Sega and Atlus have released version 4.13 of Persona 5: The Phantom X on November 12, 2026, bringing the final phase of Main Story Chapter 4 alongside two new five-star Phantom Thief variants, Gunslinger Shun and Tenebre Shoki. The update also introduces new Palace and Mementos areas, limited-time character acquisition campaigns and a reward that lets players select a five-star Phantom Thief after completing Chapter 4.
The update is available on the Japanese and global servers following scheduled maintenance. Players on the Southeast Asian server are expected to receive the content eight days later, on November 20. Persona 5: The Phantom X remains a free-to-play RPG available on PC, Android and iOS.
The latest story expansion concludes Chapter 4, titled The Masks We Wear, with its Final Phase. The narrative continues the Phantom Thieves’ confrontation with Shimotsuna as a mysterious Calling Card, apparently not sent by the group, draws them toward another Palace. The chapter’s conclusion includes a major boss encounter and additional areas to explore within both Palaces and Mementos.
Alongside the story finale, version 4.13 introduces two limited five-star character variants: Gunslinger Shun “Soy” Kano and Tenebre Shoki “Luce” Ikenami. Both characters appear in featured Phantom Idol Contract banners running until December 10, 2026, at 1:59 AM UTC.
The update also launches a limited five-star Double Contract campaign called Unbridled Radiance, connecting the two featured characters. The promotion offers an additional selection opportunity associated with obtaining featured characters or weapons, potentially allowing players to acquire the other featured option or strengthen their existing selection. The official update notice directs players to a separate announcement for the campaign’s detailed conditions.
One of the update’s main progression rewards is the Chapter 4 Clear Campaign. Players who complete the fourth chapter during the eligibility period receive a Clear 5★ Thief Select Ticket, allowing them to choose one character from a designated selection of five-star Phantom Thieves.
Unlike the limited character banners, the Chapter 4 completion campaign runs for 90 days from a player’s first login following the November 12 maintenance. Additional missions covering the latter half of the third Palace onward offer Repression Medal IV, Joy Medals, Everlasting Incense and Kagura Bells. Players who have already completed the relevant portions of the story can also claim their corresponding mission rewards.
Version 4.13 also introduces Shadow Hunt, an event featuring powerful enemies from the newly added Palace areas. The event runs until December 10, while a new Shoki Ikenami side story is available during the same period. The developers recommend completing the Chapter 4 finale before starting the side story to avoid affecting the intended narrative experience.
Beyond the story content, the update introduces Engraving, a new weapon enhancement feature that unlocks additional skills using specialized materials. Wonder’s five-star weapon Glimmer supports Engraving starting with this version, with the necessary materials available through the Joy Medal Exchange Shop.
Persona progression has also been expanded. Jánošík can now be upgraded to Rank IX, while Macabre joins the game as another Rank IX Persona. Macabre is available through the Repression Medal IV Exchange Shop.
Players can also obtain new skip tickets for previously completed Realm of Repression battles. These items allow eligible farming encounters to be skipped, including certain training material, Persona and weekly Recollections activities.
To mark the feature’s introduction, the developers are distributing 200 Repression Skip Tickets through in-game mail. The tickets cover battles consuming a combined 2,000 Stamina, and the gift must be claimed before November 26, 2026, at 1:59 AM UTC.
Additional changes include permanent stat-boosting cooking recipes for Wonder, new Revelation Card inscription options and limited-time crane game prizes featuring Titania and Mini Mandrake. The new plushies remain available until January 7, 2027.
A separate login campaign awards seven Platinum Tickets for logging in on seven days before November 26. Meanwhile, the Chapter 4 release event, featured character banners, Double Contract promotion and Shadow Hunt all conclude on December 10.
The update gives returning players additional story content and a limited opportunity to obtain five-star characters, while the 90-day Chapter 4 completion campaign provides a longer window for players who have not yet reached the finale.
