Persona 5: The Phantom X Mobile Game Brings New Characters and Original Story
Unlike the mainline Persona 5, The Phantom X introduces a parallel universe narrative centered around a new protagonist who awakens from a nightmare into a world devoid of hope. Players will meet intriguing new characters such as Lefaye, an eloquent owl; a mysterious long-nosed man; and a woman dressed in blue, hinting at ties to the iconic Velvet Room from the Persona series.
The story unfolds as players explore both the Metaverse and the Velvet Room, uncovering dark visions threatening the world. Alongside new Phantom Thieves like the protagonist codenamed “Wonder” and the mascot Lufel (“Cattle”), familiar faces from Persona 5-including all original Phantom Thieves and Kasumi Yoshizawa-make appearances, blending nostalgia with fresh content.
