And the reaper comes knocking again.
Legends tell of a videogame. A cursed videogame. One which, once it crosses paths with another, puts a year-long ticking timebomb on its victim. And the worst part? They never saw it coming.
Sorry, it’s Persona 5, I get at least one Last Surprise joke. There’ve been a pretty wild number of collaborations announced across Gamescom week—and they all just happen to be for games I’m interested in, which is perhaps why I’m noticing it more than usual—from Infinity Nikki and Stardew Valley to Nikke: Goddess of Victory and Resident Evil.
This time it’s Overwatch 2’s turn to Fortnite itself a little bit, and it’s enlisting the Phantom Thieves to do so. Yup, the ultra-milked Atlus RPG is getting together with Blizzard’s shooter in what is somehow the weirdest crossover announcement of the week so far.
So why am I yapping about the kiss of death and curses? Well, Persona 5 has garnered quite a reputation (particularly in the gacha game scene) for being a bit of a death knell whenever it announces a collaboration.
