Persona 5 might just be the most stylish game in existence, and as you'd expect, enhanced re-release Persona 5 Royal is looking every bit as amazing -- if not moreso, now that it's exclusive to the PlayStation 4. Atlus has released a bunch of screenshots from the upcoming title, so naturally, we've absolutely plastered this article with them.
The new shots show a bunch of different gameplay elements, from battles to social interactions. Speaking of which, Persona 5 Royal features a load of new dialogue scenes that take place between members of the Phantom Thieves. Based on what we've seen of them so far in trailers, you can expect plenty of wacky scenarios.
Persona 5 Royal is due to release on the 31st October in Japan. A vague 2020 release window has been attached to the Western launch, but we can't imagine that it'll be too far away. Are you looking forward to it? Get up, get out there in the comments section below.

I like this one best š
I thought Dragon Quest XI was well better than this.
@ApostateMage I absolutely adore DQXI (both it and Persona 5 are easily two of my favourite RPGs ever), but I think the sheer style and swagger of Persona 5 is very, very difficult to top.
@ShogunRok What good is style and swagger when you're on a curfew from a cat?! I do like those menus, though.
@Frigate I still need to play NNK2. Loved the first game and enjoyed the demo of the second but I just keep forgetting about it. Next sale, I'm buying it. Promise.
I'm glad I haven't played my persona 5 copy, I can go straight to royal edition
Make Sammy review this.
@Splat After Sammy tanks the Metacritic score we'll never get another Atlus game to review ever again.
@ApostateMage True. I mean the P5's menus are nice but I think a lot of games have stylish menus too, like Dishonored 2, Detroit BH, RDR2, Sniper Elite 4, but P5's gets overpraised sometimes.
@Frigate That is a surprise. Just got the plat in NNK2. It was fine, but i thought it cut far too many corners and was a backwards step over the first game (which is one of my fave games ever)
Too many fetch quests, hardly any variety in enemy types, very easy, and the lack of voice over was really disapointing (i wouldnt have minded if it was all text boxes, but the few lines of dialogue, then reverting to text really jarred)
It was beautiful to look at though. Hopefully the 3rd game can recapture the magic for me!
Really glad you enjoyed it though š
For me, NNK2 and DQ11 are 5 or 6/10 games at best. I had hoped to really dig both of them but they didn't do it for me.
More dialogue? Hell no. I tried to like P5, I really did but the sheer amount of utterly pointless dialogue combined with the glacial pacing absolutely kills the game for me.
Somehow they've managed to make it look even more stylish than the original Persona 5.
Can't wait to be a Phantom thief again, I really don't like having duplicate Platinum's for the same game but Persona 5 will be the exception (Catherine will be the second exception!).
@TheArt RDR2 has great style for itās menuāās, but the detail and way it all comes together with P5ās menus in way other game scant compete with. The way letters curve, things are sideways, the movement as you switch menus, and way characters are used combined with the sheer confidence in the swagger they manage to instill in even menus canāt be praised enough.
@Frigate I dunno what it is! I donāt know if Iāve grown out of (or just gone off) the genre tropes, or if JRPGs just arenāt as good as they used to be.
But since I absolutely loved Xenoblade Chronicles 2 iād have to say itās more a problem with those particular games than the genre as a whole...
@Frigate this b1tch got taste
@Shigurui So you hated the game for one of the things that is loved most? Iām sorry.
@dskatter - I never said I hated the game, in fact when it lets you actually play it I think it's brilliant. The problem for me is it takes 200 lines of dialogue to say something that only requires 2.
@thebakerswife - I think I put about 40 hours into it before I just couldn't go on, there's a great game in there somewhere but way too much unnecessary filler between the good bits for my liking.
@Jaz007 Well it's pretty but I think others like the ones I mentioned impress me more.
