Persona 5: The Phantom X takes place in modern-day Tokyo, the same setting as Persona 5 (2016), and follows a group of characters that wield the power of Persona. It combines elements of social simulation, as the protagonist uses his free time to raise stats and forge bonds with characters, and dungeon crawling in the alternate world known as the Metaverse. The cognitive versions of the people met in the city, including the Phantom Thieves of Hearts from the original game, can be summoned for use in the Metaverse through a gacha system.
Several staff members from Persona 5 were involved in the development, including series producer Kazuhisa Wada as the project supervisor, artist Shigenori Soejima as the character designer for the protagonist Wonder and his Persona, Ryota Kozuka as the opening theme composer, and vocalist Lyn.
