Comment of the game producer

I am Kazuhisa Wada, producer of Persona 5 Royal. Thank you so much for selecting us for Japan Game Awards the Year Division for Excellence.
When we won the Future category last year, we were not only so happy but also under a lot of pressure before releasing a new game. We knew the previous Persona 5 game was so highly successful and so well received that high expectations along with the evaluation brought the award. We did our best to make sure that a new game would exceed those expectations, but I still remember being even more nervous about the reactions of everyone.
We are very happy to have received such an honorable award for “Persona 5 Royal” title this year. This gives a great confidence and experience for all development staffs, and I believe it will be important treasures that we can pass on to the next title.
We would like to thank all of our warm-hearted users for their support. We will do our best to respond to their support with our work and ask for continued support of Persona.
