Arknights CN is crossing over with Persona 3 Reload in a limited-time event that brings Makoto Yuki, Aigis, Yukari Takeba, and Koromaru to Terra. Here’s what to expect from the collaboration when it launches on September 4.
Arknights CN x Persona 3 Reload Collab Starts September 4, Ends September 25
New Operators, Limited Outfits, and More
Arknights will launch its Persona 3 Reload collaboration, "Moonlight Over Water," on September 4, 2026. The event will run on the Chinese server until September 25, with its main stages available through September 18.
The collaboration introduces four Persona 3 Reload characters as Arknights Operators:
⚫︎ Makoto Yuki - 6-star
⚫︎ Aigis - 5-star
⚫︎ Yukari Takeba - 5-star
⚫︎ Koromaru - 1-star
Makoto Yuki, Aigis, and Yukari Takeba are available only through the limited "Night of Stone White and Deep Blue" recruitment banner. Makoto Yuki carries a 50% rate-up share among six-star draws and is hard-guaranteed within 120 pulls. Aigis and Yukari Takeba share the five-star rate-up, with the banner guaranteeing the other featured unit after one has been obtained. Koromaru, on the other hand, can be obtained as an event reward. These Operators will remain exclusive to the event.
The banner runs from September 4 at 12:00 P.M. to September 18 at 3:59 A.M. local server time. Arknights has yet to announce when or if the collab event will arrive on the Global, Japanese, or Korean servers.
The collaboration will give each of the four characters a limited outfit, with all four available until the event ends.
⚫︎ Makoto Yuki - "In Witness of Glory"
⚫︎ Aigis - "In Contemplation of Life"
⚫︎ Yukari Takeba - "In Vigil of Dawn and Dusk"
⚫︎ Koromaru - "Over the City of Sweetness"
The outfits place the Persona 3 Reload cast in Laterano-inspired settings. The official Arknights Bilibili page describes Yukari’s outfit as the costume she wears for a school drama festival. Koromaru’s outfit features him surrounded by sweets in a dreamlike scene.
Makoto, Aigis, and Yukari’s outfits will be available through the in-game shop. Koromaru’s outfit, meanwhile, can be claimed for free as an event reward.
The collaboration will give players additional recruitment tickets through its login campaigns. Ten single-pull tickets will arrive through in-game mail during the first 10 days. A separate 10-day login campaign will provide two ten-pull tickets on its first and eighth days. These tickets can only be used on the collaboration banner and will expire when the recruitment period ends.
Moonlight Over Water will open in two stages. The "School Route" begins on September 4, followed by "Funerary Hall" on September 11 at 4:00 P.M. Both will remain available until September 18.
Players can complete Tarot card spreads using cards collected from event stages through "Today's Answer," an in-game activity, to unlock extra rewards, like upgrade materials and furniture. Koromaru himself can be claimed by clearing event missions.
Official materials confirm the collaboration will transport the Persona 3 Reload cast into the world of Terra. The story follows the group as they adjust to life in Laterano, where Aigis even takes part in a school film production. The project gives her a chance to play a mechanical knight in a tokusatsu film, complete with a story she is more than happy to spoil for her classmates.
The full story of "Moonlight Over Water" remains undisclosed for now, with more details expected once the Side Story launches on September 4.
