Round1 Arcade announced that the first part of the Persona 30th Anniversary event with special merchandise tied to certain activities and purchases is now live in the US. It’s one of two waves of tie-ins to the game series, with the second happening starting on November 5, 2026. However, the Holyoke, Massachusetts and South Portland, Maine locations did experience a brief delay tied to the Special Club Card and big towel.
Some of the items are tied to spending money. Getting a $55 or $80 Game Credit will get you one keychain, and spending $120 will get you two. Persona 3’s Makoto Yuki and Persona 5’s Ren Amamiya are the Wave 1 options, while Persona 3 Portable’s Kotone Shiomi and Persona 4’s Yu Narukami are in Wave 2. Two Club Card designs are available featuring all the series protagonists, with chibi and mature artwork options being sold. When you are reloading game credit or buying a card, you can also spend $30 more to get a playmat. Wave 1 has an all chibi protagonists design and one with Koromaru, Teddie, and Morgana, while Wave 2 involves only protagonist character designs. Getting a Bowling Package could get you a Koromaru keychain, Teddie keychain, Ren sticker, or Makoto sticker.Getting a karaoke party will have an option of spending $30 for an exclusive towel. You can also spend an extra $30 if you do Spo-cha for a blanket.
Some items are tied to the restaurant in the arcade. There is a special menu with food and drinks, and you can get themed random coasters with those purchases. A Collector Cup will be there for $20, with free refills. The Wave 1 cup has chibi versions of protagonists, while Wave 2’s has the standard character art. If you spend $30 at the restaurant, you’ll also get a keychain of Morgana, the Persona 1 lead, Tatsuya Suou from Persona 2, or Maya Amano from Persona 2.
Finally, there will be Persona 30th Anniversary crane game prizes at Round1 Arcade locations. The three inch options are plush of Makoto, Yu, Ren, Koromaru, Teddie, and Morgana’s heads. The six inch plush are dolls of the Persona 1, 2, and 4 leads. There will be six-inch Koromaru, Teddie, and Morgana lying-down plush too. The biggest crane game prizes will be 16-inch-tall plush of the Persona 3, Persona 3 Portable, and Persona 5 characters.
Here’s how all the Round1 Persona 30th Anniversary merchandise will look.
This is one of many, many Persona 30th Anniversary events we’ve seen in the US as part of Atlus celebrating the occasion, with the others also including merchandise based on protagonist characters from every game. There was a Kura Sushi one, though that prioritized Persona 3, 4, and 5. A Beard Papa event took place in September 2026 and involved cream puffs based on the first, fourth, and fifth games and items tied to all of them.
The first wave of the Persona 30th Anniversary Round1 event is live now and the second will kick off at the arcade branches on November 5, 2026.
