What is the Call of Duty Mobile x Persona 5 Royal Crossover Event?
The Call of Duty Mobile x Persona 5 Royal Crossover Event is a limited-time 2026 collaboration between Activision’s mobile shooter and Atlus’s RPG. You get to experience the core mechanics of this event by collecting Calling Cards, unlocking unique operator skins, and playing the specially themed mode. Playing the new CODM crossover event and downloading its updates on the go requires internet access, making consumption and cost of mobile data highly relevant to mobile gamers.
Featured Phantom Thieves Operator Skins
The featured Phantom Thieves operator skins are designed to adapt the anime-style characters into the tactical CODM engine. Players looking to buy COD Points for the new premium Persona 5 operator skins will find value in learning about ways to save money on their gaming hobby, such as finding student discounts on gaming.
Joker (Ren Amamiya)
You can unlock the Joker mythic skin by participating in the exclusive Phantom Trickster Lucky Draw. As a mythic operator, Joker comes with a unique execution animation where he summons Arsène for a finishing strike. You will also get custom lobby poses that recreate his iconic all-out attack screens from the original RPG.
Queen (Makoto Niijima)
The Queen epic skin brings Makoto’s biker-inspired tactical gear directly into the battlefield. You do not have to rely on a lucky draw to get her; instead, she is tied directly to the premium event battle pass. Reaching tier 50 guarantees you this highly detailed cosmetic.
Skull (Ryuji Sakamoto) and Panther (Ann Takamaki)
💀 Skull (Ryuji Sakamoto)
You can acquire Skull through the event store by trading in calling cards and metaverse tokens earned during multiplayer matches.
🐆 Panther (Ann Takamaki)
Panther is available via premium crates. You will need to purchase the Shujin Academy Crates to have a chance at dropping her epic-tier skin.
Exclusive P5R Themed Weapons and Blueprints
The exclusive P5R themed weapons are crafted to bring the flashy, rebellious spirit of the Phantom Thieves directly into your armory.
Mythic Phantom Dagger (Melee)
This brand-new melee weapon boasts incredible stats for close-quarters combat. Based on the Persona 5 aesthetic, it features unique red and black visual effects.
- Damage
- One-hit kill in standard multiplayer.
- Mobility
- Maximum movement speed multiplier.
- Visual Effects
- Leaves a trail of starry red sparks and comic-book style “BAM!” impact effects upon hitting an enemy.
Legendary Assault Rifle Blueprints
You will find the Shujin Academy and Metaverse camo treatments applied to top-tier ARs like the M13 and the Grau 5.56. These legendary blueprints feature custom iron sights shaped like Joker’s mask and emit bright red tracer fire effects that light up the map during intense firefights.
How to Play the Metaverse Mementos Game Mode
💡 The exclusive P5R themed weapons are just the beginning; you also get an entirely new way to play!
In order to play the Metaverse Mementos game mode, you need to select the limited-time 2026 event playlist from the main menu. This mode alters standard multiplayer maps with red and black dimensional rifts. You will navigate these altered maps to defeat AI-controlled shadows alongside enemy players. In Battle Royale, you can collect Palaces tokens from defeated shadows and deposit them at extraction points to earn massive amounts of event XP and unlock free cosmetic rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you unlock Persona 5 skins for free in Call of Duty Mobile?
You can unlock select Persona 5 skins for free by grinding event tokens in the Metaverse Mementos mode. While premium skins like Joker and Queen require COD Points, you can earn base-level Shujin Academy uniforms and the Skull operator skin entirely through free gameplay rewards.
Will the Persona 5 Royal crossover return to CODM?
