PERSONA5: THE PHANTOM X : GAME PROFILE

Persona5: The Phantom X is a turn-based RPG set in modern Tokyo, following a high-school student who becomes the Phantom Thief known as Wonder after people's desires begin disappearing. During everyday life, players attend school, explore the city, take part-time jobs, and build Synergy relationships that strengthen the protagonist. In the Metaverse, the team infiltrates Palaces, fights Shadows by exploiting weaknesses, collects and fuses Personas, and steals Treasures from corrupted Rulers. Character recruitment uses Phantom Idol Contracts, while characters from Persona 5 can also fight alongside the new cast.

Gameplay and setting

Combat uses the series' turn-based Persona battle system, where exploiting an enemy's elemental weakness grants extra actions and sets up team attacks. Outside of combat, players balance School Life activities such as clubs, part-time jobs, and social bonds with Phantom Thief duties inside the Metaverse. The Synergy System lets the protagonist build relationships with citizens who have lost their desires, unlocking new abilities and story content. A gacha-based Phantom Idol Contract system is used to recruit new playable Phantom Thieves and Personas, including guest appearances by original Persona 5 characters such as Joker, Ann Takamaki, and Morgana. The story is set in a dark, hope-drained version of Tokyo, where players infiltrate Palaces hidden inside Mementos to steal the Treasures of corrupted Rulers.
