Koei Tecmo has released their report for the fiscal year of 2019, which ended in March 2020.

Twitter user @bk2128 has highlighted most of the fiscal report, which is currently only available in Japanese, however at the end of the report it mentions that a worldwide release for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers is still being planned and will likely be part of the company’s 2020 fiscal year.
Koei Tecmo's upcoming plans are all known so far:
-Fairy Tail RPG on 25 June

Previously a trademark filed by Atlus featured a logo reading ‘Persona 5 Strikers’, which lead many to believe that this would be the English title for the game, however the game has not yet been mentioned by Atlus USA outside of a survey released alongside Persona 5 Royal asking players if they would be interested in an English release.
Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers released in Japan on February 20th, 2020.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution appears to have been a modest success for Konami. The game has shipped 500,000 copies on Switch, the company recently confirmed. That figure seemingly accounts for worldwide copies since the title ended up on Nintendo’s console last summer.
In March, a major update released for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. It added several new cards, content from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, and updated rules.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution can be purchased both physically and digitally on Switch.
