Recent activity on SteamDB suggests a potential global release for the highly anticipated gacha game, Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X). However, the situation remains unclear.
SteamDB Listing Sparks Global Release Speculation
A "PERSONA5 THE PHANTOM X Playtest" entry appeared on SteamDB on October 15, 2024. While access is currently limited, possibly to playtesters (indicated by a "pwtest" username), the listing has ignited excitement among fans hoping for a wider release beyond its current Asian availability (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea). The playtest page itself is currently inaccessible, redirecting users to the Steam homepage.
Possible Focus on Japanese Release
While Atlus, SEGA, and Perfect World hinted at a broader release at a Shanghai event on July 12, 2024, and SEGA's financial report mentioned considering global expansion, the current focus appears to be on Japan. Announcements on Twitter (X) on September 25th and at Tokyo Game Show 2024 primarily highlighted the Japanese launch for both mobile and Steam. Therefore, the SteamDB listing might simply be preparation for the Japanese release rather than immediate Western market expansion.
SEGA remains tight-lipped about international plans, leaving the global release timeline uncertain. However, the enthusiasm surrounding the Japan-only playtest and the game's prominent presence at Tokyo Game Show 2024 suggests a global release is likely, even if the timing is still unknown.
Future Collaborations
Regardless of the global release date, P5X promises exciting collaborations with other Persona titles. Expect crossover events featuring Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Reload as the game expands.
