Persona 5 Royal is often cited as one of the best modern turn-based RPGs, and fans of the series are eagerly waiting for a new installment in this beloved franchise.
As part of their collaboration with AirAsia, SEGA and Atlus unveiled a plane featuring illustrations from Persona 5 Royal. The plane features Joker and Morgana on each side of the fuselage, with the captions “Take your time and enjoy your flight” and “Take the sky.” Persona 5 Royal’s logo as well as its iconic red-and-black aesthetic are displayed on both sides of the aircraft. SEGA shared a video showing how this collaboration turned a basic commercial plane into this impressive custom aircraft for fans of the Persona series.

This collaboration isn’t the first time companies customize planes with video game characters. All Nippon Airways recently teamed up with Pokemon to release a new safety video for their planes. This video aimed to introduce passengers to everything they need to know during their flight, with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Machamp and many other pocket creatures showing travelers the plane's safety requirements and features so they can enjoy their flight peacefully.
Fans of the Persona series can hope for more news about the upcoming projects for this beloved franchise in 2025. While Persona 6 didn’t make an appearance at The Game Awards 2024, players wish for more information about this upcoming game during this year. Persona 5: The Phantom X, the gacha spin-off for Persona 5, has been released in open beta in some regions like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea. However, Atlus hasn’t yet announced any plans to bring this game to the West, leaving fans wondering what’s next for the series in the future.
