Persona 5: The Phantom X - Persona 3 Reload crossover story launches with Makoto Yuki's addition
Sega and Atlus have revealed that they will very soon launch the Persona 3 Reload crossover content in the Japanese and Global English servers of Persona 5: The Phantom X. In addition to a new crossover story, the P3R protagonist—who goes by the canon anime name Makoto Yuki—is also set to appear as a new party member recruitable via the time-limited contract gacha banner once the maintenance tomorrow on May 21 has concluded.
The official Western YouTube channel for Persona 5: The Phantom X also has several P3R crossover trailers published, including one that features a P5X jazz remix of P3R's battle theme song "It's Going Down Now".
One of the trailers also showed teasers that other party members from P3R will also be available in P5X. The earlier East Asian servers have already seen the additions of Yukari, Akihiko, Mitsuru, Fuka, Junpei, Koromaru, and Aigis. The Chinese version developer Black Wings had also promised to add Ken and Shinjiro to complete the lineup.
You can also find the new trailers and descriptions right below. Persona 5: The Phantom X is available worldwide on PC, iOS, and Android. The separate Southeast Asian version is expected to get this first P3R crossover content roughly 8 days later.
◆ Persona 3 Reload Special Event - Met by Moonlight Part 1
A hidden hour exists between one day and the next. The Dark Hour. The massive tower Tartarus appears during this Dark Hour, infested with Shadows. In this story, the Phantom Thieves from P5X wander into a place resembling Tartarus and fight alongside the members of S.E.E.S. from Persona 3 Reload.
Other familiar locations from Persona 3 Reload, such as Paulownia Mall, also appear. As the two titles intersect, players will not only see new sides of the P5X characters, but also get a closer look at the thoughts and feelings of the Persona 3 Reload characters. It's a must-see for Persona fans.
