Under license from the company, Persona 5: The Phantom X initially soft-launched for mobile and PC in China on April 12, 2024, followed by subsequent releases on April 18 in Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, and Taiwan.

The P5X protagonist is initially assigned with the new Persona, named Janosik, based on Slovakian literature and is described as adopting the "Robin Hood" ensemble. The Joker, protagonist from the P5 series, is part of Wonder’s crew, along with a new character named Yu.

As with the mainline Persona titles, Persona 5: The Phantom X incorporates the turn-based combat system, social sim, and dungeon crawling aspects of the JRPG series, but with a twist. The game adopts a gacha-based system for acquiring new characters.

SEGA’s FY25 Forecast and Mid-Term Changes

In line with this, SEGA announced that its business structure will undergo changes, establishing a new ‘Gaming Business’ segment. Sega will advocate further for online gaming, stating that it expects to enter the online gaming market in North America and establish this as the third pillar of their business model.

Apart from online gaming, SEGA’s new Gaming Business segment will include development, manufacturing, and sale of slot machines by SEGA SAMMY CREATION, and the operation business of integrated resort facilities by PARADISE SEGASAMMY, among others.

For FY2025, Sega forecasted an increase in sales and profits year-on-year. Overall, the Full Game segment is expected to net 93 billion Yen (approximately 597 billion USD), a 5.4% increase from 88.1 billion Yen from the FY2024/3 full year results. Sega also anticipated the release of a new title of Sonic series, one of their mainstay IPs, for next year.
