Following a successful open beta in China, Persona 5: The Phantom X is preparing for its worldwide launch. Developed by Perfect World, this mobile title incorporates familiar elements from the original game but integrates gacha gameplay mechanics. The game's visual style closely mirrors that of Persona 5, further fueling anticipation.

This isn't the first time the Persona 5 universe has expanded. Previous spin-offs include the action-packed Persona 5 Strikers and the strategy game Persona 5 Tactica. The recent release of Persona 3 Reload, a remake of the original game that helped establish the series' popularity, also demonstrates Atlus' ongoing commitment to its fanbase.

The official release date for Persona 5: The Phantom X will be revealed during a livestream on YouTube on May 15th. This announcement promises to satisfy fans eager to experience this new take on the beloved Persona 5 world.
