Persona 5: The Phantom X has officially opened an English-language social media account, and it's teased that the western version will get an announcement on May 15. The exciting announcement has been long-awaited by fans of Persona 5, who have been intrigued by the mobile spin-off Persona 5: The Phantom X.

Persona 5: The Phantom X originally launched a year ago, but has been limited to select areas. At Tokyo Game Show 2024, Atlus revealed that Persona 5: The Phantom X would finally be coming to Japan, and a beta test followed later that year. Now, the game is gearing up for its official Japanese launch, but it's not leaving English speakers in the cold.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is holding a live stream on May 15 at 7 AM PT that will include the "first announcement" regarding an English version of the game. The stream is primarily being held to build hype and announce the release date for the Japanese version of Persona 5: The Phantom X. Atlus previously teased that something would be said regarding additional translations during this event, but has now opened an official western social media account for the game, which encouraged fans to tune in for the "first announcement."

Persona 5: The Phantom X May Still Be a Way Off for Western Fans

While this is exciting news, Persona players may want to temper their expectations of the event. With Persona 5: The Phantom X only now getting an official release date announcement for the Japanese version of the game, it's likely that the English-language translation is still several months - or more - out. While it's possible that Atlus has a surprise up its sleeve, chances are it would have hyped the event much more towards westerners if it were to also announce an actual date for the English version during this live stream.

Persona 5 continues to hold players in its grip. For many fans, it was an introduction to the long-running series, and a series of spin-offs and Persona 5 Royal have kept fans excited about the Phantom Thieves. Persona 5: The Phantom X may offer players a way to return to that exciting world while introducing a new cast and story to explore. However, some have expressed caution and concern, given that the title is a mobile spin-off with microtransactions. Meanwhile, others are more than ready to move on and are eagerly awaiting the day that Atlus officially reveals Persona 6 to the public.
