Persona 5: The Phantom X version 3.3 adds Firecracker Yaoling "Rin" Li with Lunar New Year event
Sega and Atlus have updated the Japanese and Global English servers of Persona 5: The Phantom X to version 3.3. This update notably comes with a Lunar New Year event that also brings the seasonal Firecracker version of Yaoling "Rin" Li as a new 5-star character recruitable via the limited gacha banner.
Firecracker Yaoling finally makes her appearance in the Japanese and Global servers after a shift in the update schedule. Atlus and Sega opted to launch the preceding version 3.2 update with Tempest Riko "Wind" Tanemura and the main story's Chapter 3 climax, followed by a Valentine Special event that also added Mio "Matoi" Natsukawa. In the earlier East Asian servers, Firecracker Yaoling originally appeared before both characters as the schedule was lined up better for the Lunar New Year celebrations in the region.
You can find the archived pre-launch livestream of version 3.3 and a copy of its patch notes right below. The Southeast Asian server is expected to get this update roughly a week later. Persona 5: The Phantom X is available worldwide on PC, iOS, and Android.
