ATLUS announced a partnership with Pandasaurus Games to publish a new Persona 5 Royal card game by Emerson Matsuuchi (Century: Eastern Wonders, Foundations of Rome).
The Persona 5 Royal card game adaptation releases on October 21, 2023, roughly one year after the multiplatform release of the game. More details will be announced at a later date.
“Players will take on the roles of their favorite Phantom Thieves and fight to change the world in this cooperative card-based strategy game,” Matsuuchi said.
“As a diehard fan of Persona 5 Royal – I cannot wait to bring the Palaces, Velvet Room and world of Persona 5 Royal onto tabletops everywhere in 2023,” Pandasaurus Games co-owner Nathan McNair said.
