*Persona 5: The Phantom X* (P5X) is ready to broaden its horizons with a dedicated social media account for its English version. This move hints at an imminent release date, which may be disclosed during the livestream scheduled for May 15 at 7:00 AM PT on Atlus' official western YouTube channel. The excitement was sparked by a Twitter (X) post from P5X Official West on May 15, announcing this major event.

The livestream isn't just about announcements; it will also feature special guests from the game’s cast, including Kaede Hondo, the voice of Motoha Arai, and Chika Anzai, the voice of Yui.

*Persona 5: The Phantom X* first hit selected regions in April 2024, and there's speculation that the Western release might be announced during the upcoming stream. The developers hinted at their plans for English localization during the game’s first anniversary livestream, and the official account teased, "The release date for Japan will surely be announced, but what about the West? Be sure to tune in and find out!"
Japanese Release Coming Soon
The livestream will also shed light on P5X's Japanese (JP) release, a topic that was touched upon during the game’s first anniversary celebration. Atlus has confirmed that the game will launch in Japan during Summer 2025, and pre-registrations are already open on P5X’s JP website.
In their Fiscal Year 2025 Results Presentation on May 12, Sega Sammy Holdings, a Japanese global holding company and conglomerate, included *Persona 5: The Phantom X* in their roll-out schedule.
