What’s new in Persona 5: The Phantom X?
P5X is more than just a mobile port; it’s a full-fledged spin-off developed by Perfect World, the studio known for Tower of Fantasy and the upcoming Neverness to Everness. While it keeps the heart and soul of Persona 5, there are some exciting twists for both newcomers and veterans. The most notable? A brand-new cast, a gacha system, and a story set in an alternate universe to the original Persona 5.
Gameplay highlights
Like in the mainline games, you’ll build your team, collect personas, and battle through metaphorical palaces — all while exploring Tokyo as Wonder, the leader of a fresh group of Phantom Thieves. The core turn-based combat returns, with a focus on exploiting enemy weaknesses for big wins. Social links are back too, letting you grow closer to characters and even start romances. And yes, the unmistakable voice of Lyn Inaizumi returns for the opening theme, “Ambitions and Visions.”
How does the gacha system work?
Here’s where things get interesting for fans of games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. In P5X, you’ll use in-game currencies to pull for new characters from a banner. It’s all about luck and timing, so plan your pulls wisely if you’re hoping to recruit your favorites. This mechanic adds a fresh layer of strategy and excitement to the Persona formula.
With all these updates and a global launch just around the corner, Persona 5: The Phantom X is shaping up to be a must-play for anyone who loves stylish RPGs, unforgettable characters, and a bit of luck. Mark your calendar, grab your phone or PC, and get ready to join the new generation of Phantom Thieves!
