In an announcement post on the Pandasaurus Games website, Atlus has revealed that the game will be designed by Emerson Matsuuchi, who has also worked on other board games such as Century: Eastern Wonders and Foundations of Rome.
“Players will take on the roles of their favourite phantom thieves and fight to change the world in this cooperative card-based strategy game,” says Matsuuchi.
Pandasaurus Games says it is aiming to publish the new Persona 5 Royal card game in “Q4 of 2023” and promises more details to follow, but in an image heading the announcement article, a date in October is given. “On October 21st, 2023, we will steal your heart,” the image reads.
Further details on the format the game will take, aside from being a card-based strategy game, have not been made clear as of yet, but given Pandasaurus Games’ experience with releasing board and card games, it’s likely to be a standalone product rather than a collectible item.
