As anticipation builds among fans of the Persona series, Atlus has teased an exciting reveal just days ahead of a highly anticipated livestream event.
An official social media post playfully hinted, “Think you dropped this,” complete with a charming owl emoji, sparking widespread curiosity.
While many are hoping for news regarding Persona 6, the upcoming event is primarily focused on the global release of the mobile game Persona 5: The Phantom X, which recently completed its open beta.
The visuals used in the announcement draw inspiration from the vibrant style of Persona 5, and the owl emoji hints at Lufel, a new character influenced by Morgana (a special thanks to TheGamer for this detail).
Fans can tune into the livestream on May 15th at 3 PM UK time (11 PM JST) for the long-awaited announcement of the game’s release date.
The Phantom X was first revealed in 2023 by Perfect World, a talented development company from China. It generated significant attention during its beta testing phase, which launched in China last year. Now, enthusiasm is growing for its international release, although most information has predominantly been shared in Japanese.
This intriguing title is set to combine beloved elements from the original game with an innovative gacha system, promising a fresh take for its audience.
The Phantom X follows the legacy of previous Persona 5 spin-offs: the exhilarating Persona 5 Strikers and the strategic Persona 5 Tactica.
Additionally, last year’s release of Persona 3 Reload sparked renewed interest in a classic RPG, reminding fans just how foundational this title was for establishing the Persona universe.
While the future of Persona 6 remains under wraps, some leaks suggest it may be developed for multiple platforms with a potential new color palette that has fans buzzing with speculation.
In the meantime, those eager for more adventures can immerse themselves in Atlus’s latest RPG project: the intriguing Metaphor: ReFantazio.
