Persona 5: The Phantom X is officially making its way to a global audience, and the excitement is well-founded. Pre-registration for Android users is now live, marking a major milestone in the game's rollout. Originally slated for a June 26th, 2025 release in Japan, fans around the world will now be able to dive into the action on the very same day.
The game first launched in China last year, later expanding to Taiwan, South Korea, Macau, and Hong Kong, where it became available across Android, iOS, and PC platforms. Now, SEGA and Atlus are finalizing preparations for a full worldwide release, ensuring players everywhere can experience the latest installment in the iconic Persona series.
Developed by Black Wing Game Studio in collaboration with former Persona 5 developers, Phantom X follows a free-to-play model enriched with a gacha system. This allows players to summon and collect various characters to build their ideal Phantom Thieves squad.

In Phantom X, you step into the role of an entirely new protagonist leading a fresh team of Phantom Thieves. Together, you'll explore a stylized rendition of modern-day Tokyo filled with brand-new Palaces, Mementos missions, and mystery.
The gameplay retains the beloved rhythm-based daily life mechanics and turn-based combat that define the series. Alongside these core elements, players can enjoy light social simulation features, dungeon crawling, a guild system, and a PvE mode known as Velvet Trials. Familiar faces from Persona 5 also make appearances, bridging the gap between old and new.
The adventure begins when your character awakens from a disturbing nightmare only to find themselves trapped in a twisted alternate reality. As you navigate this surreal world, you’ll meet Lefaye—a wise-cracking owl guide—and reconnect with the enigmatic Velvet Room crew, including Igor and his ever-loyal assistants.
That’s all the details we have for now on the global pre-registration of Persona 5: The Phantom X. Stay tuned for more updates, and check out our next piece covering Crunchyroll’s upcoming roguelike combat deckbuilder, Shogun Showdown.
