"Blizzard showed off Wuyang, Genji, Lifeweaver, Mercy, and D.Va sporting costumes based on the Phantom Thieves. These will all be available tomorrow, September 16, and they look, well, pretty much exactly like the characters they're referencing. There are some interesting details, though, such as the rose petals falling from Mercy's wings, which are evocative of Ann's Persona Carmen; Lifeweaver's flower-petal back piece, meanwhile, has some of Yusuke's iconography attached to it, and D.Va's mech has been made to look like Makoto's motorcycle Persona, Johanna."
"I've grown increasingly tired of how Blizzard has turned into with all these licensed crossovers replacing its own iconography and worldbuilding, but I'm also a superfan, and I get to be a mark sometimes. Today, Blizzard announced the five heroes who will be suiting up as the vigilante high schoolers, and while I'm excited that one of my mains is getting a collab skin, I'm also glad to see that Kiriko, , is nowhere to be seen this time around."
"These skins will likely come with other cosmetics, but Blizzard hasn't revealed those yet. When the collaboration was first teased, we saw what appeared to be a highlight intro based on 's All-Out Attack animations, so we'll see if all five characters get that, or just Wuyang. is my favorite character, so I wish I played Genji, but I do play Lifeweaver, so I will be donning the Fox mask for a few matches later this week."
Overwatch 2 will feature Persona 5 crossover skins for five heroes: Wuyang, Genji, Lifeweaver, Mercy, and D.Va, available September 16. The costumes closely mirror the Phantom Thieves' designs, including Mercy's rose-petal wing effects evoking Ann's Persona Carmen and Lifeweaver's flower-petal back piece incorporating Yusuke iconography. D.Va's mech is styled after Makoto's motorcycle Persona, Johanna. Kiriko does not appear among the selected heroes. Additional cosmetics have not been revealed. A teased highlight intro appeared similar to an All-Out Attack animation, leaving open whether all five heroes will receive such intros.
