Atlus signals Phantom X is coming West
After a long wait, Atlus appears to be preparing for the Western release of Persona 5: Phantom X. The mobile game has already seen regional launches in Asia, and now signs point to a global expansion. The clearest indicator came via Atlus West’s official Twitter/X account, which recently posted a teaser tweet referencing the Phantom Thieves and stating: “The Phantom Thieves never sleep…”
This cryptic message, coupled with increasing promotional activity, suggests that an official reveal could happen this week. Atlus has not yet provided a release date or supported platforms for the Western version, but mobile and PC are expected based on the game’s original regions.
Why fans are excited about Phantom X?
Persona 5: Phantom X is a free-to-play mobile and PC RPG set in the Persona 5 universe. It features new characters, a new protagonist, and all-new storylines, but still retains the stylish, turn-based combat and school-life elements the series is known for. Originally launched in China and select regions through Perfect World Games, Phantom X has garnered strong interest globally due to its quality and connection to the mainline Persona series.
The potential launch in the West would mark the first official expansion of this game beyond Asia, finally giving English-speaking players access without the need for third-party translation tools or region-specific accounts.
When is the official announcement expected?
While Atlus hasn’t confirmed the exact day, sources suggest that the reveal could happen before the end of this week. It has been revealed that new information for P5X will be announced during a livestream on Thursday, May 15, at 7am PT/10am ET/2pm BST. So, Phantom X Western release may be part of a broader marketing push for Atlus titles.
Conclusion
The wait for a global launch of Persona 5: Phantom X might finally be over. Atlus is clearly setting the stage for a major reveal, and all signs point to an imminent Western debut. Fans eager to dive into this spin-off can expect more news very soon.
