Fortnite Is Officially Collaborating With Persona 5 Later This Week
Fortnite is officially collaborating with Persona 5, bringing characters from the acclaimed JRPG franchise to the battle royale shooter. The collaboration, part of Fortnite’s current Gaming Legends-themed season, launches Friday, September 25th.
The crossover introduces multiple Persona 5 characters as cosmetic skins, with the initial roster including Joker, Ann Takamaki, and Morgana. These cosmetics will be available through Fortnite’s item shop when the collaboration launches. According to official teasers displaying character silhouettes, the cosmetics are confirmed for the announced release date.
While the Persona 5 crossover has been anticipated for some time, the official release date confirmation came with the latest announcement. Game file leakers previously uncovered additional details before the official reveal, discovering that Morgana will be sold separately as a sidekick cosmetic rather than as a standard character skin.
The Gaming Legends season has attracted multiple collaborations with popular gaming franchises, positioning Fortnite as a major destination for cross-franchise cosmetic partnerships. This Persona 5 partnership represents the latest in Epic Games’ series of character-driven collaborations designed to maintain player engagement and drive cosmetic sales.
The announcement gives players advance notice to prepare before the items become available on September 25th, allowing both Persona 5 fans and Fortnite players to anticipate the crossover.
