What is the Identity V and Paper Bride crossover?

 

Paper Bride is a Chinese horror mystery puzzle game. As the name suggests, it features traditional Chinese folklore elements, which ensure the game stands out from others in the genre. Players are tasked with learning about the dark and magical traditions in their bride’s home village, with the story spanning all the way to the past.

 

 

Both Identity V and Paper Bride have mystery elements where the players must decipher codes or solve puzzles. Pair that with the horror vibe both games share, and this collaboration makes more sense the more you think about it. Those who have played Paper Bride or are knowledgeable about its characters will be excited to learn that a handful of characters will appear as costumes in Identity V. Of course, LootBar can help players increase their chances of acquiring every costume.

 

This particular crossover was announced back in May, during the Call of the Abyss 8 Global Finals stream. Ironically, some existing Identity V characters have much in common with Paper Bride’s characters, which makes this crossover even more perfect.

 

All Identity V x Paper Bride costumes and accessories

 

1.costumes

 

The highlights of the Identity V and Paper Bride crossover are the costumes that players can get their hands on. All of them are based on Paper Bride, but the characters of both games also share similarities thanks to their similar backstories.

 

The first character players can expect is Nie Moli, an S-tier costume for Perfumer. Both characters have a twin sister whom they wanted to replace for one reason or the other, and they both were neglected by their parents for their sibling. Players can also get the crossover package with the help of LootBar to get this costume as well as the Paper Shrine accessory.

 

 

Next, there’s Tao Mengyan, who appears in Identity V as a limited A-tier costume for the Antiquarian. The similarities between these two characters are a bit of a stretch, but both characters have a girlfriend from their past lives whom they eventually reconnected with in their current lives.

 

 

Finally, Xiao Chi will come to Identity V as another limited A-tier costume for the Novelist. Both of these characters have themes of dissociative identity disorder and are partly seen as responsible for their childhood friend's parents' deaths. This, and the fact that both characters have conducted research in secret in their adulthood, links both characters together.

Fortunately, the Behind the Curtain event that requires players to complete 6-day challenges grants players the choice to choose the Tao Mengyan or Xiao Chi costume.

 

2.accessories

 

Players will also likely be able to get their hands on a couple of accessories when the crossover comes out, though they haven’t been revealed yet. The only accessory that players currently know about is the Paper Shrine accessory that players can use for the Perfumer. This event is more centered around costumes and furniture, with the Bridal Palanquin, Paper Suona Player, Paper Matchmaker, and Red Scarecrow all being limited-time obtainable furniture.

 

 

Naturally, every Paper Bride character will also get their own portrait to get their hands on. Players can do this through the Crafting Puppets event, where players must create and share custom puppets. Graffiti for all three characters is also claimable through the Puppet Guide event.

 

When does the Identity V and Paper Bride event start?

 

The Identity V and Paper Bride event is slated to start on July 3, while the The Promised Neverland crossover is ongoing. It’ll end on July 30, after which every limited-time event and minigame will go away.

 

Conclusion

 

All in all, the Identity V and Paper Bride collaboration is slated to be huge, with players worldwide anticipating the game to return to its horror roots. While those who have played Paper Bride are naturally more excited for it, that doesn’t mean others won’t buy an Identity V top up or two to get their hands on the creepy costumes that are available for a limited time. Of course, more players are likely waiting for the Frieren crossover.
