Persona 5 Royal is Almost Here, Find Out What's New in This Version

Persona 5 Royal is almost here: on the 31st March players will be revisiting the streets of Tokyo and stealing hearts with their band of Phantom Thieves. What differentiates this release from the plain old Persona 5 though? It's on the same platform after all, is it worth a purchase for you? Read on for the highlights of Royal:

• Kasumi, a new party member has been added.
• The story has been expanded with a whole new semester (complete with an additional Palace).
• A bonus content 'Museum' in the form of the 'Thieves Den'.
• Brand new cutscenes.
• Kichijoji, a massive, all-new explorable locations has been created with its own sights and activities.
• Two new fully fleshed-out confidants, with existing confidants receiving additional social scenes.
• New in-game events and holidays.
• New Personas, weapons, enemies, armour and items.
• Two more potential endings.
• Roughly 30 more music tracks.

On top of this, countless gameplay changes and tweaks are set to improve the Persona 5 experience in Royal. It's clear that this is more than a re-release: real effort has been put into overhauling the entire experience.
