SEGA and Atlus have officially confirmed that Persona5: The Phantom X, the new free-to-play installment in the long-running Persona franchise, will release globally on June 26, 2025. This game has been available in China through Perfect World Games since April 2024.
About
Set in a Tokyo where human desires have vanished, the game builds on the foundation of Persona 5 while branching off with its distinct implementations. Players control a brand-new protagonist who navigates school life by day and explores cognitive dungeons by night.
Further, a new band of Phantom Thieves steps up, each with their own stories and Personas. While this cast is the central collective facet, returning characters like Joker and the original Thieves will appear via special in-game contracts.
The core loop still leans into the signature coalescence of turn-based combat, daily time management, and relationship-building that the modern Persona games are known for. Players can balance part-time jobs and extracurricular clubs with dungeon runs and combat trials.
Several new gameplay additions, including a PvE combat mode called The Velvet Trials and expanded side content through a Synergy System, will also be available. These mechanics allow players to unlock original side stories written and supervised by Atlus, strengthening bonds with new and returning characters. NPC events and other side stories will also be viewable.
Moreover, Guild features let players interact in-game. New palaces and Mementos refresh dungeon design, while NPC-focused events provide further opportunities to explore the vast cast. Mini-games add additional variety to the student life segments.
