Persona 5: The Phantom X Western Release Date

June 26, 2025 (PC and mobile)

While the introduction of gacha mechanics isn't welcome by all fans of the franchise, some members of the community are wondering if it could facilitate unique crossovers going forward. The game's developers have already expressed an interest in holding crossover events, and a Metaphor: Refantazio collab is at the top of many potential players' lists. While familiar characters from Persona 5 will appear in The Phantom X, many also wonder if familiar faces from other games in the series will also show up at some point.

Rumors of Persona 6 continue to swirl, but in the meantime, many believe that another remake is on the way first. In March, a new domain registration was filed, which many believe points to a Persona 4 remake in the same vein as Persona 3 Reload. While some are eager to see the 2009 title reimagined for modern hardware, others believe that the game still holds up just fine in 2025.
