During the second closed beta test, you’ll get a chance to recruit and use Shun Kanou. He had previously appeared as an NPC in the first one. However, you’ll get to actually control him as a Persona user this time. You’ll also meet Li Yaoling, who is a mysterious transfer student from China. She is also a Persona user, as we can see from her All-Out Attack cut-in. There are also some familiar faces, such as Skull and Mona, in it. As a reminder, the previous cast of Persona 5 will also be in The Phantom X.

You have until August 14, 2023 to apply for the Awakening Test, which will then run from August 18-25, 2023. Perfect World Games will reach out to you on August 17, 2023 to tell you if they accepted you. You will need to have a TapTap UID in order to apply.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is in development for mobile devices. It is unclear if it will appear worldwide. However, seeing as the English Perfect World Games account made a Tweet about it, it seems that there is a possibility for a global release.
