SEGA and Atlus just announced that Persona 5: The Phantom X, a new free-to-play game in the Persona series, is hitting the world stage on June 26, 2025. It’s already been out in China since April 2024 through Perfect World Games.
What’s Persona 5: The Phantom X About?
The game’s set in a Tokyo where people’s desires have gone poof. It keeps the Persona 5 roots but does its own thing with a fresh story. You play as a new main character juggling school during the day and diving into mind-bending dungeons at night.
A new crew of Phantom Thieves takes the spotlight, each with their own backstories and Personas. Fan-favorites like Joker and the OG Thieves pop up through special in-game deals.
The gameplay sticks to what makes modern Persona games great: turn-based battles, managing your daily schedule, and building relationships. You’ll balance part-time gigs and school clubs with dungeon crawls and fights.
There’s also new stuff like The Velvet Trials, a PvE combat mode, and a Synergy System for extra side stories written by Atlus. These let you deepen ties with both new and familiar characters. You’ll get NPC events and other side content too.
Guilds let you connect with other players, and new dungeons like Palaces and Mementos shake up the exploration. NPC-focused events and mini-games add more flavor to the school-life parts.
Persona 5: The Phantom X drops on PC via Steam and on iOS and Android mobile devices on June 26, 2025. You can pre-register now, but 77 countries are left out.
