While some will be enjoying Haloween on October 31, others like me are planning to stay home and enjoy Persona 5 Royal, releasing on that day in Japan. As we're getting closer and closer to release, Japanese shops started displaying sample packaged version of the game, giving us a look at the backside of the case. The interesting thing revealed with that is how Persona 5 Royal's install is around 30 GB. This is 10GB more than the original Persona 5.

This makes a lot of sense seeing all the new additions of the game. Well, none of these additions are a huge surprise. Like, Kasumi didn't turn out to be a female protagonist for example. But we still have things like My Palace mode or the new playable part and Palace, so Atlus seems to be delivering us a good enhanced version. Anyway, I'll be sharing my impressions of Persona 5 Royal in an editorial soon after release, so stay tuned.

PS4 exclusive Persona 5 Royal launches in Spring 2020 in the west, possibly in March.

Atlus scheduled a special live stream on October 30, at 1900 JST (click here for time conversions) to wait for Persona 5 Royal‘s launch at midnight JST.

We're also getting news on the Switch, PS4 Musou game Persona 5 Scramble on October 24.
