The new set of collab skins, featuring OW2 heroes dressed up as five of the characters from the JRPG, all have their own unique animations to remain faithful to the source material, according to art director Dion Rogers.

“We included lots of fun artistic touches in this collaboration,” Rogers said. “For instance, there are elements of Mercy’s Panther skin that are inspired by Carmen – like rose petals falling from her wings – while the Xuanwu Staff that Wuyang uses as Joker is meant to visually evoke Arsène. The Heroes even leave paint splashes when they move!”

Here’s a peek at all of the Persona 5 Phantom Thieves skins coming to OW2 on Sept. 16.

On top of the skins, OW2 will have a Phantom Thieves event that is inspired by the art from Persona 5.

“The collaboration event hub itself uses those signature menu visuals that we all know and love, plus some phenomenal key art that guest artist Shigenori Soejima was kind enough to create for us,” Rogers explained. “There’s also a different Phantom Thieves-inspired UI overlay when you hover over the Shop icons for the skins, which is the first time we’ve done anything like that for a collaboration.”
