Overview

  • Joker’s silhouette closes the Season 18 trailer, and Atlus amplified the reveal by reposting Blizzard’s video.
  • Coverage indicates the collaboration will take the form of Persona-themed skins for existing heroes rather than a playable Joker.
  • Season 18 goes live August 26 with Wuyang, a new support hero focused on tactical repositioning and utility.
  • The update expands Perks with 50+ new hero modifiers, introduces Stadium Quick Play updates including Payload Race and new heroes, and resets Competitive ranks.
  • Swimsuit cosmetics headline the battle pass and shop offerings, with some items gated to premium bundles, and reporting suggests the Persona set may arrive mid-season.
