Fortnite’s upcoming Persona 5 collaboration reportedly includes at least one female Outfit, adding another character to a crossover that has so far officially shown only Joker. Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR says evidence tied to the collaboration confirms a female skin is included, while suggesting Ann Takamaki is the most likely identity. Epic Games and Atlus have not officially revealed the character, so Ann’s appearance as an Outfit should still be treated as a leak rather than confirmation.
The new information builds on separate data uncovered earlier on September 16 by SamLeakss and stevpeifer. Files connected to the crossover reportedly contain three decals for the upcoming Morgana Bus vehicle: a standard design, one based on Joker and another labeled “Panther.” Panther is Ann Takamaki’s Phantom Thief codename in Persona 5, providing direct evidence that Ann is represented somewhere within the Fortnite collaboration.
That discovery already made Ann a strong candidate for the crossover’s additional cosmetics. The Panther decal found for the Morgana Bus established that the character was involved, although a vehicle cosmetic alone did not prove she would receive a playable Outfit. HYPEX similarly described an Ann skin as “very likely” while noting that the decal itself was the firmer piece of evidence.
ShiinaBR’s newer claim is important because it adds a separate piece to that picture: the Persona set reportedly contains an unidentified female skin. Taken together, the female Outfit and Panther-themed vehicle asset make Ann the leading identification, but there is still a distinction between evidence pointing toward her and an actual leaked model or cosmetic name explicitly confirming the Outfit as Ann Takamaki.
Persona 5 has already been officially established as part of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override. Atlus revealed Joker in an official collaboration teaser in August, showing the Phantom Thieves leader inside Fortnite ahead of the gaming-focused season. Epic has yet to publicly unveil the full Persona cosmetic lineup, leaving dataminers to piece together the remaining characters and items from encrypted and newly added files.
The crossover also appears to extend well beyond character skins. Fortnite’s v42.20 files contain a Persona 5-themed Match Override, indicating that the collaboration will affect gameplay rather than being limited to Item Shop cosmetics. Other discoveries have included Persona-related companion content, with Persona 5 Sprites appearing in the latest Fortnite files alongside other gaming collaborations.
The Morgana Bus is another substantial component of the crossover. Leaks describe it as a vehicle based on Morgana’s transformation into the Phantom Thieves’ distinctive cat-shaped bus from Persona 5. The newly discovered Classic, Joker and Panther decals suggest players may be able to customize the vehicle with designs representing individual characters, potentially explaining why Ann’s codename appears in the files even before her rumored Outfit has been exposed directly.
Ann Takamaki is one of the earliest members of the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5 and fights under the codename Panther. Her recognizable red catsuit and mask would give Epic a straightforward design to adapt into Fortnite, but no leaked in-game model has surfaced publicly alongside the latest claims. There is also no confirmed information yet on whether she would include a second style based on her normal school appearance.
Previous leaks have suggested the Persona 5 collaboration could contain multiple skins beyond Joker, though the identities of the full lineup remain unresolved. Characters including Ryuji Sakamoto, Makoto Niijima, Goro Akechi and Kasumi Yoshizawa have been discussed by players and leakers at various points, but current evidence is considerably stronger for Ann because of the Panther decal.
Epic Games has not announced when the complete Persona 5 set will reach the Item Shop or formally detailed the additional characters. For now, the strongest conclusion from the latest discoveries is that Fortnite’s Persona collaboration contains a female Outfit and that Ann Takamaki is the leading candidate based on the separate Panther asset. Until Epic reveals the skin or dataminers uncover its actual model and cosmetic entry, Ann’s identity remains highly plausible but unconfirmed.
