The journey of Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X) towards a global audience continues as a dedicated social media account for the English version has been launched.

The livestream is set to be a star-studded event, featuring special guests from the game's cast, including Kaede Hondo, the voice of Motoha Arai, and Chika Anzai, the voice of Yui. They will be joined by key figures from the development team such as P5X Chief Producer Yohsuke Uda, Development Director Yusuke Nitta from ATLUS, and Development Producer Jun Matsunaga and Live Ops Director Yuta Sakai from SEGA.
