Atlus revealed that the official title of Persona 5 R is Persona 5 The Royal through a trailer that features a mysterious new female character standing in Shibuya Square. It appears that the redhead, who is also a student at Shujin Academy, will be an antagonist to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
Atlus released a new trailer for the upcoming game previously known as Persona 5 R, revealing that it will be titled Persona 5 The Royal and will feature a new female character.
The trailer was rolled out after Stars and Ours, a special episode of Persona 5: The Animation that features the final battle between the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and the politician Masayoshi Shido. It reveals the game’s official title, and it appears to be a PlayStation 4 exclusive just like Persona 5.
Atlus said in December that it would reveal information about a new project in March, and while the developer did not specifically mention the Persona 5 R title, it was taken from the game’s official website.
