Morgana is one of the standout characters fromPersona 5and has become a breakout star in his own right. Following the success ofPersona 5, the game’s protagonist Joker was added toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatewhile Morgana was recently added toSuper Monkey Ball: Banana Maniaas a playable character. With the excitement surrounding the announcement of Morgana’s inclusion in the newSuper Monkey Ball, many fans have started wondering what other games the adorable cat could pop up in, and there are some very good possibilities.
InPersona 5Morgana is a party member who joins Joker on a quest to recover lost memories. His primary appearance resembles a tuxedo cat with a large head while he can also take the form of a van in the Metaverse. When in the real world, however, Morgana looks like little more than an adorable house cat, although it’s his personality that has largely seen the character win over fans. Morgana has a constant ongoing identity crisis from a lack of all of his memories, which leads to some key comedic moments that bring some levity toPersona 5and help cement Morgana as one of the most popular characters fromPersona’s 25-year history. This makes Morgana perfect for more crossovers in other games to help build excitement forPersona 6and attract new players toPersona 5.

Monster Hunter: Rise
Monster Hunter: Riseis the newest entry in the classic franchise featuring varied weaponry and tactics to take down gigantic beasts. To help them, players have companions in the form of Felynes and Palamutes. TheMonster Hunterseries is also well known for crossovers withMonster Hunter Riseeven recently hinting at a crossover event withSonic the Hedgehog.
This makesMonster Hunter: Risea perfect candidate for a crossover featuring Morgana, especially withMonster Hunter: Rise’s upcoming release on PC. It would be interesting to see a unique quest inMonster Hunter: Risethat takes hunters to the metaverse, while players could also have Morgana as their Felyne and even unlock a costume for their regular Felyne to make them resemble Morgana. The game’s release on PC would also be perfect forPersona 5to help expose the game’s audience to the series and try to get them interested in the Steam version ofPersona 4 Goldenor, hopefully, a future PC port ofPersona 5as well.
Genshin Impact
Genshin Impactis a free-to-play open-world RPG that has maintained a large player base since its release just over a year ago. Available on mobile and PlayStation 4, the game has featured numerous crossovers over its lifespan, and thePersonaseries would be a great match for the game.Genshin Impactrevolves around players collecting a wide cast of playable heroes to use, level up, and customize, andPersona’s massive stable of characters would fit well into that formula so that all fans would be able to get a character that they like in the game.

Morgana could be an unlockable character that could join the player’s party with unique abilities that could take inspiration from his various forms and abilities inPersona 5’s metaverse. Another option would be for Morgana to play a more administrative role in the crossover event, likely having players collecting a resource or completing objectives themed around the crossover, and Morgana would be a great option for the NPC that players talk to during the event for quests and rewards. The developers could also pull fromPersona’s Metaverse to help make the crossover feel completely unique and unlike any ofGenshin Impact’s previous crossovers as well.
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossingis a series all about players building and maintaining a community for a number of varied and unique animal friends. The series has not had too many crossovers in the past, except forits additions of Sanrio items and charactersas well asLegend of Zeldain older entries, but Morgana would be a very interesting crossover if the series does start being more open to the idea. Morgana’s appearance as an anthropomorphized cat would help him fit right in with the crowd inAnimal Crossing, while his unique personality would also help him stand out from other villagers in the game.
A crossover event including Morgana could also bring a lot of unique items toAnimal Crossingfor players to unlock or craft. ThePersonaseries has a very unique aesthetic that would contrast a lot withAnimal Crossing’s softer visual style. This would be great to not only make the event feel special and unique from anything else currently in the series, but it also would let players customize their houses and island in a new colorful way.Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis getting some new content soon, so, hopefully, it will also be revealed that Nintendo is opening up the series to more crossovers and new events for players to check out.
There are many options thatPersonacould pursue for future crossovers and interactions with other titles.Persona 5has already gotten a good number of cameos in other titles, which has been great for the game so far, so hopefully, it will continue getting more going forward as well.Persona 5has a number of fantastic characters to utilizes in those crossovers, with Morgana being a fantastic option with how iconic he has become for the series.
