Atlus remains committed to expanding the Persona universe, forging ahead despite a lukewarm reception to the launch of Persona 5: The Phantom X.
The monumental success of Persona 5 propelled the franchise into the mainstream spotlight, securing massive returns for both Atlus and Sega. This financial triumph allowed the studio to invest in direct sequels, various spin-offs, and high-quality remakes of legacy titles. However, their latest experimental venture—Persona 5: The Phantom X—has so far failed to recreate that same lightning-in-a-bottle magic.
According to data from How Long To Beat, the title earned the dubious honor of being the most rapidly abandoned game of 2025, a sentiment reflected in its underwhelming 49% positive rating on Steam.
Nevertheless, the developers are doubling down on their efforts, releasing fresh promotional material to showcase the wealth of content currently planned for this free-to-play adventure.
