Horror multiplayer game Identity V is now hosting a new Persona 5 Royal event. As a result, you can now unlock costumes inspired by the Phantom Thieves and more.

The Identity V Persona 5 Royal event began on August 2 and runs until August 31. You'll be able to complete tasks to unlock the cat-inspired Morgana as a pet. You can also unlock the following crossover costumes, including:

• [S Costume] First Officer- Goro Akechi
• [A Costume] Coordinator - Makoto Niijima
• [A Costume] Mechanic - Ann Takamaki
• [A Costume] Gardener- Haru Okumura, Emote, Portrait, and Graffiti.

You can also get the 'Regular' and 'Souls of Resistance' costumes from past Identity V crossovers with Persona 5 Royal. "For those who missed the last Persona Crossover Event and were unable to obtain the sought-after costumes, this is the perfect opportunity to join the new activities and complete your collection," said the press release. Past characters include Joker, Ryuji, Yusuke, and Futaba.

Identity V seems very much inspired by the popular Dead by Daylight. It's a 1v4 survival game, in which one player plays the monster while four others play the survivors. It's free to play on PC, Android, and iOS. For now, it's not available on consoles like the PS5 or Switch yet.

As for the Persona series, Atlus has a mobile spinoff on the way in Persona 5: The Phantom X. It has already been released in some territories on April 18 but will be getting a global launch for both mobile and PC with consoles down the line, according to Persona Central. It seems to have its own storyline and characters with high-quality cutscenes you'd expect from a mainline title. However, it will be gacha-based like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero.

At Smile Fest 2024, Good Smile Company showed off the latest version of the upcoming Persona 5 Royal Haru “Noir” Okumura Pop Up Parade figure. This time it showed up as a painted prototype, suggesting pre-orders could end up opening in the next few weeks or months.

Haru is wearing her full Noir Phantom Thief attire for this figure. She’s also tipping her hat and pointing with her right hand. She doesn’t have any weapon “equipped.” Also, as this is a Pop Up Parade standard figure, there are no additional parts or options.  

Here’s a closer look at the Pop Up Parade figure of the character that is based on her Persona 5 Royal appearance.

All Persona 5 figures in the Pop Up Parade line are standardized. So they all tend to be about the same high and cost the same amount. So like the Oracle or Crow ones, she should be around over six inches tall and will cost￥4,800/$38.99.

There’s no release window for the Persona 5 Royal Haru “Noir” Okumura Pop Up Parade figure just yet. Persona 5 is on the PS3 and PS4, while Royal is on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Though the game came out in 2019 for Japan, it remains very popular today. Kotobukiya recently announced a re-run of a scale figure of Kasumi Yoshizawa in her Phantom Thief outfit, with this figure’s initial release being in 2020. Meanwhile, NetEase is currently re-running its Persona 5 crossover event in Identity V.

Persona 5 Royal is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch.
