Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia Collab Runs Until October 30

Overwatch 2 is going plus ultra with its new collaboration with My Hero Academia, allowing players to don exclusive legendary skins from the anime.

The latest Overwatch 2 crossover from Blizzard has finally come to the game, taking inspiration from another popular anime series. Joining the heroes and villains of the shooter are skins modeled after iconic characters from My Hero Academia. From October 17-30, Overwatch 2 players will be able to play as their anime heroes or villains. The designs are so good, making it seem like the game’s characters are just wearing perfect My Hero Academia cosplay!

This limited-time partnership is a true combination, taking the best of both worlds. On the hero team, Tracer dons the main protagonist Deku, Juno as the optimistic Uravity, and Reinhardt as the symbol of peace, All Might. Opposite to face them, Kiriko is taking on the blood-loving villain Himiko Toga, and Reaper is sporting the leader of the League of Villains Tomura Shigaraki. Each skin was said to capture the essence of the beloved characters, and I can confirm they look really accurate and vivid.

This collab is perfect for a game like Overwatch 2 because both emphasize the stoics of being a hero, and the ambiguity of fighting for what they believe in with the villains. These skins encapsulate the core looks and general vibes of each character from the shooter to their anime counterpart. Grabbing the Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia Mega Bundle is the best chance to collect them all. This Shop bundle includes all five skins that also come with additional cosmetics.

Players can also keep playing to earn five sprays and an All Might charm. This is a must-grab collection for those who love everything My Hero Academia, and so happened to play Overwatch 2. Or maybe, this is the perfect opportunity to start playing, by enjoying the love of the anime characters. Do not forget, this collection is only available from October 17-30. The trailer below shows a preview of the skins.

The last two major anime collabs included characters from Cowboy Bebop and One Punch Man. Overwatch 2 also wrapped their Transformers crossover and World of Warcraft celebration. Blizzard has been known to bring a bunch of IP crossovers to the game, sort of mimicking Fortnite.
