Will Persona 5: The Phantom X Reach Western Shores?

SEGA's financial report for the fiscal year ending March 2024 revealed that Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X), the gacha spin-off, is under consideration for both a Japanese and global release. The report highlighted the game's promising initial sales and stated that international expansion is being actively explored.

Currently in Open Beta, Limited Regions

Licensed by Atlus, Persona 5: The Phantom X initially soft-launched in China (April 12, 2024), followed by Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, and Taiwan (April 18, 2024). Currently in open beta, the game is published by Perfect World Games (South Korea) and developed by its subsidiary, Black Wings Game Studio (China).

Players assume the role of a new silent protagonist, "Wonder," a high school student by day and a Persona-wielding Phantom Thief by night. Wonder joins forces with other Persona users to combat societal injustices.

Wonder's initial Persona is Janosik, inspired by Slovakian folklore and embodying a Robin Hood-esque persona. The original Persona 5 protagonist, Joker, and a new character, YUI, are also part of the team.

Maintaining the series' core elements, Persona 5: The Phantom X blends turn-based combat, social simulation, and dungeon crawling with a gacha system for character acquisition.
