Overwatch 2 and One Punch Man Reunite for New Crossover Skins

Overwatch 2 has officially joined forces with One Punch Man for another team-up. This latest collaboration marks the popular title’s second partnership in the game. However, it is not the first time that Overwatch 2 has revisited a crossover. Previously, the first-person shooter did the same with the Cowboy Bebop event. But this time around, it adds cosmetics into the mix. In particular, the collaboration introduces two new skins and rewards. At the same time, fans will find returning offerings from the last one.

Sharing a Common Denominator

The game and the One Punch Man series first worked together two years ago. It was in February for Overwatch 2’s Season 3. Their team-up was also the first time that the team-based shooter partnered with an external IP. Specifically, the last project brought four crossover skins to fans. Those also came with matching customizations.

Blizzard Entertainment said that Overwatch 2 and One Punch Man click because they share the same core. Both of them embrace the weird and wonderful.

“This is a playful collision where courage, absurdity, heroism, and even villainy all have a place,” emphasized the developers.

It is also the very reason why the two are once again doing another crossover event.

New and Returning Skins

According to Blizzard Entertainment, two Overwatch 2 heroes will suit up as popular characters from One Punch Man. For instance, Wuyang now dons the look of Garou. In the same way, Ashe is joining the lineup as Hellish Blizzard.

Similarly, fan-favorites are making a comeback. Particularly, four memorable crossover skins are returning to the game:

  • Doomfist as Saitama
  • Genji as Genos
  • Kiriko as Terrible Tornado
  • Soldier: 76 as Mumen Rider

Each skin does not simply appear for the sake of the team-up. They capture the essence of the anime counterpart. At the same time, the creators ensure that the cosmetics stay true to the game’s visual style.

Limited-Time Challenges and Rewards

As mentioned in the announcement, players can participate in challenges during the event. In turn, competing gives them the chance to earn exclusive rewards. The gifts they can claim are the following:

  • Soldier: 76 Mumen Rider skin
  • 15,000 Battle Pass XP
  • Crossover Cosmetics

However, players need to hurry as these offerings are only available until the collaboration ends.

Availability and Looking Ahead

The second Overwatch 2 and One Punch Man crossover event is now live in the game. Players can experience it until October 29.

Whether the goal is to collect skins or join the fun, this collaboration is one to try. As the developers said, the first one set the bar, and this new one takes it to the next level. Plus, it is safe to say that fans can now look forward to more partnerships that bring exciting offerings.
