That’s right, this brand-new entry in the beloved RPG franchise is set for a worldwide release on both mobile and PC platforms. After being teased back in 2023, the wait is finally over as *Persona 5: The Phantom X* prepares to launch next month, giving global audiences their first taste of this thrilling new adventure.

Mark Your Calendars: June 26th Launch Date

Circle June 26th on your calendar—this is the official global release date for *Persona 5: The Phantom X*. As a brand-new installment in the iconic JRPG franchise, you’ll step into the shoes of an all-new protagonist who forms their own team of Phantom Thieves. Just like in the original *Persona 5*, you’ll navigate the bustling streets of modern-day Tokyo while balancing school life with supernatural heists under the cover of darkness.

A New Story, Familiar Feel

If you’ve played *Persona 5* before, you'll instantly recognize the rhythm of the game: juggling everyday student life with the high-stakes missions of the Phantom Thieves. By day, attend classes, join clubs, and build relationships with classmates. By night, harness the power of Personas to infiltrate twisted dungeons known as Palaces and Mementos, reshaping the hearts of corrupt individuals.

More Than Just a Spin-Off

Don’t be fooled by the “spin-off” label—*Persona 5: The Phantom X* is essentially a standalone sequel with its own unique story. While it retains the core concepts that made *Persona 5* so popular, including the Phantom Thieves and Personas, nearly everything else—from characters to locations—is completely new. This isn't just a rehash; it's a fresh journey through the world of Persona with its own twists and surprises.
