The highly popular mobile RPG Persona 5: The Phantom X has announced an elegant new cosmetic option for its iconic protagonist, Joker. This stylish Butler outfit will be introduced in the game's Version 1.2 update, scheduled for release in July 2025.

Since its global launch in June, Persona 5: The Phantom X has rapidly gained traction, surpassing 1.5 million downloads and topping charts on both Steam and mobile app stores. The game's developers recently hosted a special livestream showcasing upcoming content, including this premium skin for the fan-favorite character Ren Amamiya (better known as Joker).

The new Butler skin transforms Joker's appearance significantly, replacing his signature mask with a refined monocle and exchanging his black vest for a distinguished black-and-white striped design. The outfit also features white gloves instead of his usual red ones, completing the sophisticated look.

While the exact acquisition method for global players remains unconfirmed, the Chinese version previously offered this skin through a special gacha system at premium rates. Players are eagerly awaiting details about whether the global release will follow this model or provide alternative purchase options.

In addition to Joker's new appearance, Persona 5: The Phantom X is accelerating its content release schedule for Western audiences. This strategic move aims to help global players catch up with the Chinese version's extensive content library, promising more frequent updates featuring new story chapters, Phantom Idols, and special events.
