But after four hours with Persona 5: The Phantom X, I can already tell it's the one to reel me back in. While Phantom X has been out in China for nearly a year, it’s finally making its worldwide debut on June 26. That figure is the protagonist of Phantom X, who wakes up from a dream in a sweat. Remarkably, Phantom X has almost the same structure as Persona 5 — in terms of story flow and exploration. Combat in Phantom X feels like a slightly simplified, faster version of Persona 5.
