SEGA has released the first major update for Persona5: The Phantom X (P5X), marking a huge milestone since its global launch earlier this summer. Version 2.0 introduces Chapter 3: Unconditional Love, a brand-new playable character, fresh areas to explore, and a slate of login bonuses and limited-time events.
A New Chapter Begins
Chapter 3: Unconditional Love deepens the Phantom Thieves’ story as the protagonist and his allies confront a mysterious new teacher at Kokatsu Academy. Beneath his claims of “righteous reform,” the school begins to twist into something sinister. Riko Tanemura, chair of the disciplinary committee, emerges as a key figure, questioning the distortions taking hold.
Riko also joins the Phantom Thieves under the codename Wind, serving as a strategist and support character. Her skills boost the team’s survivability and amplify All-Out Attacks by up to 60%, making her a valuable addition both in battle and in narrative weight.
New Phantom Thieves and Weapons
Alongside Riko, Version 2.0 introduces Ayaka Sakai (codename: Chord), a new ★5 Phantom Thief specializing in buffs and Highlight synergy. Players can recruit her through the Most Wanted Phantom Idol Contracts: Dazzling Encore event, available until October 8. Ayaka’s exclusive weapon is also obtainable in concurrent Arms Deals.
Fan-favorite Ren Amamiya also returns as a ★5 Phantom Thief, along with his Phoenix Dagger weapon, giving players another shot at recruiting the original Phantom Magician.
Explore Kichijoji
The update adds Kichijoji as a new explorable area, expanding city-life gameplay with additional part-time jobs, characters, and stories. Real-world collaborations tied to Tokyo’s Kichijoji district are also planned, with details teased on the official website.
Events and Rewards
To celebrate Version 2.0, SEGA is rolling out login bonuses and in-game events:
- 7-Day Login Rewards (until Oct. 22): 20 Platinum Tickets, 20 Platinum Milicoins, 60 Phantom Thief Cognitite Shards, 1,000 Meta Jewels.
