One Punch Man and Overwatch 2 collaboration has fans pumped for the former's season 3
On Tuesday, February 7, the Overwatch team introduced the game's first IP collaboration, with villain Doomfist being at the forefront of the initiative. He was seen with a brand new Saitama skin, consisting of the hero's signature yellow suit, white cape, red boots, and gloves. The skin fits Doomfist perfectly, who is an extremely punch-happy individual himself.
Besides Doomfist, no new skins have been disclosed so far, increasing the hype among fans for other potential character skins from the anime. Fubuki, Tatsumaki, Speed-o-Sound Sonic, and Garou are some of the most in-demand skins that fans hope to see in Overwatch 2. The collabortion event is set to run from March 7 to April 6, much to the excitement of fans worldwide.
Overwatch 2 is already filled with numerous anime references from impactful anime, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Dragon Ball Z. Thus, OPM X Overwatch 2 is a very lucrative crossover that offers the chance to execute a lot of interesting skin ideas.
The similarities between One Punch Man and Overwatch characters lend room for skins such as Tracer dressing as Flashy Flash, Kiriko as Tatsukami, Mercy as Fubuki, and Moira as Psykos among many other characters. The strongest link, however, is between Roadhog and Pig God, with their entire personalities being based around being powerful warriors.
Other features from the game include season 3 Battle Pass skins such as Mythic Amaterasu Kiriko and skins for Reaper, Junkrat, and Moira. The microtransaction shop of Overwatch 2 will also have new skins for D.Va, Mei, Zenyatta and Genji.
There will also be a control map in the game called Antarctic Peninsula, consisting of penguins, fishing holes, and deep snow that players can walk through, creating designs in the snow. On the event side of things, the game will have a new Valentine's Day event called Ultimate Valentine's Day, and the PachiMarchi event from the original Overwatch will also make its return.
The recently announced collab has created a storm on Twitter, with the hype showing no signs of stopping in the coming days. Both One Punch Man and Overwatch have dedicated communities full of exciting characters and seeing them come together is a cause for excitement for a lot of fans.
This collab will help season 3 ride a massive hypetrain, with people from the anime community migrating towards the game.
