"Persona 5 Royal Edition" and "Monster Marble" Japanese Edition collaborative activities
The popular Japanese mobile phone marble RPG "Monster Strike" (Japanese: モンススターストライク) officially announced today that it will officially launch a cooperation event with "Persona 5 Royal" in the Japanese version on August 16, 2025. This linkage will focus on the main characters and iconic elements of "Persona 5 Royal Edition". The event scale and presentation method include limited character summons, in-game activity levels, limited tasks and reward props, etc. Players can experience the world view and character lineup of "Persona" reinterpreted with monster marble gameplay during the event.
According to the official linkage information, this cooperation will launch a number of limited characters from "Persona 5 Royal Edition" as units that can be collected and cultivated. The character image and skill design combine the personality and theme abilities of the original characters, and players can obtain them through limited summoning or event redemption. The characters participating in this linkage are expected to include the protagonist and core partners. Their portraits and animation performances will be presented in the existing cards and skill performance styles of "Monster Marbles". The official release of the propaganda pictures show that when the characters are released, they will have the iconic visual effects of the "Persona" series, such as the full-screen stylized skill performance and representative line dubbing (if the dubbing is included). These limited characters will balance the gameplay of Monster Marbles in terms of numerical and skill design, so that they not only retain the original flavor but also integrate into the group battle rhythm of marbles.
In addition to summoning characters, the linkage activity will also open a series of special links with the theme of "Persona 5 Royal Edition". These levels usually appear in the form of a small plot theater or a task chain. Players need to complete specific conditions within a limited time (such as eliminating specific enemies within a turn, using a character with specified attributes to pass levels, etc.) to obtain activity points, limited materials, or props used to redeem limited characters and awakening materials. Officials said that this type of link will reproduce the key scenes and enemy settings in the original work, and will be adapted through the gameplay mechanism of "Monster Marbles", allowing players to feel the narrative atmosphere of "Persona 5 Royal Edition" in the familiar marble battle.
In terms of event rewards, the official usually provides limited titles, avatar frames, login rewards, and awakening materials or enhancement props to improve character abilities. This linkage is no exception. The Japanese announcement mentioned that login rewards will be arranged at the beginning of the event. Players can log in during the event to receive rewards including limited materials. Continuous participation in the event tasks can accumulate the required special currency in exchange for limited character fragments or exclusive equipment. In order to cooperate with the popularity of linkage, the official often arranges limited login activities or continuous login rewards during the event to encourage players to participate in and experience levels and characters every day.
Regarding the special plans during the event, the announcement also prompts that cooperation commemorative activities may be held, such as limited-time cooperation plots, community tasks or linkage login package activities, etc., and a series of visual materials and banners with the theme of "Persona 5 Royal Edition" may be launched simultaneously. The official may also cooperate with the copyright owner of the original work to release cross-border promotional videos or short videos to display the skills performances and main event content of limited characters, attracting the attention and participation of original fans and marble players.
For players who want to obtain limited characters or experience the event level as soon as possible, the official will usually open the trailer and summon rate description of relevant information before the event starts. Players can pay attention to in-game announcements and official websites, as well as official social channels to obtain the latest details and probability tables. The Japanese version of the announcement also reminds that the event is limited to a limited time period. It is difficult to get the same limited role or reward again in the short term if you miss the event. Therefore, players should pay attention to the card drawing and redemption schedule when the event is started.
In addition, linkage may also affect the activity schedule within the game. The official usually marks the start and end time of the event, the specific period of the character summoning pool, and the opening period of the activity level to ensure that players master the time nodes to complete the redemption and collection goals. The cooperation activity of "Persona 5 Royal Edition" × "Monster Marbles" is expected to trigger a wave of topic discussion in mid-August. The player community may share card drawing results, level strategies and character training experience before and after the event.
