In an exciting crossover that fans have been eagerly anticipating, the popular smartphone game Identity V: Fifth Personality, developed by NetEase's Joker Studio, is collaborating with the acclaimed RPG Persona 5: The Royal to launch a new line of merchandise. Featuring in-game illustrations, these exclusive collaboration goods showcase the beloved characters from Identity V dressed in distinctive Persona 5 themed costumes.
The new merchandise, set for release in June 2025 by Chugai Mining, is not only a testament to the merging of two unique worlds but also brings forth a collection that promises to delight both new and existing fans. Items will include a range of exciting products such as acrylic stands, trading cards, glitter can badges, and polaroid collections. Each item captures the essence of both games, combining the stylish aesthetic of Persona 5 with the grim yet intriguing atmosphere of Identity V.
Reservations for these sought-after items are currently being accepted on the Anime Store.JP until April 19, 2025. The release party is slated for June 2025, followed by expected deliveries in early July. The price points make these collectibles appealing: the acrylic stands will cost 1,650 yen each, while the trading glitter can badges will go for 10,450 yen per box of 19. Further, the trading cards are priced at 7,590 yen per box of 23, and the polaroid collection will be available for 6,270 yen per box of 19.
Each character will be distinctly represented through bespoke costumes that resonate with the Persona 5 universe. For instance, the performance artists will don outfits inspired by the enigmatic Joker, while other personalities embodying different roles — such as the offense character sporting the style of Skull, and the dancer mimicking Panther's flair — will certainly engage collectors. The amalgamation of characters and themes not only underscores the creativity of both franchises but also provides a refreshing take on familiar designs.
Players of Identity V can look forward to enjoying the new visual aesthetics with characters such as the Gardener, who appears as Noir, and the Mechanic as Navi. The renowned Thief crew's costumes are captured in unique illustrations that also depict other fan-favorites like the Queen and Fox, drawing attention to their narratives and abilities within the games.
The fusion of styles from Persona 5 and Identity V serves as an opportunity for fans to experience their favorites in a new light, bringing together two beloved fictional universes.
