A New Phantom Thief Adventure Begins
*Phantom X* introduces a brand-new protagonist and a fresh crew of Phantom Thieves, exploring a stylized rendition of modern-day Tokyo. The game features original palaces, new mementos, and the signature dual-life gameplay loop that fans love—balancing daily routines with high-stakes dungeon crawling.
True to the series’ roots, the game retains turn-based combat, social-sim elements, and the mysterious Velvet Room. Players will encounter Lefaye, a talking owl who serves as a guide, alongside familiar faces like the enigmatic long-nosed Igor and his assistants. The story kicks off with the protagonist awakening from a nightmare into a distorted reality, setting the stage for a journey of rebellion, self-discovery, and psychological depth.
Additional features include a guild system, the PvE challenge mode *Velvet Trials*, and deeper social interactions that shape your character’s growth. With a mix of new content and nostalgic callbacks, *Phantom X* aims to honor the legacy of *Persona 5* while carving its own identity.
