Overwatch 2: Iconic World of Warcraft Skins Arrive in New Collaboration

13. September 2024 by Valentin Pasetti

Blizzard Entertainment is bringing the world of Azeroth into Overwatch 2 through an exciting crossover with World of Warcraft (WoW). This new collaboration introduces iconic skins for four heroes, each paying homage to legendary WoW characters.

Skins Coming to Overwatch 2:

  • Lich King Reinhardt: Reinhardt takes on the terrifying persona of the Lich King, complete with glowing eyes, skull-adorned armor, and a massive Frostmourne.
  • Thrall Zenyatta: Zenyatta channels the powerful orc Thrall, bringing wisdom and strength in his new look.
  • Sylvanas Windrunner Widowmaker: Widowmaker becomes the Banshee Queen herself, offering a deadly and stunning new aesthetic.
  • Diamond Magni Torbjörn: While Torbjörn already has a Magni skin, this version gives it a shiny, diamond-like upgrade, though fans may feel it’s a missed chance to introduce a new hero skin.

These skins are crafted with attention to detail, blending the distinct style of WoW with the futuristic heroes of Overwatch 2.

The skins are set to launch later this season, with additional content like sprays, voice lines, and other cosmetics likely being tied to challenges. A blog and gameplay trailer will release next week, giving players a closer look at this epic crossover.

Pricing and Availability

Much like previous collaborations (Transformers, One Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop), these skins will probably be offered individually and as part of a bundle. Based on past pricing, they’re expected to be on the pricier side.

Conclusion

Fans of both Overwatch 2 and World of Warcraft will love this new crossover, as two of Blizzard’s iconic universes collide with powerful skins and additional cosmetics. Whether you’re a fan of the Lich King or Sylvanas Windrunner, this collaboration offers a nostalgic journey into Azeroth, now in the world of Overwatch.
