Persona 5: The Phantom X Adds Joker at Launch

Atlus announced that Persona 5 protagonist Joker will be available on free-to-play title Persona 5: The Phantom X when it launches internationally for PC, iOS, and Android on June 26, 2025. In addition, a new event based on Persona 5 will be available in the game with original content and appearances by other members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. The announcement comes with a gameplay preview video featuring Joker’s Japanese voice actor Jun Fukuyama, viewable below with English subtitles.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is developed by Perfect World’s Black Wings Game Studio under supervision from Atlus, originally released for mobile in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea in 2024. The game is set in the same modern-day Tokyo as Persona 5, though it features a new set of Phantom Thieves led by a new protagonist codenamed Wonder. It features a new story where desires have been lost as well as various side events and stories, with the original Phantom Thieves appearing in special contracts. The game features similar dungeon-crawling and social sim elements to Persona 5, including new palaces, Personas, modes, and mini-games, while other elements have been adapted.
