WFS announced that a Persona 5 Royal event will come to Heaven Burns Red on May 22, 2026, with the first banner featuring a Panther-inspired version of Tsukasa Tojo and Makoto “Queen” Niijima and the second starring Kasumi “Violet” Yoshizawa. Morgana, aka Mona, will be given away for going through the event story, which is supervised by Atlus and written by Key. The whole affair is known as Operation: Takana wa Mementos – Wake Your Heart. There’s no word regarding when we might see the global version of the game get the crossover, since it is behind and launched two years after the Japanese version. The last major update in that version involved the Clock Tower expansion.
There are multiple freebies appearing alongside the Persona 5 Royal event debut. First, if someone logs in at least once during the event, they’ll get 50 Lifestones, 3,000 Quartz, and other in-game items. Since a 10-pull on a Memoria gacha banner is 3,000, that gives you immediately enough for one of those on the themed banner. There is then a second login event that gives you 300 Quartz every day over 15 days, netting you 4,500 more total if you don’t miss a day.
As for the characters, there are four and three are available right away. Mona is the lowest rank one, as he’s an SS Memoria. Queen and the Panther version of Tsukasa are SSR Memoria. Violet will be an SSR as well. Trailers for all four of them already appeared.
First, here’s Queen in Heaven Burns Red.
Next, take a look at the Tsukasa alt.
Mona will round out the initial three event characters appearing.
Finally, the Violet teaser is live too.
There’s also a general event PV that shows all of them fighting. Ruka Kayamori and Joker are also featured heavily during it, but neither one has been confirmed as possibly appearing in the second part alongside Violet.
Heaven Burns Red is available on mobile devices and PCs, and the Japanese version of the game gets the Persona 5 Royal crossover event on May 22, 2026. We don’t know when that will appear worldwide yet. Persona 5 launched on the PS3 and PS4, and the Royal release appeared on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
