Persona 5: The Phantom X version 3.6 update adds new Persona 5 Royal crossover episode with Goro "Crow" Akechi
Sega and Atlus have released a new update for the Japanese and Global releases of Persona 5: The Phantom X that brings the version up to 3.6. The primary highlights of this update are the additions of Goro "Crow" Akechi as a new recruitable Phantom Thief, as well as the continuation of the Persona 5 Royal crossover story.
The new content directly continues the episode that appeared in Version 3.4 and starred Kasumi "Violet" Yoshizawa (the Version 3.5 update released in between primarily added Mayumi "Turbo" Hashimoto as the fifth and last non-limited 5-star character; she is expected to join the regular banner in the global servers around 6 months later). With this update, all playable party members in the mainline Persona 5 and Royal (Joker, Mona, Skull, Panther, Fox, Queen, Navi/Oracle, Noir, Crow, and Violet) are now available in P5X.
This Version 3.6 update also comes with a new Synergy episode line starring Manaka Nagao. In the earlier East Asian releases, her Phantom Idol release would also coincide with a major update that brings the game up to Version 4.0 with the launch of the 4th arc in P5X's main story.
Below you can find an archive of the Version 3.6 information stream, as well as excerpts from the press release Sega has shared with us. 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.
The new 5★ Phantom Thief Goro Akechi joins P5X:
The new 5★ Phantom Thief Goro Akechi from Persona 5 Royal makes his debut in the Most Wanted Phantom Idol Contract, which has a higher drop rate for certain Phantom Thieves. His exclusive 5★ weapon is also available from the Arms Deals: Silent Pistol.
Goro Akechi is a 5★ Almighty Sweeper, who excels at dealing massive Almighty damage, especially when paired with powerful attacker allies. He can also use Bless attribute attacks to boost ally damage and Curse attribute attacks to reduce enemy defense. Additionally, Akechi’s Flames of Desire supports all attributes and can activate up to three different Flames of Desire effects depending on the party composition, increasing his damage output accordingly. As a main attacker, he synergizes well with Sweepers, boosting the overall damage of the party while unleashing powerful Almighty attacks.
