Persona 5: The Phantom X is coming to PC and mobile next month<p>There’s a new
Persona game coming very soon, but sadly it isn’t time for the next mainline entry just yet. Rather,
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a spinoff in a similar vein to
Persona 5 Strikers. Like that game,
The Phantom X is set in the same universe as Atlus’ incredibly successful RPG,
Persona 5, but unlike
Strikers, this one features a new cast of characters, including a talking owl named Lufel that presumably takes the place of Morgana.</p>

announced[/url] in 2023,
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a free-to-play live service game from Chinese publisher Perfect World, which released the game in open beta in its native country in April last year. It introduces a fresh team of Phantom Thieves and seems to be aiming for the classic Persona blend of high school drama, social interaction and dungeon crawling with impossibly stylish turn-based battles. There’s a new “Synergy” system that develops as you form bonds with NPCs, new mini-games and a PvE mode called The Velvet Trials.</p>

<p>Underpinning the whole experience will be a free-to-play model, the exact nature of which is not yet clear. Time will tell if gacha tactics will get in the way of a good time, and how well the familiar
Persona gameplay loop translates to your phone, but the game’s official <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

Persona 5 fans and newcomers.</p>
<p>Atlus will be hoping that
P5X tides fans over until it has any news on
Persona 6. Its most recent release was last year’s <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

Metaphor: ReFantazio[/url], and the studio is currently saying nothing about the follow-up to
Persona 5, which launched in its original pre-
Royal state way back in 2016.
Persona 5: The Phantom X launches June 26 on PC, iOS and Android.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
