Get ready, gamers! Classic Atlus RPG Persona 5 is set to make its mark on Overwatch 2 with a new exciting collaboration. Players can expect to see the entire Phantom Thieves squad come alive within the game!
This highly anticipated collaboration introduces a collection of skins for OW2 heroes, uniquely designed to mirror five characters from the beloved JRPG. The art direction led by Doon Rogers ensures that every detail stays true to the original source material, from animations to visual motifs.
Rogers shares, “We included lots of fun artistic touches in this collaboration. For example, Mercy’s Panther skin features elements inspired by Carmen, including rose petals that fall from her wings. Similarly, the Xuanwu Staff carried by Wuyang as Joker brings to mind the essence of Arsène. Plus, the heroes leave paint splashes trailing behind them as they move!”
Mark your calendars: all the Persona 5 Phantom Thieves skins are set to launch in OW2 on September 16.
