Persona 5: The Phantom X, also known as Persona 5 X or P5X, is a turn-based role-playing video game developed by Black Wings Game Studio and co-developed by P-Studio. It was published by Perfect World Games. It is a spin-off of Persona 5 that takes place in a parallel universe and is officially authorized by SEGA with deep involvement by Atlus.[6] [7]
It was originally announced under the alias Code Name: X in April 2021[8][9] As with the previous Persona 5 installments, the game is planned to be released overseas starting in South Korea.[10] During Tokyo Game Show 2024, they had released a playable demo Japanese version.
The first beta lasted from March 29, 2023 to April 1, 2023. The second beta test started on August 18, 2023. The third started on January 16, 2024 and lasted until January 31st.

Plot[]
The game begins in a similar vein to how Persona 5 begins, midway through the infiltration at Niijima's Palace. However, when Joker begins to make his escape, a hooded intruder intervenes and attacks him. After a brief clash, Joker is able to break the hooded figure's white mask, revealing it to be the Phantom X protagonist, who then proceeds to shoot him.
After the scene ends, it is revealed that it was just a nightmare that the protagonist had. After waking up from the dream, he makes his way to school and a mysterious owl proceeds to follow him. During class, the protagonist struggles to stay awake and drifts off. Once he awakens, he finds himself within the Velvet Room, and is welcomed in by Igor and Merope.
After the brief introduction end, he returns to reality where the protagonist begins to fall victim to his desires being taken away. He's unable to convince the girls in the hallway to move, and later when a girl jumps from a building, he finds himself unable to call for help. As he boards the train, he notices the Metaverse Navigator appear on his phone and the owl from before begins speaking to him. As the protagonist taps the app on his phone, he enters the Metaverse and the owl introduces himself as Lufel. After a scuffle with Shadows, the protagonist awakens his persona and the two fight their way out of Mementos.
After the event, Lufel and Wonder form the Phantom Thieves and go on a mission to reclaim the desires that are being stolen.

Cognitive Manifestations/Kaidols[]
Throughout the game's story, there are multiple characters who have no Persona power of their own but appear in the Metaverse in their Phantom Thief forms and join the battles. These characters are cognitive manifestations created by Merope in accordance with the following conditions:
- They exist in the protagonist's cognition. In the real world, the protagonist either knows them, or has met or heard about them, which even does not necessarily need to be realized.
- They hold, once held or are about to hold strong desires.
Their Phantom Thief forms reflect the cognition of their desires that have reached their strongest level, which are regarded as a positive sign in the current world where desire is being taken away. During battles, they also support the protagonist in a role similar to idols. Therefore, Merope names them Kaidols, which is an original blend word combining kai- from kaito (怪盗, the Japanese word for Phantom Thief) and -dol from idol.
Their Personas are named Persona II (duo, which means "two" in Latin), as they are defined as derivatives of the protagonist's Persona and join the battle along with the protagonist as a duo.
Certain true thieves and phantom idols can appear in multiple variations (for example Tomoko and Summer Tomoko) who differ in either role or element. The variants carry the same Persona or Persona II as the original character.

Gameplay[]

A glossy Shibuya in the rain.
Much of the gameplay takes direct reference from Persona 5, where the protagonist will live a dual life between spending time in the real world, as well as roaming and fighting in the Metaverse. The game does not follow a calendar system; the protagonist's free time in the city is only limited by a special currency taking the form of hourglasses. Despite this, however, the calendar does appear in the game, albeit superficially and seemingly only used to track the days playing the game.[44] This also means there are no deadlines in this game and the protagonist can take as long as necessary to clear story missions.
When it comes to the overworld, very few things have seen changes. Many of the locations (such as Shibuya and Yongen-Jaya) resemble their original game counterparts and activities (like batting and fishing) are also unchanged. However, there are some new locations to visit, such as Zoshigaya, and some new activities like playing music or soccer. There is also a gachapon (and as of Update 3.0.2 a claw game) the protagonist can play and try to get rewards that can be used to decorate the protagonist’s house. While this game has the same social stat system as Persona 5, the stats can be raised to a much higher amount. Similarly, the game has Synergy Links, which function near identically to the Confidant system, only with more ranks, usually ranging from 15 to 20. Despite this, for most of the ranks only ten of them have events. There also are some non confidant characters that have side quests the protagonist can complete to get rewards.
Within the Metaverse, Mementos has been entirely overhauled, no longer being procedurally generated and has set regions. Aside from that, most of the Metaverse in general has seen little changes. Thieves Tool crafting is still present and the Palaces function identically to their Persona 5 Royal iterations. There is a mysterious park within the Metaverse that functions somewhat like the Thieves Den, having the ability to be customized. As of update 3.0.1, Thieves Den itself returns only the decoration that are placed down do give bonuses, whereas in Persona 5 Royal, the decorations were just cosmetic. In both locations, any party members the player has (both true thief and phantom idol) can be summoned. [45] As of update 2.3.2, Tycoon from Persona 5 Royal can be played with a couple chances such as the new Wonder Card. This mode can be played with CPUs or online.
The game’s combat has been simplified a fair bit. For starters, each character’s Persona (or Persona II) have only three skills available. This also applies to the personas the main character acquires. Each party member has two passive skills and Awareness. While One Mores, Baton Passes, Gun Attacks and All-out Attacks all return from the predecessor, they have also been simplified, (with the exception of Gun Attacks). Downing an enemy, rather than allowing a party member to freely act again with any of their available skills, grants the option of either using a single fixed skill—typically (but not always) an attack keyed to their element, or Baton Passing to let an ally do the same. All-Out Attacks can now be initiated by any party member (except navigators) once every enemy has been downed. A new feature to this game are Highlight Attacks which are performed in a similar vein to Showtime Attacks, albeit it is performed with only one character rather than two. After charging up a meter, a character can be selected and they will use a Highlight attack. Some Highlight attacks like Lufel's are stat buffs or health recovery rather than attacks. The protagonist's highlight has different versions depending on which type Persona that he has summoned with during the battle.
Combat mechanics for the Persona 3 Reload characters function a bit differently. They use Theurgy as opposed to highlight attacks and have a one time use assist skill as opposed to Gun Skills. The UI for the Persona 3 characters is also in the Reload style as opposed to the Persona 5 appearance.
The method of character obtainment is via a gacha banner system. It is explained that characters obtained in this fashion are cognitive manifestations of the original individual taken from the Sea of Souls, and not the real person. As you obtain duplicates of a character, they will gain Awareness which improves the characters skills and abilities. There is also a seperate gacha to obtain weapons for each character. The weapons from the gacha give an specific benefit to the character who equips them. Certain character are variations of another and you can’t put two versions of the same character on one team (for example you can’t have base Mont, and Figure Skating Mont on the same team).
There are two different stories happening around the same time, the main story and CrossFates. The main story entails the protagonist, Lufel and their team of Phantom Thieves exploring the Metaverse for a singular goal, figuring out what is causing everyone to lose their desires.
The CrossFates are the collab stories between the P5X cast, and the cast of previous entries. For the Persona 5 CrossFate, the new characters team up alongside the original Phantom Thieves of Hearts in order to investigating the odd place that looks like original Palaces from respectively game, but with mixed some of parts from P5X Palaces (like Dam of Wraths' robot control panel mechanics) and facing off against shadows that resemble the Persona 5 bosses. These shadows carry the same names as The Three Poisons of Buddhism.
The Persona 3 Crossfate entail the Protagonist, Lufel, and Riko, getting warped back in time, and teaming up with S.E.E.S to explore Tartarus.
At specific time periods there are also mini story events that the protagonist can partake in. These events mainly involve interacting with a specific set of characters. There have been three events so far: A Summer event involving all of the playable characters, Tomoko and Merope, where they all head to the beach, a Chinese New Year Event involving Yaoling, Reo, Minami and Yumi, in which they all partake in a festival and a Valentine’s Day event involving the protagonist, Lufel and Shun.
