It’s been 30 years since Atlus introduced the gaming community to the world of Persona, a spin-off from the Megami Tensei franchise that became more popular than its parent, so there’s no better time than now to celebrate its legacy. Coinciding with the momentous occasion, Aniplus Café has announced a Persona 5 Royal collaboration, the first of its kind in Singapore.
Before stepping into the space, fans will be greeted by character standees of Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Makoto Nijima, and Futaba Sakura at the entrance, leading into a photo spot featuring the Protagonist / Joker and Morgana on the inside. In a cheeky reference to the game’s school setting, an examination paper with math questions is found on a table, inviting players to revisit their forgotten knowledge.
The themed decor continues to adorn the walls, windows, counter area, and tables, with a mirror decked out in the striking design of the battle menu. Once settled in, the collaboration fare presents four drink options, five main dishes, and five desserts, each inspired by a particular Phantom Thief or an event from Persona 5 Royal.
For the thirst-quenchers, The Palace for Everyone’s Hearts (S$9) brings a zesty touch of hibiscus and pomegranate, while Heart Stealer (S$9) leans into a fruitier profile. Justice Served, described as black sugar milk tea with strawberry, and Welcome to the Velvet Room, a blue margarita mocktail, introduce more colour variety at S$9.50 each.
Then, it’s time to indulge in a proper meal. Topped off with their respective character food picks, the entrées include Café LeBlanc’s Curry Rice (S$21), Gyudon (S$22.50), Yakisoba (S$21), Cheesy Burger (S$21), and Kitsune Udon (S$20), joined by the following desserts:
- Crow’s: Genius Detective Toast (S$19)
- Queen’s: Blueberry Parfait (S$18)
- Panther’s: Red Velvet Lava Cake (S$18)
- Violet’s: Strawberry Chocolate Parfait (S$18)
- Noir’s: A Milady’s French Toast (S$19)
Visitors will receive a random coaster with any drinks ordered, and a random character card with any food item ordered from the collaboration menu, out of a possible 10 designs for both. Those looking to expand their merchandise arsenal can also expect a host of exclusive offerings, ranging from chibi designs and a stylish mouse mat to special illustrations with a winter concept.
Rounding out the experience are limited-edition souvenirs to be given with the purchase of Persona 5 Royal merchandise. Alongside a complimentary paper bag, a random sticker and a postcard will be available with every S$15 and S$30 spent.
The Persona 5 Royal X Aniplus Café collaboration runs from now till 5 March 2026.
