Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer, the exercise series for Nintendo Switch, has just received news that should excite fans of rhythm games and RPGs. Imagineer, the developer of the franchise, announced through its official X (formerly Twitter) profile a DLC pack with the iconic soundtrack of Persona 5 Royal. Scheduled for release tomorrow, January 8, 2026, the expansion arrives to give a new breath and style to Brazilian players’ workouts. Therefore, those looking for an exercise routine with the unmistakable charm and rhythm of the Phantom Thieves have a good reason to return to punching.
The new DLC functions as a musical crossover, allowing users to perform their boxing sessions to the sound of special arrangements of songs from Atlus’ acclaimed RPG. Additionally, the pack also includes three cosmetic designs of Persona 5 Royal themed t-shirts to customize the in-game avatar. Thus, the experience becomes a complete immersion into the stylized universe of Persona. The Fitness Boxing franchise, which has already sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, bets on the strength of one of the most celebrated game soundtracks to attract new players and re-engage its fan base in 2026.
The operation is simple and maintains the essence of previous titles: using the Switch’s Joy-Con controllers, the player follows sequences of punches and dodges to the rhythm of the music, all under the command of a virtual trainer. However, with the addition of Persona 5 Royal tracks, the feeling is completely renewed. Thanks to this collaboration, fans can expect a unique energy, transforming physical exercise into a performance full of style. The crossover strategy is already known to Imagineer, which in the past combined boxing with franchises like Hatsune Miku and Fist of the North Star, showing that the formula is a success.
A Franchise That Mixes Game and Exercise
Since its first release in Japan in 2018, the Fitness Boxing series has established itself as a popular option for those wanting to exercise at home with the help of the Nintendo Switch. The third game, Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer, arrived on the market in December 2023, refining the formula that combines rhythm gameplay with instructions from a virtual personal trainer. Meanwhile, the Persona 5 Royal universe, originally released for PS4 in 2019, won over millions of players with its narrative and electrifying soundtrack, also arriving on Switch and PC in 2022. Therefore, this union seems natural for both audiences.
The popularity of the genre only increases, and collaborations like this are proof of the creative potential of the market. The question that remains is: could other famous RPGs get their fitness versions in the future? Imagineer has already shown that it is not afraid to experiment, and sales success justifies these bets. Thus, Brazilian players can expect more news throughout this year. After all, staying active has never been so fun and full of personality.
