Atlus Teases Persona 5: The Phantom X and Big Unannounced Project for 2025

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that 2024 has been a year of unprecedented success for Atlus, and it seems like they’re just getting started. The teases for what’s to come in 2025 have left me buzzing with anticipation.

2024 has proven to be a prosperous year for Atlus, as they’ve released four highly successful major titles – Persona 3: Reloaded, Unicorn Overlord, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Despite the impressive accomplishments, Atlus isn’t taking a break; instead, they’re gearing up for more. In a recent 4Gamer issue, the studio hinted at what fans can anticipate in 2025, including details about both announced and unannounced titles.

4Gamer had a sit-down with various Atlus team members, gathering unique insights from each group. One particularly intriguing inquiry was, “What are your goals for the year 2025, and what would you like to tell our 4Gamer readers?” The responses to this question have sparked much excitement and anticipation among fans.

A notable response came from Yosuke Uda from the 2nd Creative Department at P Studio, who said, “We are working hard on the release for Persona 5: The Phantom X! Please continue to support Atlus in 2025, and not just for this title!” Persona 5: The Phantom X is a previously announced mobile spin-off of Persona 5, featuring new characters, gameplay, and stories. But Uda’s follow-up sentence gives the impression even more titles are in the works.

According to Shinjiro Takada, who manages Atlus’ 1st Creative Department, he hinted at a new title that they are eager to unveil soon. Currently, the team is diligently working on its development to make it as enjoyable as possible for fans. With Takada’s previous works like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance under his belt, many are speculating that we might be seeing a new addition to the Shin Megami Tensei series.

In summary, Kazuhisa Wada, the Creative Producer and Chief Director of the Persona Team, hinted at significant announcements for 2025. He mentioned that they will continue to guide several large-scale projects, which could potentially include new installments in the Persona or Shin Megami Tensei series, additional content for Metaphor: ReFantazio, or even a PC version of Unicorn Overlord. The specifics remain unspecified.

In certain regions, “Persona 5: The Phantom X” has been launched, but it’s yet to hit the US market. Given the surge in popularity of the Persona series in the United States, a mobile gacha game could potentially be successful. Such titles are a lucrative method for studios to earn money and invest it into other projects, much like Shift Up funded “Stellar Blade” through its gacha game, “Goddess of Victory: Nikke”. Exciting times lie ahead for Atlus fans in 2025 and beyond, with plenty of games to enjoy while they patiently wait.
