Summary

• Persona 5: The Phantom X is now listed on Steam with a focus on the Chinese version, with no specific launch date currently available.
• An English update is anticipated in May following a likeness to the game’s official Japan release.
• The game introduces a consumable energy system and gacha mechanics for vanishing energy.

Persona 5: The Phantom X has secured a position on Steam; however, only the Chinese variant is accessible as of now. Developers assert a broader international release is forthcoming along with multiple language options.

The title, derived from the original Persona 5, returns players to the Metaverse. Persona 5: The Phantom X alters gameplay dynamics to function as a free-to-play title, replacing the original calendar framework with a standard energy system replenished over time or with in-game currency, and it incorporates summon mechanics reminiscent of the original’s Phantom Thieves through a gacha system. Intriguingly, despite the Persona franchise’s Japanese roots, the game has yet to debut in Japan itself.

This new title has bright prospects, and the developers are receptive to feedback from beta testers. The game is scheduled for console access after the PC version is stabilized, extending the Persona Metaverse to a wider array of gamers.
