Persona 5: The Phantom X celebrates its half-year anniversary with upcoming update

Persona 5: The Phantom X marks its six-month anniversary this holiday season with exciting updates.

  • Christine & Justine from Persona 5 Royal are now playable characters.
  • A new teaser for the first simultaneous global character release is launching soon!

Despite some initial division upon launch (remembering the infamous Subway Shover incident), Persona 5: The Phantom X has undeniably succeeded. Proof lies in its upcoming six-month anniversary celebration, which arrives alongside a massive new update.

The headline feature is the addition of two fan-favorite characters to Persona 5: The Phantom X: Justine & Caroline from Persona 5 Royal. Players familiar with Persona 5 will instantly recognize them as key figures encountered in the Velvet Room throughout that game's story.

Current gameplay details remain somewhat vague, but a full livestream reveal is scheduled for the 23rd. This event will also provide more information about the special festivities centered around these two characters on the 25th!

The festivities continue for Persona fans! To celebrate the holiday season until the 24th, you can still participate in the ongoing Advent Calendar event, which rewards players with 50 Meta Jewels and a Kagura Bell daily. Save those bells, as they will be used in an upcoming new feature.
