Persona 5 Royal releases sometime next year in North America and Europe, and it seems like the game will be released in what probably is the worst possible month.
In the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, as reported by Persona Central, series character designer Shigenori Soejima revealed that Persona 5 Royal will be released in North America and Europe in March 2020.

All JRPG fans can see why March 2020 is not the best time to release Persona 5 Royal, as Final Fantasy VII Remake launches in the same month, and the Square Enix game is definitely going to be the first choice of game for many for the month. Still, the release date has yet to be confirmed officially, so we must take this with a grain of salt until an official confirmation comes in.
Persona 5 Royale will come with new content, such as new events and a new school semester, as well as many gameplay tweaks that will improve the experience, a Challenge mode and more.
- Baton Touch ranks have been introduced.
- Leveling ranks increases the offensive and beneficial effects of the Baton Touch.
- Make full use of skills that cannot be inherently learned by equipping accessories that grant the use of skills.
- Characteristics have been added to each persona in Persona 5 Royal with attributes such as SP consumption for skills decreased, skill damage increased, etc.
- A new cooperative technique called “Show Time” has been introduced.
- “Show Time” is a special performance where teammates combine their strength. As their bonds deepen, they will begin to produce new techniques.
- Makoto Niijima and Haru Okumura’s “Show Time” is a cooperation skill based around female professional wrestling.
