Persona 5 will join the growing roster of Overwatch 2 collaborations tomorrow, and fans of both the FPS and RPG are thrilled with the costumes coming to the game.
Joining the likes of Transformers, Gundam Wing, One Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, Avatar: The Last Airbender, My Hero Academia, and K-pop super group LE SSERAFIM, the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5 will be joining your in-game lobbies imminently.
The full list of skins is as follows:
- Wuyang as Joker
- Mercy as Panther
- Lifeweaver as Fox
- D.Va as Queen
- Genji as Skull
“We included lots of fun artistic touches in this collaboration,” said art director Dion Rogers. “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!”
It’s not just the skins, though. A limited-time event as part of the collab will also include that trademark Atlus and Persona touch, as well, celebrating the partnership between Blizzard and Atlus.
“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 said. “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.”
The skins will be available to purchase in the store starting on the weekly reset tomorrow, Sept. 16, and will be available for a limited time. OW2 players can log in to complete challenges to unlock other exclusive cosmetics as well.
