Sega has revealed in its latest fiscal report that it's considering releasing Persona 5: The Phantom X in regions outside of China, Taiwan, and Korea.

That silence has mostly remained, but it does seem like it's at least considering the possibility for the future.

The presentation says that future expansion into Japan and globally is being considered, which seems to mean that it's not currently set
