Atlus announces Persona 5: The Phantom X for PC and mobile
Fans are eager to get more information about Persona 6, or official information on the rumoured Persona 4 remake. However, Atlus has other plans for the time being. A new Persona 5 spin-off is on the way – Persona 5: The Phantom X.
Persona 5: The Phantom X is set to release for mobile devices and PC, skipping consoles. The game is set in the same universe as Persona 5 but features a new cast of characters.
As far as gameplay goes, it is pretty faithful to the traditional Persona experience with a mix of social scenes and exploring dungeons. Battles are turn-based, just as they are in the mainline Persona games.
Later this year, Atlus is rumoured to be announcing a remake of Persona 4, following a similar formula to Persona 3: Reload. Persona 6 is also said to be in the works, but it isn’t expected to release this year.
KitGuru Says: As this is a mobile game, a lot of the enjoyment will hinge on the game’s reliance on microtransactions.
