  • Persona 5: The Phantom X is set to introduce a new exciting character
  • Joker, from the original Persona 5 will debut at launch as a playable character
  • The Phantom X focuses on a new group of Phantom thieves with appearances from the original cast

The eagerly awaited mobile game spin-off of one of the most beloved entries in the Persona series, titled Persona 5: The Phantom X, is scheduled for launch on June 26th. Gamers who were initially considering skipping it might want to reconsider, as a well-known character from the Persona franchise is expected to make an appearance.

Indeed, it’s confirmed that the Joker, the main character from Persona 5 and head of the renowned Phantom Thieves, will be playable from day one. Moreover, an exclusive Persona 5 event promises a wealth of content for fans who have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Phantom X on iOS and Android devices.

For those unaware, Persona 5: The Phantom X is a spinoff of the original Persona 5 game, now available on mobile devices. This new adventure follows a fresh team of Phantom Thieves who take down wrongdoers in the world of shadows, while also juggling real-life high school drama and RPG combat sequences.

You’ll absolutely see it coming

It’s not altogether surprising to see Joker arrive in Persona 5: The Phantom X, as we already knew that the characters from the original P5 would be making some sort of appearance. However, it could also indicate that for a worldwide release, Sega and Atlus realise that an original protagonist may be a hard sell.

Keeping that thought in mind, the first appearance of Joker could excite many, but those who prefer Phantom X to stand independently might feel let down as it seems to rely too much on an earlier character.
