Cardsmiths is entering the Metaverse with the launch of Persona 5 Royal Series 1 Trading Cards, inspired by one of the most popular RPG franchises in gaming. Released during Persona’s milestone 30th anniversary, the collection transforms the world of the Phantom Thieves into a premium trading card experience filled with rare pulls, bold visuals, and collectible Treasures.
Since its inception in 1996, Persona has brought unique characters to life and immersed players in surreal dreamscapes through its cutting-edge gameplay. According to SEGA’s 2025 Integrated Report, the Persona 5 series has sold more than 13 million units worldwide across its expansive universe, including the original game, Persona 5 Royal, and multiple spin-off titles.
Like the thrill of infiltrating Palaces and stealing Treasures, every pack opening delivers a new kind of heist. Each sleeved booster pack includes ten (10) randomly inserted trading cards from a lineup of more than 110 designs. The artwork features fan-favorite characters like Protagonist, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Ann Takamaki, along with an assortment of key art and iconic props inspired by the double lives of the Phantom Thieves.
Collectors can chase a variety of rare inserts that bring the Metaverse directly into their hands, including:
- Alter Ego Cards
- Serial-Numbered Persona Refractor Cards
- Phantom Refractor Cards
- Tarot Cards
- Collector Parallel Rainbow Holofoil Cards
“Few franchises have had the kind of lasting impact that Persona has. For the past three decades, it has built an incredibly passionate fanbase and become a cultural cornerstone within the gaming community,” said Steven Loney, CEO and co-founder of Cardsmiths. “When the opportunity to create this collection came along, we knew it was a chance to celebrate a piece of that legacy in a unique way.”
