Persona 5 Is On The Horizon But There’s Something Missing
Persona 5: The Phantom X, the highly anticipated new game in the Persona series, has finally been listed on Steam. However, the game currently only supports Simplified Chinese and Japanese. Although it has been stated that English language support may be added in the future, this has disappointed international fans. The game, which was developed for mobile platforms, will also be released for PC and consoles. The game is currently 90% of its development process.
No English Language Support for Persona 5: The Phantom X
Persona 5: The Phantom X stands out as a spin-off game set in the world of the original Persona 5, featuring a new story and characters. Players will try to solve mysterious events as a new member of the Phantom Thieves group. The game brings the series’ classic dark atmosphere and social simulation mechanics to mobile devices and PC.
The lack of language support other than Simplified Chinese and Japanese poses a significant obstacle for international players. However, the development team has been talking about the possibility of adding English language support in the future as the game nears completion. This could be a promising development, especially for English-speaking players who follow the series closely.
The game was initially developed as a mobile game for the Chinese market. The game, which began its open beta phase in China on April 12, 2024, was met with great interest. However, the lack of a global release plan makes it difficult for the game to reach a wide audience. For now, the lack of English language support limits access to the game for players in the West.
The Steam page states, “This product does not support English. Please check the list of supported languages before purchasing.” This situation is disappointing for fans as there is no clear timetable for the game’s international release. For Persona fans, the new game in the series is a great source of excitement. According to the statements made by the development studio, Persona 5: The Phantom X’s language options may be expanded over time. The game is developed with the Unity engine and optimized for both PC and consoles.
If you are a fan of the series and have knowledge of Chinese or Japanese, you can play this game. However, while English language support is expected to be added, global players will need a little more patience. Persona 5: The Phantom X seems to have great potential for those who want to explore the classic atmosphere of the series from a new perspective.
