Persona 5 Spin-Off: What P5T Could Mean

Rumors and a recent domain registration suggest that fans of Persona 5 may have another spin-off title to look forward to. The newly registered Japanese domain, P5T.jp, has no publicly available ownership information, but developer Atlus has a history of using this naming convention for its Persona games when registering online domains. This has led fans to speculate about the possibility of a new spin-off entry in the works, alongside the developer's other rumored projects.

Persona 5 has already seen several spin-off titles, including Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Persona 5 Strikers, and the enhanced version of the original game, Persona 5 Royal. Additionally, the mobile title Persona 5: The Phantom X recently debuted in a closed beta exclusive to China. Despite rumors of a Persona 3 remake and the development of the next mainline entry in the series, it's possible that Atlus is not yet finished with Persona 5 spin-offs.

P5T Could Hint at a Global Release for Persona 5: The Phantom X

The recently concluded closed beta for Persona 5: The Phantom X may have been the first glimpse for many fans, but the game was actually announced in April 2021 with the working title Code Name: X. Developed by Black Wings Game Studio and published by Perfect World Games, with collaboration from Sega and Atlus, the game has thus far only been confirmed for release in China. However, with the registration of the P5T domain, there is speculation that Atlus may be preparing for an announcement of a global release. While it may seem more logical to register the P5X domain to align with the game's branding, it is possible that the P5T domain name was chosen due to the possibility of localized versions of the game with different titles. Fans are eagerly anticipating a worldwide release of Persona 5: The Phantom X, as the game promises to deliver an experience akin to the original Persona 5, but on a mobile platform and featuring new characters and dungeons.

P5T Could Be an Unannounced Game

The domain name "P5T" could potentially be referencing an unannounced spin-off title within the Persona 5 universe. The "T" in the name suggests that the game could possibly be called Persona 5 Tactics and feature gameplay similar to Devil Survivor, another Shin Megami Tensei spin-off series. A tactics game featuring the beloved cast of Persona 5 would likely be very popular, especially given the success of games like Fire Emblem. However, it is also possible that the domain registration has no relation to Atlus or Persona 5 at all, and that Atlus simply registered it to prevent others from using it. Until an official announcement is made, fans can only speculate about the possibility of more Persona 5 content.

Persona 5 Royal is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
