Fortnite Leak Claims Persona 5 Is Finally Coming Next Season
July 24, 2026·4 min read
After years of rumors that went nowhere, Persona 5 may finally be close to joining Fortnite. A new leak claims the crossover is planned for Chapter 7 Season 4, giving Joker and the Phantom Thieves a better release window than any earlier report. Epic Games and Atlus have not announced the collaboration, so the long wait is not over yet.
The latest claim comes from Fortnite leaker SamLeakss and has also been shared by other known accounts covering the game. The information points directly to Persona 5 rather than the wider Persona series, but it does not reveal which characters, cosmetics, or modes are included. For now, the strongest detail is the next-season timing.
Earlier Persona crossover rumors often left the chosen game unclear, with Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal both discussed as possible options. The latest information is more direct and says Persona 5 will be the focus. That makes Joker the most likely lead skin, although no character has been confirmed by Epic or Atlus.
A full cosmetic set could easily draw from the Phantom Thieves' masks, weapons, music, and red-and-black style. Morgana would also fit naturally as a back bling or companion item. Those ideas make sense for Fortnite, but they remain guesses until files, artwork, or an official trailer show what Epic has actually prepared.
The crossover is also being linked to Rocket League, suggesting Epic may be planning a wider Sega and Atlus promotion across more than one game. No details have surfaced about cars, decals, music, or shared rewards. The connection gives the leak more shape, but it does not confirm how large the event will be.
The wider Chapter 7 Season 4 leak describes a season built heavily around video game crossovers. Sonic, Mega Man, Kingdom Hearts, and Crash Bandicoot have all been named alongside Persona 5. If that lineup is accurate, Joker would arrive as part of a much larger gaming theme rather than a small Item Shop release.
That setting could give Persona 5 more room inside the Battle Pass, quests, or seasonal map changes, but none of those placements have been confirmed. A Battle Pass skin could keep one character tied to the season, while more Phantom Thieves could appear later in the shop. Epic has used similar splits before, though it is still only a possible plan here.
The timing also fits Atlus' wider plans for 2026, which marks the Persona series' 30th anniversary. Atlus is already running anniversary events and promoting the series in several regions. A Fortnite crossover would put its best-known modern cast in front of a huge audience, but the anniversary alone is not proof that the leak is correct.
Talk of Persona joining Fortnite dates back to early 2024, when claims suggested Epic and Sega had discussed a collaboration during 2022 and 2023. That version was linked to Chapter 5 Season 2 and never appeared. Later rumors said the project still existed but had been placed on hold, leaving players with nothing official to follow.
That history explains why the new claim has been met with excitement and caution at the same time. Several known Fortnite leakers are now pointing to the same game and season, which is stronger than one loose rumor. Crossover plans can still move, change, or disappear before release, especially when several companies are involved.
Real confirmation will come from an Epic teaser, Atlus artwork, encrypted cosmetics found in a game update, or Joker appearing in the next season's promotional material. Until one of those signs arrives, Persona 5 remains a promising leak rather than a finished announcement. After two years of false starts, players have good reason to wait for something they can actually see.
