Perfect as gifts or to stay cozy this upcoming holiday season, Atlus has shared a collection of candles themed after Persona 5 Royal. The capsule collection features some popular members of Persona 5 Royal's Phantom Thieves, which seems like a great way to remind fans of their favorite characters when a candle is lit up in their homes.
It is not unusual for Atlus to release products and merchandise based on the popular role-playing game. Recently, this was done to celebrate Persona 5 Royal's release on modern gaming platforms such as on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S. Some of these efforts include launching a new limited edition game bundle, announcing a new co-op card game, and even collaborating with Japanese snack box company Japan Crate for a Persona 5 Royal snack crate. With the holidays drawing near, it is not surprising for the company to reproduce items such as these candles, just in time for the season.
On Twitter, the official Atlus West account shared that a Persona 5 Royal-themed candle collection is up for grabs. Partnering with Wick & Skull, a candle company that specializes in video game candles, the collection consists of four candles featuring several Persona 5 Royal characters. These characters include the main protagonist Joker, Ann Takamaki, Makoto Nijima, and Goro Akechi. The candles cost $19.99 each but Wick & Skull is offering a bundled price for the set of four candles at $74.99.
Replies on the Twitter thread seemed to show the fans' excitement for the candles, with some wondering what the other Persona 5 Royal characters would smell like. Given that the Wick & Skull candle collection only focuses on four characters, the fanbase is likely curious about the scents of the remaining Phantom Thieves. Other fans also wondered about the scents of the NPCs in Persona 5 Royal, especially those that the main character can romance as they play through the main story.
According to Wick & Skull's timeline, the Persona 5 Royal candle collection has been up for sale since October 2022, around the time for the game's launch for Steam, the Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, given that the holiday season is nearing, it is not surprising for Atlus to be talking about these items again. Hopefully the candles remain in stock for the players who are looking to gift these candles to fellow Persona 5 Royal fans or to purchase some for themselves.
Persona 5 Royal is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
