In anticipation of the Western launch of Persona 5 Royal, the revamped version of the original RPG, developer Atlus put out a new teaser reintroducing the main cast, aka The Phantom Thieves. In the trailer (see below), you can catch glimpses of some extra features in the game including the addition of partner attacks and the new core character Kasumi Yoshizawa.
Kasumi plays a significant role in P5R as she’s involved in the central mystery, affecting many aspects of the original story. She has her own dedicated scenes and persona named Cendrillon, which relates to her background. What’s more, there’s an extra palace tied to her backstory. You can see a bit of it in the trailer, and it seems to be themed around an opera house, alluding to her talents as a rhythmic gymnast and ballet dancer.
You’ll also notice all-new partner attacks where a duo will lay down heavy damage on enemies when initiated. These get wild, too: Morgana turns into a bus to let Haru launch grenades before crashing into enemies, and Ryuji and Yusuke lay waste to enemies for interrupting their meal at a ramen bar. They look absolutely absurd, but they lean into the lavish style Persona 5 was known for. Another small addition you can catch is that Futaba gets her own all-out attack animation and battle-finishing artwork.
