Overwatch Anime Skins
This is not the first collaboration Overwatch has had with an anime.
Last year, the hero shooter partnered with Gundam Wing for the show’s 30th anniversary with skins for , RamattraMercy, Solider 76, and Reaper.
Meanwhile, the first was a collab with One Punch Man in 2023, which appropriately gave Doomfist a Saitama skin.
Additionally, Overwatch also partnered with Cowboy Bebop for a skin line which saw Cassidy starring as Spike Spiegel.
And Blizzard partnered with one of the biggest modern-day shonen, My Hero Academia, with Tracer as Deku, Reinhardt as All Might, Juno as Uravity, Reaper as Tomura Shigaraki, and Kiriko as Kimiko Toga.
