Published by Perfect World Games and developed by Black Wings Game Studio, Persona 5: The Phantom X has recently started its closed beta test in China. Many local players have shared their first gameplay footage, and based on various demonstrations from different players, it can be seen that the game inherits core elements from Persona 5 in terms of music, scene exploration, and combat gameplay.
However, since Persona 5: The Phantom X is a mobile game, it features some common gameplay of mobile games such as sign-in rewards, completing missions to unlock characters, and an in-game store. Currently, the contents of the online store include characters from the Phantom Thieves, character-exclusive weapons, and more. However, there is yet another feature called "Phantom Magic" (literal translation) that has not been made available, which is speculated to be the game's gacha system. Some players have already unpacked the game files and discovered the content of the gacha pool, which contains characters, weapons, and more.
Furthermore, players can use various resources obtained through exploration and battles to enhance their character's combat attributes, skill levels, and Personas. The LEADER of the Phantom Thieves can equip up to three Personas at the same time. More details about Persona 5: The Phantom X will be revealed in the future.
Persona 5: The Phantom X is an all-new game based on the Persona 5 universe, taking place in Tokyo and featuring an original storyline that centers around a new team of Phantom Thieves. The game's overarching theme is "desire," with a plot that follows a group of students who have unlocked their "Personas," navigating through challenges together in an era of low desire. Players will assume the role of a student who attends classes during the day and engages in activities such as baseball or watching movies with friends in their free time. When classes are over, they can enter the other world in the form of "Palaces" with unique themes and use their Personas to engage in intense battles against enemies.
