If the rumors are true, the Japanese company may take the same path that Ubisoft did with Assassin's Creed, and Microsoft may soon reach a dead end with Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty.
Assassin's Creed was released annually, and the quality of the games eventually suffered, so Ubisoft reconsidered the whole thing. Call of Duty is also on a similar path (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III wasn't so bright…), but those stories don't stop SEGA from making Like A Dragon, formerly known as Yakuza, Persona, and Sonic. It should also be expanded with one new game every year. This was reported by Midori, a suspiciously knowledgeable insider, on Twitter:
“SEGA's current plan is to create annual Like a Dragon, Persona, and Sonic franchises through new titles, remakes, remasters, DLC expansions, and other media. I believe this is undisclosed information, but that does not mean that a new numbered Persona title will be released every year. Renders are considered The sub will also release new titles in the quality of the Persona series because it has been developing several titles simultaneously over several years. The current phase of Persona began development in 2019. “The current phase includes Persona 6, Persona 3 Reload, and Persona 3 Reload,” Midori wrote. 5 Tactica, and Persona 5: The Phantom
But this does not mean that a new numbered personal address is issued every year.
Spin-offs also count as new titles.

The quality of the Persona series should not change.
Because multiple titles are developed at the same time over several years. The current stage of the character entered development in 2019. The current stage is P6, P3R, P5T, and P5X.

According to Midori, Like A Dragon, Persona, and Sonic are the three main pillars of SEGA in terms of brands, so these are the three IPs the Japanese company wants to lean on. Persona and Like A Dragon have been multi-layered games so far and have become mainstream in recent years. Persona 6 has not yet been announced, and is rumored to feature two main characters and a lot of customizable content (DLC).
This is correct information.
Like Dragon, Persona and Sonic are called Sega's flagship brands.
