Legends speak of a game cursed in its collaborations, where each partnership triggers a countdown for its existence. This time, Overwatch 2 is preparing for a collaboration with Persona 5, a series known for its notorious past partnerships that tend to shorten game lifespans.

Notable collaborations during Gamescom week have drawn interest, including titles from Infinity Nikki and Stardew Valley, to Nikke: Goddess of Victory and Resident Evil. Joining the lineup, Overwatch 2 is expected to feature elements reminiscent of Persona 5, though specifics are scarce.

What’s Next?

Rumors suggest the introduction of new skins, potentially including the character Joker from Persona 5, with Cassidy likely appearing in a trench coat, mirroring the game’s vibes.

The upcoming collaboration has cultivated skepticism due to Persona 5’s history; previous games have frequently experienced declines shortly after their partnerships. For instance, collaborations resulted in other titles shutting down within about a year.

While it’s unlikely that Overwatch 2 will face immediate closure, there’s a lingering tension surrounding its future, especially with expectations that major characters from Persona 5 will feature prominently in this crossover.
