Persona 5: The Phantom X International Version to Receive Accelerated Updates

Atlus and Perfect World announced plans for ongoing updates to the international release of free-to-play title Persona 5: The Phantom X. The game’s Version 1.1 update will be available today, which unlocks the main story up until the end of its second chapter as well as adding new “Metro of Desire” content and more Synergy, Side Mission, and City Life events. In addition, the companies announced that the international version will receive new updates in an accelerated schedule to help catch up to the versions originally released in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea in 2024.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is currently available on PC, iOS, and Android. It is developed by Perfect World’s Black Wings Game Studio under supervision from Atlus. 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.
