Persona 5: The Phantom X is now available in Southeast Asia! Dive into a new storyline, meet fan-favourite characters, and join special events before July 31. Here’s everything you need to know.
After months of anticipation, Persona 5: The Phantom X is now officially available in Southeast Asia. Players in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines can finally download and play the newest addition to the Persona universe. The wait may have felt long, especially with earlier releases in other regions, but now the full experience is live, and it’s packed with fresh content and exciting crossover events.
Persona 5: The Phantom X (often called P5X) brings a brand-new storyline while keeping the familiar vibe that made Persona 5 a fan favorite. Although the story is set in a parallel universe, it holds true to the core elements of the original series: stylish design, memorable music, and strategic turn-based combat. Instead of following Joker, the iconic lead of Persona 5, players will step into the shoes of a new protagonist named Wonder. Just like before, you'll lead a group of Phantom Thieves, explore supernatural realms, and dive into the hearts of corrupt individuals to bring justice.
This mobile and PC RPG is free-to-play, with a gacha system at its core. Players can unlock new characters and gear through random pulls, but the game also offers regular rewards and bonuses that make progress feel rewarding. Especially during the launch period, there are plenty of chances to earn free summons and in-game items perfect for getting started without spending money.
Even though the game introduces a fresh cast, it doesn’t forget its roots. A special crossover event is currently live, running until July 31. During this limited-time event, players can recruit classic characters from Persona 5, including Joker, who appears as a powerful 5-star unit. This feature bridges the new storyline with the original game, allowing longtime fans to reconnect with beloved characters while still enjoying the new setting and heroes.
Developed by Perfect World Games in collaboration with Atlus’s P-Studio, Persona 5: The Phantom X was crafted to feel both familiar and fresh. For Southeast Asian players, the game is published by IWPLAY, which helps provide proper localization and support for the region. Whether you're playing on Android, iOS, or PC, the game is fully accessible. You just need to download it from your device’s app store or from the official P5X website if you're on PC.
With the SEA launch now live, this is the perfect time for both returning fans and newcomers to jump in. The mix of a new protagonist, classic Persona mechanics, and a crossover with original characters makes Persona 5: The Phantom X a strong follow-up for the series. Don’t forget to take part in the launch events before they end on July 31, and start building your dream Phantom Thieves team today.
