Atlus·Released Oct 31, 2019·Single player
An enhanced version of Persona 5 with some new characters and a third semester added to the game. Released Internationally in 2020.
By refining what was already great and building on its best qualities with a brilliant new story arc, Persona 5 Royal asserts itself as an unforgettable and empowering RPG.
The past and future king of JRPGs steals our hearts again.
It's a great intro: protagonist Joker darting along the casino roof, quick like a shadow. Making fast work of a handful…
Slightly more sensitive, still fantastic
Persona 5 Royal improves upon what was already one of the greatest RPGs of this generation. The entirely new semester -- Royal's headline act -- is a fantastic addition, but really, it's the countless smaller improvements to gameplay and structure that sell this enhanced re-release, especially if you've already played through Persona 5. Our only criticism is aimed at the price tag -- full retail at launch -- but ultimately, it's difficult to deny the quality on offer here. The Phantom Thieves are back, and their tale of rebellion rings truer than ever.
Whether you're looking to replay Persona 5 or experience the Phantom Thieves' adventure for the first time, Royal is your best bet.
