About

Sonic Forces Persona 5 Costume, also known as Fursona 5, refers to the Persona 5-themed player skin for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog video game Sonic Forces. After the costume was announced in late August 2017, many online made jokes describing it as a furry depiction of the Persona 5 protagonist.

Origin

On August 31st, 2017, the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account announced several pre-order bonus costumes for Sonic Forces, which included skin based on the protagonist Joker from Persona 5 (shown below).[1] Following the announcement, many began joking that the costume was a depiction of Joker's "fursona."
