In a surprising yet exciting move, gaming imprint Atlus has recently revealed that their widely adored game, Persona 5 Royal, will be taking to the skies with a specially designed airplane through a partnership with AirAsia. While the release date of this unique venture is set for October 2024, eager fans and gaming enthusiasts are already abuzz with anticipation.
Specifically, the flight carrier in question will serve both domestic and international routes, including Honolulu, Hawaii – facilitated by AirAsia’s long-haul arm, AirAsia X. However, atlus remained circumspect about the particulars of the Persona 5 Royal plane, addressing merely the aircraft’s model and showcasing its proposed design.
The Airbus 320, marked as 9M-AFF, is slated to be the canvas for this distinctive venture. Incorporating prominent elements from the Persona universe, both the exterior surfaces of the airplane are said to be adorned with the renowned Persona 5 Royal logo. Additionally, a notable tagline – “Take the sky. Take your time and enjoy your flight.” – will be painted on each side.
Apart from the secondary branding, the overarching color scheme is a striking blend of black, red, and white, in sync with the game’s definitive style. Continuing with the thematic vibe, artwork featuring ‘Joker’, the protagonist, with his signature Phantom Thieves mask will proudly appear on the right flank of the aircraft, whereas the popular character, Morgana, is scheduled to grace the left-hand side.
Asia, as a region, is no stranger to pop culture amalgamations within the aviation industry. Airlines often showcase specially crafted planes that pay homage to popular gaming franchises, anime series, and other pop culture icons. As an example, EVA Air uses its flight canvas to exhibit the charming Hello Kitty Besties Jet, adorned with characters like Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and My Melody. Similarly, All Nippon Airways embraces this trend by offering Pokemon-inspired flights, which even extend to offbeat customization like special in-flight safety videos and other exclusive features.
As for Persona 5, the game’s legacy extends to several platforms such as PS3, PS4 while its sequel Royal has been made available on PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
This inventive intersection of the aviation sector with the gaming world is undoubtedly intriguing. It adds an intriguing layer to the gaming experience, opening up a new frontier that blurs the lines between the virtual game world and reality. Unfortunately, more comprehensive information on the Persona 5 Royal x AirAsia collaboration, specifically about the flights and planes, remains sparse. Fans and fellow game enthusiasts are keenly awaiting October 2024 for more in-depth details. Until then, the intrigue and excitement provide sufficient fuel to speculate over what this partnership holds in store.
