Persona 5 Royal Release Date Officially Announced

Atlus has confirmed that Persona 5 Royal will launch on the 31st March 2020 in both Europe and North America. We’ve embedded its slick new trailer below. Persona 5 Royal, an expanded version of P-Studio’s 2017 release Persona 5, has been out in Japan since October 19, but will not be available to the rest of the world until next year.

A trailer below also accompanied the announcement, which showed off some of the game’s new features and additions. For those unaware, P5R is a revamped version of the original Persona 5, but it’s more than just a re-release with extra content. It incorporates a new core character named Kasumi Yoshizawa who joins the Phantom Thieves and plays a major role in the mysteries and events that unfold throughout the story, in turn recontextualizing the original narrative.

Persona 5 Royal is a much-expanded edition of the original game from 2017. Following the adventures of high school misfits in Tokyo as they attempt to reform a corrupt society, the upgraded edition out next year will feature two new characters, one of which will don a mask and join the Phantom Thieves, a full third school term, new battle and conversation animations, and more upgrades.

Persona 5 Royal won’t be the only Persona game releasing in 2020. Persona 5 Scramble, a hack-and-slash spin-off game from Koei Tecmo and Atlus, will release for the PS4 and Switch later in 2020, starring the Phantom Thieves hacking and slashing their way through hordes of monsters in a shadowy Tokyo.
