‘Persona 5’ Is Coming to ‘Fortnite’
Atlus has confirmed that Persona 5 will feature in Fortnite’s forthcoming Chapter 7 Season 4, titled Override. The crossover matters because the season will be themed around gaming icons, adding Persona 5’s Joker to a line-up that already includes Sonic the Hedgehog, although Epic Games has yet to reveal exactly what in-game content will be included.

The collaboration coincides with the 10th anniversary of Persona 5, which has expanded through an enhanced edition, anime adaptation and spin-offs; the article also notes a fan-made “Persona 5 curse” theory linking some past live-service collaborations with later game closures, while stressing that several collaborators have continued operating.
