According to the post, the game will launch with over 40 DLCs. This includes a variety of different Personas and costumes fromcharacters across thePersonaseries, item packs that will help boost starting gameplay, and battle challenge content featuring powerful foes. Aesthetic items from other Atlus titles such asCatherine, thePersona Dancingseries, andPersona Q2are also part of the 40 DLCs included inPersona 5 Royal’s Windows and Xbox launch.
According to Google Translate, the official blog post mentions that the 40 DLCs will be available from the beginning of a player’s playthrough, which may mean that the additional content will already be built into the game. With most of the extra content being aesthetic items likePersona 5character costumes, it is not likely that players will be extremely overpowered when they start playing through the game.
On Twitter, there are already some discussions about the 40 DLCs that will come with thePersona 5Windows and Xbox launch. With some fans having bought these DLCs on other platforms where they own the game, Atlus making them available for free on Windows or Xbox can seem a bit unfair. Unfortunately, community members will have to wait until Atlus clears this up on its official social media channels.
Persona 5is available now on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and will be released on October 21 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
