus.

According to Gematsu, the job advert was found on a Japanese careers site, Creator's Partner Fellow. The listing states that the company is "seeking 2D Concept Design/ Key Animation Talents!" This is supposedly for a "PS4 High-End Action Game." The one who posted also says that this is "a job for the in-house team of a long standing consumer game maker famous for its unique goddess (megami) and demon RPGs."

The company was not named in the post, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to figure out where it came from. First, there was the implication that the poster is a big-name developer in the gaming industry. Then, a simple search on where it was posted from heavily implies that the poster is Atlus, the developers of the famous "Persona" game series.

The listing was posted from Setagaya, which is exactly where Atlus is based, hence the assumption that the posting was theirs. Also, the description of the company, a "game maker famous for is unique goddess," suits Atlus. Unfortunately, since its news coverage, the advert has been removed.

However, from the what people have gathered from the listing, there are already some clues to what it is. It may be a PS4-exclusive that is getting a lot of budget given that it will be a high-end game. It has action-based elements as well, but this is uncomfirmed for now.

As for what this game exactly is and if the poster is indeed Atlus, it will be unlikely for fans to get any announcements from them.
