Persona 5 Royal will launch in the West sometime in 2020, Atlus has announced. The company has also revealed the English voice talent behind two of Persona 5 Royal's central characters.

Laura Post will voice new playable character Kasumi Yoshizawa. Post's previous work includes voicing Ahri in League of Legends, Harley Quinn in Batman: The Enemy Within, and Laura Victoriano in The Evil Within. Meanwhile, new confidant and Shujin Academy counselor Takuto Maruki will be voiced by Billy Kametz. If you're familiar with the dubbed version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, you'll know Kametz as the voice of Josuke Higashikata. News of these two voice actors' involvement was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing Persona 5 Royal. You can check out that trailer here:

This trailer shows off some of the new story beats and features in Persona 5 Royal. Both Takuto Maruki and Kasumi Yoshizawa are visible in the trailer, as are some of the new activities and conversations you can expect. Protagonist Joker can be seen playing pool, hanging out in the game's new aquarium area, and playing darts on the new DARTSLIVE3 machine. There's also a sneak peek of the new Kichijoji area, which promises to mix new and old culture in classic Persona style.
