- Persona 5: The Phantom X is out now on iOS and Android
- Jump back into the world of P5 with a brand-new cast of characters
- Experience familiar and new mechanics, as well as the dual life of a student and Phantom Thief
Well, if you’re a Persona fan who’s long-been hankering to get back into the world of P5, today will be especially exciting for you. That’s because the hotly anticipated Persona 5: The Phantom X is making its way to iOS and Android in the West! And yes, Joker will be arriving to join the roster at launch too.
For those not in the know, the Persona series focuses on a mixture of traditional turn-based RPG action and more character-driven daily life. Phantom X is no different, as you’ll take on the dual role of a student and one of the vigilante group known as the Phantom Thieves.
Boasting a fully-fledged spin-off story and much of the familiar gameplay that fans of Persona and Persona 5 in particular will recognise, Phantom X boasts its own original cast as well as appearances by the original Phantom Thieves of Hearts, too.
It’s going down now
Persona’s signature mix of character-driven daily life exploring school, the city and navigating relationships with friends stands in stark contrast (intentionally) to the fast-paced turn-based combat of your double life as a Phantom Thief. Personas make a return, as well as new mechanics building on the already stylish battles of P5.
Fans can also look forward to a swathe of brand-new content completely original to Phantom X. Be that the PvE mode, The Velvet Trials, new palaces to explore, Mementos to collect and the Guild feature that lets you team up with other players.
And if Persona’s got you thinking about diving into the vibrant world of mobile RPGs, don’t find your head spinning with all the options. Instead, just check in on our list of the top 25 best mobile RPGs available now on iOS and Android to kick off your journey into fantasy, sci-fi and beyond!
