A mobile Persona 5 spin-off with gacha Guess my sleep schedule wasn’t suffering enough already. That May 2025 stream can’t come soon enough—I need to know when to clear my calendar for another Phantom Thieves heist. Love that Atlus is keeping the hype alive with cryptic owl tweets, though at this point, I half-expect the next teaser to just be Morgana yelling Looking cool, Joker into the void.

Ah, another Persona spin-off to tide us over while we wait for P6—guess my wallet’s about to get Phantom-thieved again. That owl emoji tease is peak Atlus, keeping us on our toes like we’re in a social link conversation. Gacha mechanics in a Persona game Bold move—hope the rates are kinder than my midterm exams back in high school. At least the style’s still slick enough to make me forget I’m rolling for Joker again.
