Overwatch 2 players have been enjoying Season 3 for about a month now, but it looks like even more excitement is on the horizon. Blizzard Entertainment has announced a collaboration between Overwatch 2 and the popular anime and manga series One-Punch Man. The collaboration event will run from March 7th to April 6th and will feature new skins and other content inspired by the world of One-Punch Man. The YouTube player is already available and embedded at the top of this article.
The highlight of the collaboration will be the new skins for Doomfist and Soldier 76. Doomfist will be receiving a Saitama skin, while Soldier 76 will get a Mumen Rider skin. The Mumen Rider skin will be free to earn, while the Saitama skin will likely be exclusive to the in-game store and only purchasable with Overwatch Coins. Other skins and content have yet to be confirmed.
To showcase the new content, Blizzard Entertainment will be releasing a new trailer for the collaboration on March 7th at 11 AM PT. Fans eagerly anticipate the trailer, hoping to get a glimpse of the new skins and other content available during the event.
In addition to the collaboration, a mid-season balance patch is also due to arrive, which could coincide with the start of the event. No details have been revealed about the patch, but players are speculating about possible changes to heroes like Wrecking Ball, Mercy, and Ramattra.
Overall, the Overwatch 2 x One-Punch Man collaboration event is shaping up to be a significant event for fans of both franchises. With new skins, content, and possibly even balance changes, players will have plenty of reasons to keep playing Overwatch 2 in the coming weeks.
