The company published new artwork related to Persona 5, accompanying it with a cryptic message telling fans to stay tuned. This occurred on the eve of a stream dedicated to The Phantom X, scheduled for May 15. That is likely when confirmation of a Western release will be announced.
Persona 5: The Phantom X was created for iOS and Android and targets fans of the original, but with noticeable changes. The game preserves the visual style and spirit of the main series, but instead of the calendar system, it uses an energy mechanic and in-game elements tailored for microtransactions. It is a typical gacha project where progression depends on investment and time spent playing.
Details regarding the Western version are expected to become known very soon.
