The much-awaited sequel forPersona 5,Persona 5: The Phantom X, is rapidly gaining traction due to a wealth of new information coming in due to the beta launching on July 23, 2025. Although the beta is restricted to China, players have been able to accessPersona 5: The Phantom Xvia other means.

Going by the available information,Persona 5: The Phantom Xplayers will surely feature a lot of familiar locations in-game, although more could be added in the future since the game is only in beta. While some nostalgic locations such as Shibuya Crossing might be guaranteed additions, some other options could be potentially added as the game gets developed further.
10Shujin Academy
As the school location for most ofPersona 5’s main cast, Shujin Academy has a high chance of reappearing inPersona 5: The Phantom Xdue to its significance in the previous games.
Since the protagonist (Wonder)is attending Kokatsu Academy, the inclusion of this particular location is not guaranteed. However, should the location be added to the game, Shujin Academy might act as a hub for Wonder to interact with the main cast of the originalPersona 5.
9Kanda Church
Kanda Church should be a familiar sight for every person who played the originalPersona 5as it is the location of one of the mostpopular confidants in the game, Hifumi Togo. The place is also used to buy several overpowered items that are only available on certain days of the week.
Should Kanda Church make an appearance in the game, players might be able to buy the same overpowered items. They might even meet Hifumi, playing Shogi on the bench as a callback to the originalPersona 5.
8Shibuya Underground Mall
Shibuya’s Underground Mall was another regular haunt forPersona 5players. The location became the hub for many things, including gifts, stats-increasing items, andAnn Takamaki.

Players can expect to roam the underground mall and even meet Ann herself as a cameo should the location be implemented inPersona 5: The Phantom X. A possibility includes the player earning a part-time job just like Joker, perhaps even in the same flower shop.
7Crossroads Bar
Crossroads Bar is one of the most iconic locations inPersona 5. Some of the most important events in the story happen inside this bar, including Joker’s initial interaction with the reporter Ohya Ichiko.
She also became the Devil Confidant in the game, which could lead to Joker unlockingone of the strongest Personaas a reward for maxing out tOhya’s rank. Should the location make its way toPersona 5: The Phantom X, interactions with the bar owner, Lala Escargot, and an Ohya cameo would be possible.
6Akihabara Arcade
Due to its significance inPersona 5and real life, Akihabara Arcade is a strong candidate for a reappearance inPersona 5: The Phantom X.Shinya Oda is also tied to this location, so the arcade’s inclusion could pave the way for a cameo.
Furthermore, the location could also be the main location for Wonder to acquire certain items via its Crane Game, which can be used by players of the originalPersona 5to acquire decorationsfor Joker’s room.
5Jazz Jin Club
Jazz Jin Club could be a location used byPersona 5: The Phantom Xas a means to upgrade or change a party member’sskill to adjust to the player’s playstyle, provided that mechanic is implemented.
Aside from the skill-changing option, Jazz Jin Club could also serve as the game’s jukebox for the in-game music. It could also be an option for the player to increase a confidant’s affinity level to advance its progress.
4Penguin Bar
Persona 5 Royalplayers who’d like to use Technicals and maxing out their party’s battle stats should not be strangers to the Penguin Bar. The location serves as a means for them to enhance Technicals damages and options by playing the famous Darts game, which also functions as a fun break for the players to relax before going further intoPalaces heists which can be intense.

Aside from increasing Technicals' damages, the bar also functions as a way for the player to advance a confidant’s progress. The location has a possibility of functioning the same should it make a reappearance inPersona 5: The Phantom X.
3Odaiba Seaside Park
AlthoughOdaiba Seaside Park only serves as a place to hang outand the occasional confidant events inPersona 5, the location could make its comeback inPersona 5: The Phantom X.
The scenic sight could be expanded upon in the upcoming title, allowing Wonder to experience more of the location’s beauty. The place could return as a haunt for Wonder to hang out with his confidants during the campaign.
2Jinbocho
Jinbocho is somewherePersona 5players who went for a 100% completion rate should know well, as some of the books can only be found in this location. Moreover, Jinbocho’s Nagiuri Bookstore also serves as a location for in-game events, such as most of Hifumi Togo’s Confidant events.
As one of the least-explored locations back inPersona 5, Jinbocho has untapped potential. Wonder could have a chance to explore the area further to see more interesting stores and sights in-game, should it make a reappearance forPersona 5: The Phantom X.
1Tokyo Destinyland
Tokyo Destinyland serves as one of the unlockable hang-out spots inPersona 5. Players can invite their confidants to the spot to advance their rank further.
The location can potentially make its reappearance as either a simple hang-out site or a specific location that Wonder can explore further inPersona 5: The Phantom X. Due to its grandiose design, the location could even potentially be a Palace.
Persona 5: The Phantom Xis currently in development for mobile devices and PC.
