The Morgana (P5R) Sidekick is the tuxedo-cat companion from the Fortnite x Persona 5 Royal crossover, part of the Gaming Legends Series. Rather than a full playable outfit, Morgana follows you around a match as a cosmetic pet with its own voice lines, styles, and a signature vehicle transformation emote.
Quick answer: The Morgana (P5R) Sidekick arrives in the Fortnite Item Shop on September 25, 2026 at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, with a default Persona 5 style and a crowned Persona 5 Royal style unlocked through Quests.
Release time: September 25, 2026, 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT
When the Morgana (P5R) Sidekick releases
Morgana arrives with the expanded Persona 5 Item Shop release on September 25, 2026. The Shop rotates at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT; for players in the UK, that works out to 1 AM BST on September 26. The Sidekick and Joker outfit become available on the same day.
Epic has not announced a V-Bucks cost or clarified whether Morgana will be sold separately or only as part of a larger Persona bundle. Before purchasing another Persona cosmetic in hopes of getting the Sidekick, review the items listed on its Shop card.
Morgana’s default and Persona 5 Royal styles
The Sidekick ships with two selectable looks. The default is available immediately, while the crowned variant is tied to quest progress.
| Style | Appearance | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Morgana (Persona 5) | Attire for a black-and-white cat phantom thief, featuring a yellow bandana | Included by default |
| Morgana (Persona 5 Royal) | Large gold crown and white ascot | Unlocked through Quests |
To switch between them, open the Sidekick’s Edit Style menu in the Locker. The Royal style shows a locked marker until you complete the required quest progress, so the crown will not appear on Morgana until that unlock is finished.
The MORGANA… TRANSFOOOOO built-in emote
Morgana carries a unique built-in Sidekick emote called MORGANA… TRANSFOOOOO. Triggering it transforms the cat into the black-and-yellow Morgana van, mirroring the character’s vehicle change from Persona 5. You select it under the Sidekick Emote slot in the Locker, where the alternative is simply “None.”
Voice lines and in-game reactions
Morgana is a cosmetic companion, so it deals no damage, does not reveal enemies, and does not improve loot. What it does add is a steady stream of spoken lines and animations that respond to what you do in a match.
Walk up to Morgana and a HI-FIVE prompt appears (default key E). Pressing it plays a randomized voice line each time. Aiming your crosshair at Morgana triggers “Looking cool!”, and opening treasure chests makes its eyes turn into yellow stars as it jumps and gives a thumbs-up. Using a dance emote prompts reactive chirps and meows at the start and end of the animation.
The spoken lines heard so far include:
- “Time to get to work!”
- “Mona here!”
- “It’s almost scary how good I am!”
- “Okay, let’s go!”
- “Right!”
- “Hold up!”
- “Looking cool!”
Morgana also follows your movement, matching walking, trotting, and sprinting animations, and reacts when you fire a weapon nearby. None of these responses change combat outcomes.
Modes where the Sidekick works
You equip Morgana from the Sidekicks tab in the Locker, the same place that holds every other companion pet.
Once equipped, the Morgana (P5R) Sidekick is usable across several modes:
- Battle Royale
- LEGO Fortnite Odyssey
- LEGO Fortnite Brick Life
- Fortnite Festival
- Reload
The paid Sidekick is separate from the Morgana Sprite in Chapter 7 Season 4 and from the Morgana Bus vehicle cosmetic. They share the character but use different acquisition routes, so owning one does not grant the others.
Buying Morgana from the Item Shop
When the Persona 5 refresh goes live, find Morgana on its Item Shop card and confirm the purchase. You know it worked when the Item Acquired notification appears and the Sidekick shows up in your Locker, ready to equip.
Until the live Shop confirms the final listing, treat any circulating price as an estimate. The September 25 refresh will settle whether Morgana is a standalone purchase or bundled with the rest of the Phantom Thieves lineup.
