Persona 5 X Trailer Introduces Shun Kanou and Wonder’s VA

Some more information has come out about Persona 5: The Phantom X, including a second beta test, a new playable character (Shun Kanou), and Wonder’s Japanese voice actor. You will be able to see it all in the new trailer. The second beta test for the game will start in Q3 2023. Pre-registration is open, but it’s still unclear when to expect the final version of the game.

For starters, Koki Uchiyama will voice Wonder, the main protagonist, in Persona 5: The Phantom X. Uchiyama has had a long and prolific career since his childhood. Aside from appearing as Roxas and Ventus in the Kingdom Hearts series, he’s been Tsukishima in Haikyuu, Razor in Genshin Impact, Meruem in Hunter x Hunter, and Shiragaki in My Hero Academia.

The new Persona 5: The Phantom X trailer (which we can watch via Taptap) also focuses on the party member Shun Kanou. Despite his cold looks and brusque attitude, he has his own sense of justice. Due to this personality, he falls into a trap that a more prominent member of society sets. It’s likely that Wonder and the other Phantom Thieves have to rescue him. Some of the scenes from the trailer seemed to also show characters that Perfect World has not shown in previous promotional materials. So it seems like this game will have a larger playable cast than the original Persona 5 games.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is in development for mobile devices. The second closed beta will run in Q3 2023.
