Summary
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a new game by developer Atlus, available on mobile and computer.
It is a free-to-play spinoff of the popular console game Persona 5, featuring new characters but the same gameplay style.
Persona 5: The Phantom X will be released in the US and other western countries on June 26, 2023.
This date is notable as it has been available in China through an open beta for the past year.
The game will be a gacha game, which is a genre of video game that uses loot boxes to promote extended play.
This article focusses on the criticism that the game company, Atlus, has milking the popular Persona 5 franchise, by releasing so many spinoffs, and that this game echoes negatively of other popular gacha games like Genshin Impact.
