Alongside the tweet was an image of a Phantom Thieves calling card which said: “To all Phantom Thieves in the making in the West.
“You have 12 days until we expose the truth of Persona 5 Royal once and for all”.
The wording of the calling card seems to suggest the incoming Persona 5 news will be about the game’s western release on the PS4.
It seems likely the Persona 5 Royal release date will be announced and we could also potentially see an English voiced trailer drop.

Persona 5 Royal is the definitive version of P5, bringing with it new story content, locations and characters.
Express.co.uk reviewed Persona 5 back in 2016 when it was first released and were left very impressed with it, awarding it five stars out of five.
We said: “Role-playing games, by their nature, are meant to feel like you are in the shoes of another person – hence the role playing.
“And by that measure, Persona 5 is a resounding success.
“It made me feel 15 years younger – completely swept up in an altogether much cooler and romanticised version of those awkward teenage years.

“The Phantom Thieves slogan is ‘Take Your Heart’ – and they’ve truly done that with me.
“Persona 5 is a gorgeous, moving and ridiculously stylish game that is all-too-easy to get completely swept up and engrossed in.
“It’s an instant cult classic and of the best JRPGs ever made.
“If you have any interest in role-playing games, or Japanese culture – do yourself a favour and pick-it up now.”
