Persona 5: Royal releases in 2020 for the west, gets first details



The Phantom Thieves are back to take your heart, in Persona 5: Royal, which is set to launch on October 31 in Japan, and 2020 in the west. A Japanese trailer show new gameplay, with a new character, bonus cutscenes, and additional elements that were not in the original game. The new character's name is Kasumi Yoshizawa, a transfer student that hates the Phantom Thieves. In the press release, it mentions that there will be an entire extra school semester added to the game, which will allow you to go to never before seen areas to raise your skills or take your confidants to. Another new character, Takuto Maruki was also revealed, who has the role of being the school counselor. As for Persona 5: S, information on that game will be available tomorrow. Persona 5: Royal will be available on the PlayStation 4, and will be enhanced for PS4 Pro users.



Just announced at the Persona Super Live P-Sound Street 2019 concert in Tokyo, Persona 5 Royal expands on the extraordinary world of Persona 5,introducing a host of new characters, gameplay features, and diving deeper into the personal lives, as well as the trials and tribulations, of the enigmatic (and exceedingly-stylish) Phantom Thieves. Players will even get to experience an all-new third semester at Shujin Academy that's never been seen before!

Why don't atlus release this as a standalone dlc instead of a enhanced version of P5. Anyways still looking foward to this.

Because like Persona 4 Golden, there's probably more than just simple tweaks going on. Persona 5: Royal most likely rewrites the P5 canon (to include the new characters, etc.), so scenes from the story, pacing, cutscenes, and many other things are likely to be redone from scratch.

And now to wait and see whether the P5:R anime will be mostly filler (like Persona 4: Golden The Animation, since it was only about the new content, mostly the new side activities; the OP music was great though) or if they'll actually bother to redo the whole thing + the new side activities, since Kasumi seems to be a playable character, unlike Marie who was just an NPC. (Unless you count P4AU, where you could play as her via DLC and smack people with her bag/purse.)

As this is going to be PS4 Pro enhanced I'll definitely be picking it up. I currently only have the PS3 release, and didn't consider the PS4 version to be an upgrade (as it was developed as a PS3 title, the PS4 only had negligible tweaks)...
...shame we've got to wait until sometime next year, but I'm okay with that.
The ps4 version has better performance and no screen tearing, but the ps3 version isnt bad either.

It doesn't cost them any more to release it as a new version of the same game, but they can charge full price for it.

It kind of is ridiculous how much they're supporting each individual game in the franchise. As much as I'm excited they're releasing the more "complete" version of the game, I kind of just want them to go and just focus on the next game, a spinoff (Raidou Kuzunoha, maybe a new SMT spin-off?), and be done with it. Persona 1 and both Persona 2s came out within 5 years of their original release dates, for Christ's sakes!

Wouldn't suprise me if Persona 5 S will be Persona 5: The Royal for Switch.

You're being awfully optimistic. I'm just going to assume that, like they did with us PC players with Catherine, they'll give us just the vanilla version of Persona 5 on Switch, and that the exclusive stuff is Sony-only, also the same platform that wouldn't mind censoring Mara if it could.

If anyone has played tokyo xanadu ex plus. (Enhanced edition of the vita version for ps4). Falcom added additional characters, more dungeons and a very long after story. It's kind of crazy but worked well. Atlus will most likely do the same. P5S is either a fighting game or a NSW version.

Have read that p5s is gonna be a fighting game, the s being for stadium, which is going to be released on both switch and ps4.

So, either way, dont get too hyped for a main persona game on a nintendo platform, and if it magically happens, it still going to be the vanilla version :rofl2:

If you still expect tomorrow's announcement to be a Switch port, I'm 90% sure you're setting yourself up for disappointment. S can mean many things that aren't Switch, and specifically porting the inferior version of the game is just weird - let alone announcing the inferior version AFTER the improved one.
