It's finally here: The long-rumored Fortnite x Persona 5 crossover is officially confirmed and launches today, September 25, 2026, in the Item Shop. Joker and Ann Takamaki, also known as Panther, join the island as Phantom Thieves, with Morgana as a sidekick, Sprite, and even a vehicle. All updates can be found as usual in the official Fortnite Newsroom. Here's what's in the bundle and when you can grab it.
When does the Fortnite x Persona 5 crossover launch?
The shop reset with the new skins will take place on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 5 PM PT or 8 PM ET. For players in Germany, this means that due to the time difference, the bundle will actually appear in the early hours of Saturday, approximately around 2 AM CEST on September 26. So, anyone checking the Fortnite Item Shop on Friday evening in Germany will have to wait a few more hours.
What's included in the Persona 5 bundle?
Joker comes with a complete set: outfit, back bling, pickaxe, emote, wrap, kicks, guitar, and even his own emoji are included. Ann Takamaki, also known as Panther, gets two looks: her school uniform and the Phantom Thief outfit, plus a back bling, pickaxe, emote, microphone, and wrap. On top of that, Morgana is available as a sidekick, a Sprite companion, and even as a dedicated vehicle skin. Epic Games has not yet announced official prices for the launch, but bundles like this typically cost several thousand V-Bucks for the complete package. It's best to check the shop directly once it goes live in your timezone.
Fortnite has already seen several major anime and game crossovers, from Dragon Ball to Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen. Persona 5 Royal joins a long list of pop culture guests that Epic Games regularly brings to the island to attract new fans and keep existing players engaged. For Persona fans, this appearance should still be a particular highlight, as the series is among the most popular JRPGs of recent years.
This bundle appears to be a must-buy, especially for Persona connoisseurs, as the list of cosmetics is unusually extensive for a single crossover. Even those who only occasionally play should still take a look; the Morgana extras alone are likely to offer some surprises. Keep an eye on the shop once it goes live in your region.
