  • A whole new way to enjoy the game comes with a mysterious parallel version of the original world in Persona 5: The Phantom X.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is getting its global debut, as ATLUS announced in a livestream on May 15, 2025. After limited regional releases for quite some time now, the game will extend its reach toward Japan and the West. The much anticipated Persona 5 spin-off game promises to expand the story in a unique way. With its release date officially revealed, let’s dive right into all the details we have so far.

Release Date and Regions

ATLUS, the game’s developer, announced the Persona 5: The Phantom X launch date in a May 15 livestream. The game will be available on June 26, 2025 for the West and Japan. This global release comes after its early launch in selected regions, namely: China, Taiwan, and South Korea in April 2024. It received positive feedback in these countries, shaping the expectations of other players around the world.

Now, the game’s global release is gaining a lot of support from many fans eager for a chance to play. However, the game’s official worldwide launch won’t cover some Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines and Malaysia. Much to fans’ disappointment, there is still no news on when the game would be available for other regions. So, they’ll have to wait a bit more after the early release in June.

On Which Devices Can We Play Persona 5: The Phantom X?

The game stands out as the only Persona 5 spin-off currently available on mobile. There is no certainty if it will be adapted to other platforms like gaming consoles. So far, the game will only be launched on PC, Android, and iOS. Persona 5: The Phantom X will be the only game of the franchise that is played on mobile as the other one before it has been discontinued.

What To Expect From The Game

With all the hype building up to its release, what does Persona 5: The Phantom X have to offer? After all, as much as we love Persona games, we already have plenty of spin-offs for the 5th series. Luckily, with the collaboration of Atlus and Black Wings Game Studio, the game will bring about a unique perspective in Tokyo. 

The game also replaces some systems like the traditional calendar with time-based currency. It will also feature gacha mechanics which may encourage players to spend real-life money. Alongside this gacha way of unlocking characters or items, players must reach certain levels first before progressing the story. So, fans can expect that the pace will be slower than what they are used to.

An Alternate World

We will not spoil much about the game, but in order to show you something new to be excited about, here’s some spill on the story.

Persona 5: The Phantom X will let you step into the shoes of “Wonder”. This new main character will take on the mantle as the leader of a different Phantom Thieves. Along with his partner, “Lufel”, a talking owl, he ventures out to create a team to unravel the mysteries of the Metaverse.

The setting will be a parallel world of Tokyo, where a mysterious force causes trouble by taking people’s desires. With a new set of characters to meet, you continue on the ways of a persona user. The surprises don’t end there though, because the original Phantom Thieves do make an appearance in this game. They’ll be available as NPCs you can interact with and even summon their cognitive versions to help you face challenges.

Conclusion

Fans will only have to wait a bit more before getting to experience Persona 5: The Phantom X themselves. With the news of its official release out in the air, the community is roaring with anticipation. Sadly, it will not be available for all the fans right away, so some will have to be more patient. 

The game will offer a brand new way to appreciate the world of Persona 5. Are you ready to summon your Persona?
