PS5 Port of Persona 5 Spin-Off Likely to Follow International Release as Summer Events Get Underway in Asia | Push Square
As previously reported, developer Perfect World Entertainment is planning to port free-to-play spin-off Persona 5: The Phantom X to consoles, presumably including PS5 – but that work’s not likely to get underway until the title’s available internationally. The release is currently available in various Asian countries, like China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Korean, but is now plotting a global launch.
Collaborations with Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden planned
Despite originally being developed for PC and mobile, the gameplay sticks closely to the formula established by the main Persona 5 game, and therefore should transition fairly well to consoles. Speaking at an offline event in Shanghai earlier this month, as reported by Persona Central, there are plans to include more of the environments from the original campaign, such as pyramid and space station. These will be added after the current summer events.
A weeb's wonderland
Speaking of which, a new trailer showcases the kind of fun in the sun fans can expect from the release’s latest summer event:
Will you be checking Persona 5: The Phantom X out when it releases internationally – or will you be holding out for the inevitable PS5 port?

Could be fun. I've warmed up to Free to play over the years. Still waiting for P6 though.
The summer event looks quite fun! That's the problem with these games launching late, international will miss it all.
Has anyone here tried this game out? How does it work and does it just feel like a weird reskin of Persona 5? Because that's what it looks like sometimes to the untrained eye.
@ShogunRok There's some weird PC modded English language gameplay
