Persona 5: The Phantom X Features Blood Outside China

Atlus revealed that Persona 5: The Phantom X will feature blood in the game’s Persona awakening scenes outside of China. The awakening scene for P5X protagonist Wonder has been shown to include blood in the new Japanese version of the game.

As depicted by X (formerly Twitter) user @chewingsoul and YouTube channel Tenro, the Tokyo Game Show 2024 Sega and Atlus booth featured various videos and trailers for the Japanese version of the long-awaited Persona 5: The Phantom X. One of the videos shown during the first two TGS business days includes a scene depicting Wonder summoning his Persona for the first time in the game.

In the original South Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese release versions of the game, the aforementioned awakening scene didn’t include blood. Meanwhile, the newly unveiled Japanese version of the game will feature blood in the awakening scene, in a similar fashion to the original Persona 5 awakening scenes.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is now available on PC, Android, and iOS mobile devices in South Korea, Taiwan, and China. The game will appear in Japan, where a new Closed Beta Test is scheduled to appear prior to its release. Pre-registrations for the CBT close on October 6, 2024.
