If you’ve ever wanted to yeet your enemies while cosplaying as Ann Takamaki or Ren Amamiya, well—your oddly specific wish just came true.
NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment just announced a new crossover between Naraka: Bladepoint and Persona 5 Royal, and it drops today, June 18. This free-to-play melee battle royale game is getting a Persona-flavored makeover, bringing the stylish chaos of the Phantom Thieves into its already flashy world.
From Tokyo to Morus Isle
This collab introduces iconic P5R characters through in-game cosmetics:
- Zai channels the fierce and flirty Ann Takamaki
- Kurumi flips into action with Kasumi Yoshizawa’s athletic aesthetic
- Feria Shen blooms into the soft elegance of Haru Okumura
- Wuchen steps into the iconic black coat of Ren Amamiya
These are more than just slap-on skins. They’re an art style fusion, blending Persona’s anime charm with Naraka’s sleek 3D world. It’s the kind of fan service that actually serves.
Even the lobby gets a glow-up
Not to be outdone by the outfits, the in-game lobby is getting a comic-style makeover. Think of it as stepping into a Phantom Thief hideout with less turn-based combat and more vertical swordfights.
So what’s the story here?
Apparently, the Phantom Thieves now have their eyes on the Immortal Mask from Naraka. I don’t know how that fits into their whole “stealing hearts” MO, but I’m here for it.
Ready to join the heist?
The collab goes live at 12:00 AM Pacific Time / 3:00 PM Philippine Time today, June 18, and is available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. And yes, Naraka: Bladepoint is free to play—so no excuses.
