An updated version of the game released in 2019 called Royal, which incidentally is coming tonew platforms this month. Royal is the expanded version of the original game, which added new characters, enemies, locations and further content.
The card game adaptation will be developed by Century: Eastern Wonders and Foundations of Rome designer Emerson Matsuuchi. According to Matsuuchi the Persona 5: Royal card game will let players “take on the roles of their favorite Phantom Thieves and fight to change the world in this cooperative card-based strategy game.” Co-owner of Pandasaurus Games Nathan McNair also shared that the tabletop will feature all the exciting locations of the game including the Palaces:

Emerson Matsuuchi has taken on the role of designer for the Persona 5 royal card game. Matsuuchi has previously worked on the likes of Spectre Ops and Reef. More details are expected to release soon. With this lineup we should be in for some cool and stylish-looking cards, especially if it follows suit (pardon the pun) with the turn-based game.
