Next year, Persona 5 will be 10 years old, and clearly Atlus isn’t ready to move on just yet, as we’ve heard nothing about Persona 6. Recently, Persona5: The Phantom X got a global release, and now it appears Joker and crew are heading to Overwatch 2. Well, at least costumes inspired by the characters will be, judging by the previous Street Fighter 6 collaboration. At this point, though, Joker is going to rival NieR: Automata’s 2B when it comes to crossover appearances, and that’s no small feat.
Overwatch 2’s Season 18: Stadium Quick Play launches on August 26, and today’s trailer ended with a Persona 5-related teaser. The new season brings Stadium Quick Play with shorter match times, a quicker item economy, backfill support, and cross-play. There’s also a new game mode called Payload Race, three new maps, and a new Draft Mode that gives players a pre-match advantage by enabling smart counter-picks and better team coordination. Most exciting for veterans is the addition of Wuyang as the latest Support Hero.
