Persona 5’s Most Controversial Spin-Off Could Be Announced for PS5 Soon
Mobile gacha game Persona 5: The Phantom X was a big deal in parts of Asia for a hot minute last year, and it looks like it’s days away from stealing the wallets of players worldwide.
Over on the official Atlus West social media accounts, the company’s started teasing a new Persona 5 adjacent project, while SEGA’s recent financial reports note that the spin-off is launching in Japan later this summer.
In its X (or Twitter) post, Atlus included an emoji of an owl, alluding to Lufel from The Phantom X, a kind of alternative to Morgana.
We know that alongside its international version, publisher Perfect World is also plotting a console release, and it seems inevitable it’ll be available on the PS5, given the popularity of other gacha games on the system, like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail.
For those who don’t know, this free-to-play game functions very similar to Persona 5, hitting the same social and dungeon crawling beats – however, the original game’s calendar is replaced with an energy system, which obviously replenishes as time passes in the real-world.
