Identity V: Everything About the Persona Crossover Event

Identity V, NetEase's popular asymmetrical horror game, has consistently captivated players with its unique crossover events. Among these, the collaboration with Persona 5 Royal(P5R) stands out as one of the most celebrated, blending the distinct aesthetics and characters of Persona 5 with the eerie world of Identity V. This article delves into the intricacies of the Persona event, detailing everything from the history of the crossover to the latest updates and how players can maximize their experience.

History of the Persona Crossover in Identity V

The event, which first took place in 2019, featured survivor skins inspired by the characters Joker, Ann, Ryuji, and Yusuke. Subsequently, a second installment of the event brought additional skins based on Akechi, Haru, Futaba, and Makoto. Now, both sets of skins are being offered simultaneously. The latest promotional video continues the trend of previous ones, but this time it spotlights all eight Persona 5 Royal characters in their Identity V adaptations.

Players can obtain these skins through the Essence gacha system, and there are also several portraits and the pet Morgana available through in-game events. With every six pulls on these Essences, players will be rewarded with a Soul of Resistance item, which will be sent via mail. These items can be accumulated and utilized to upgrade the skins and unlock the characters' Phantom Thief outfits.

In early July 2024, NetEase revealed that the Persona 5 Royal crossover event would make a comeback in Identity V, offering players another opportunity to acquire the skins. In a related development, Atlus also recently unveiled a selection of Persona 5-themed condiments and beverages in partnership with Jade City Foods.

NetEase is currently unveiling a new promotional image for the ongoing Persona 5 Royal crossover event in Identity V. The first Essence is currently running as of August 2, 2024.

The image features the Identity V renditions of Joker, Mona, Skull, Panther, and Fox from Persona 5 Royal. These characters were featured in the first Essence event, with Mona being a pet companion rather than a Survivor skin. Similar to the previous Death Note and The Promised Neverland collaboration events, these are skins that can be applied to existing Survivors, not as separate characters.

The skins available in the current Essence include:

●Yusuke Kitagawa as Fox: The Undertaker
●Ren Amamiya as Joker: The Acrobat
●Ann Takamaki as Panther: The Female Dancer
●Ryuji Sakamoto as Skull: The Forward

Each character is available in two distinct skin versions. One version depicts the character in their school attire, while the other showcases them in their Phantom Thief costume. To transform the skin into the Phantom Thief version, you will require Souls of Resistance, which can be obtained through the gacha system.

The latter part of the crossover event, which took place in 2019 shortly after the initial segment, will introduce skins for Oracle (The Mechanic), Queen (The Coordinator), Noir (The Gardener), and Crow (The First Officer). As this is a Persona 5 Royal-themed crossover, it remains to be seen if Crow's Black Mask attire or Yoshizawa's appearance will be added to the gacha pool at a later time.

Persona 5 Crossover Essence 1: Comeback

Players can acquire exclusive items from the collaboration, including the Sublime Attire of the Acrobat - Ren Amamiya, the Eccentric Attire of the Forward - Ryuji Sakamoto, the Eccentric Attire of the Dancer - Ann Takamaki, and the Eccentric Attire of the Undertaker - Yusuke Kitagawa, as well as individual actions, avatars, and graffiti. Utilizing the awakening item Rebellion Soul, players can obtain new Sublime Attire for the Acrobat - JOKER, Eccentric Attire for the Forward - SKULL, Eccentric Attire for the Dancer - PANTHER, and Eccentric Attire for the Undertaker - FOX.

Persona 5 Crossover Essence 2: Return

Players can obtain a variety of exclusive items related to the collaboration, including the Sublime Fashion of the First Officer - Ken Amada, the Eccentric Fashion of the Air Force - Makoto Niijima, the Eccentric Fashion of the Mechanic - Futaba Sakura, and the Eccentric Fashion of the Gardener - Haru Okumura, as well as personalized actions, avatars, and graffiti. By utilizing the awakening item Spirit of Rebellion, players can unlock new fashions such as the Sublime Fashion of the First Officer - CROW, the Eccentric Fashion of the Air Force - QUEEN, the Eccentric Fashion of the Mechanic - NAVI, and the Eccentric Fashion of the Gardener - NOIR.

For this return of the collaboration essence, the probabilities and the guaranteed number of pulls will be shared with the previous Persona 5 Crossover Essence 1 and Persona 5 Crossover Essence 2. After every six pulls of the related collaboration essence, the system will automatically send one Spirit of Rebellion awakening item to the player via email. The number of pulls for Persona 5 Crossover Essence 1 and Persona Crossover Essence 2 will be calculated separately.
