Summer is almost over, but that’s not stopping video game companies from releasing new summer skins for their respective games. Why so late? Why not? Today, Marvel Rivals released their new summer skins for Mantis, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, and The Punisher. Atlus is joining in on the fun with Tropical Motoha, a 5-star character who will be in her summer swimsuit.

Motoha Arai, aka Closer, is one of the first Phantom Thieves you recruit in the game. Her story is tragic, as it deals with shame and redemption. Tropical Motoha will be available very soon.

Persona5: The Phantom X is a free-to-play gacha JRPG that takes place in the Persona 5 world and includes old and new characters, including Ann Takamaki, Makoto, Joker, and more.
