Overwatch 2's Doomfist getting a skin inspired by One Punch Man's Saitama in Season 3

Season 3 of Overwatch 2 is about to kickstart on February 7, 2023. One of the events this season will be a collaboration between the game and popular manga-turned-anime, One Punch Man.

As part of that collaboration, Doomfist, one of the Damage heroes in the game, is getting a skin based on Saitama, the eponymous protagonist of One Punch Man. The Doomfist skin will most likely be categorized as a Legendary-tier skin, which players can get by completing event-themed challenges.

The Doomfist skin resembles Saitama's outfit in the anime and consists of a yellow overall, put together with a brown belt. It also has the same red gloves and boots shown in the anime. The skin would be incomplete without the iconic white cape, but Blizzard has delivered yet again.

As mentioned earlier, the event will last for a month, from March 7-April 6, 2023. Players can earn multiple in-game cosmetics through it, among which will be a free Legendary skin.
