Exciting news for fans of the Persona series: Persona 5: The Phantom X is set to captivate a global audience, with pre-registration now open on Android. Initially announced for a June 26th, 2025 release in Japan, the game's launch date has been synchronized for a worldwide debut on the same day. This marks a significant expansion for the title, which has already been successfully released in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Macau, and Hong Kong across Android, iOS, and PC platforms. SEGA and Atlus are committed to ensuring a full-scale international release.
Developed by Black Wing Game Studio in collaboration with former Persona 5 developers, Phantom X adopts a free-to-play model, featuring a gacha system that allows players to summon various characters to enhance their party. This approach promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the gameplay experience.
The global version of the game will include Japanese voice acting with the choice of either English or Japanese text, catering to a broad range of preferences. Enthusiasts eager to dive into the action can pre-register now on the Google Play Store. Don't miss out on the excitement—check out the first look below!
In Persona 5: The Phantom X, players will step into the role of a new protagonist leading a fresh crew of Phantom Thieves. The game unfolds in a stylized version of modern-day Tokyo, complete with new palaces and mementos to explore. It retains the beloved turn-based combat and dual-life rhythm of the series, alongside introducing light social-simulation elements and dungeon crawling. Additional features include a guild system, a PvE mode known as Velvet Trials, and appearances by familiar characters from the original Persona 5.
The narrative begins with the protagonist awakening from a nightmare to a distorted reality. Along their journey, they encounter a talking owl named Lefaye and the iconic Velvet Room crew, including the enigmatic long-nosed man and his assistants.
