Atlus has shared a message with fans that strongly implies that Persona 5: The Phantom X is getting a western release announcement soon. The exciting Persona 5: The Phantom X news has fans who want their next Persona fix worked up.
That lack of detail could be changing in the near future, if an Atlus tweet is any indication. On the official Atlus West account, Atlus released a tweet with a simple message, saying "Think you dropped this..." with an owl emoji, followed by a second line telling fans to stay tuned. Beyond that, the only thing the tweet included was a single image, telling viewers to "Retake Your Desire."
While it didn't explicitly state as much, fans believe that Atlus may be getting ready to announce the spin-off mobile Persona game as coming to English-speaking territories due to some strong hints in the tweet. The image included in the tweet has previously been used to promote the mobile game, and the inclusion of the owl emoji seems to be a mod to the game's mascot character. Further, Atlus and Sega previously announced that a new livestream for Persona 5: The Phantom X is on the way, which will premiere on May 15 and will discuss the Japanese release of the game. Although an English version hasn't been officially announced, the broadcast is also slated to include an "important announcement" for English speakers.
