Persona 5 The Phantom X, Atlus’ latest entry in the Persona universe, quickly sparked excitement about a possible anime adaptation. Given the huge global release and the series’ history with hit anime and OVA projects, here’s what fans can expect as of October 2025.

Is There an Official P5X Anime Announcement?

At the time of writing, there has been no official announcement of a full anime adaptation for Persona 5 The Phantom X (Anime News Network, PersonaCentral news). During Anime Expo 2025, producers from Atlus and Sega answered questions about future projects, but did not confirm any plans for a separate TV series, movie, or OVA.

The game’s Western launch was heavily featured at Anime Expo, including live concerts and a behind-the-scenes panel with the original Persona composer and vocalist Lyn (Anime Expo panel summary).

What About Anime-Style Cutscenes in the Game?

Persona 5 The Phantom X includes gorgeous anime-style cutscenes integrated into the main story and event openings (Megami Tensei Wiki). These sequences are produced by a top-tier animation team, the same studio that contributed to Persona 5 Royal’s anime sequences and OPs.

If you’re hoping for full anime episodes, the game’s cutscenes are a great start, but so far, these are exclusive to the in-game experience (Persona5X official site).

What Fans Should Watch For

  • If P5X maintains its global popularity, a dedicated anime adaptation could follow just as Persona 5, Persona 4, and Persona 3 received animated series and movies (Wikipedia overview).
  • Atlus and SEGA have not ruled out an anime, and have discussed future cross-media projects in industry interviews (Anime News Network interview).
  • For now, fans can enjoy anime-style trailers and promotional videos, which appear at major expos and events (Persona5X SEA press release).

Community Rumors & Speculation

Reddit and social media buzz continue, with fans pointing to previous success stories, especially after global feature appearances at Anime Expo (Reddit expo thread). If an adaptation is greenlit, expect an announcement first at major anime conventions or via Atlus’ official production channels.
