About Persona 5 Royal
Persona 5 Royal is an enhanced version of the turn-based role-playing game Persona 5, set in modern-day Tokyo. Players control a high school student who leads a group of secret vigilantes called the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, exploring supernatural dungeons called Palaces to change the hearts of corrupt adults. The game combines dungeon crawling and turn-based combat with social simulation elements, where players manage daily activities, build relationships, and develop character statistics across a school year. Royal adds new characters, a third semester, an additional Palace, new music, and expanded story content to the original game.
A high school student arrives in Tokyo after being put on probation for a crime he did not commit. Forced to transfer to Shujin Academy and live under the watch of a family friend, he discovers a hidden world called the Metaverse, where the distorted desires of corrupt adults manifest as physical realms. Together with a group of fellow outcasts who share his ability to awaken Personas, manifestations of their inner selves, he forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Operating under the codename Joker, the protagonist leads his team into the Palaces of those who abuse their power, stealing the source of their corruption and forcing them to confess their crimes. As the Phantom Thieves' notoriety grows and they attract both public adoration and dangerous enemies, a deeper conspiracy emerges, one that threatens not only their freedom but the will of society itself.
