Persona 5: The Phantom X 2.0 Update Arrives with Major Content

• Persona 5: The Phantom X rolls out its extensive version 2.0 update
• This update introduces a completely new story chapter and the Kichijoji district to discover
• A fresh party member also joins the team: Riko Tanemura

Though it sparked some controversy—particularly for those with unpleasant memories of subway pushers—Persona 5: The Phantom X has been largely well-received. The latest update elevates the game to version 2.0 with significant new content.

The headline addition is a brand-new story chapter—Phase One of Chapter Three, titled “Unconditional Love.” Kokatsu Academy welcomes a new education consultant whose strict vision of righteousness appears suspicious. As expected, you and the Phantom Thieves must uncover the truth.

This chapter introduces Riko Tanemura (code name: Wind) as a playable character. Previously part of the Disciplinary Committee, Tanemura serves as a support unit, taking on the role of commander and strategist. She executes impressive All-Out Attacks, reduces enemy Down Points, and elevates the entire party's HP, Attack, and Defense at the start of combat.

Pushing Forward

Although the subway-pusher narrative in Phantom X drew some criticism, the game continues to impress with compelling new storylines and characters in this update.

Players can now visit the Kichijoji district, which offers a variety of part-time jobs, new characters, and storylines. Additionally, the five-star Phantom Thief Ayaka Sai joins the Most Wanted Phantom Idol Contracts, and the Silent Pistol becomes available through Arms Deals.

With such a large cast, choosing the right character can be challenging. That’s why we’ve put together a Persona 5: The Phantom X tier list to help you invest your resources wisely.
