Gunnar Optiks is the latest company to collaborate with Overwatch 2, making it the second time the game has partnered with a glasses brand. This collaboration has been officially announced by Overwatch 2, showcasing their continued efforts to team up with other companies.
On June 26, Blizzard and Gunnar announced the release of two new officially licensed products: the Overwatch Ultimate and D.Va Tokki Edition gaming glasses.
According to the company, Gunnar glasses are designed with long gaming sessions in mind. They claim that these glasses can shield players’ eyes from blue light and alleviate common discomforts such as dry eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue, and headaches.
The Overwatch Ultimate version of the glasses, which are priced at $65 USD, showcase the game’s logo and incorporate its signature orange, gray, and yellow color scheme.
At the same time, the D.Va Tokki Edition, available at https://gunnar.com/products/overwatch-dva-tokki-edition?pb=0, showcases the iconic bunny emblem of the South Korean hero and stays true to the pink MEKA suit design. However, this version is priced at $125 USD.
This collaboration with Overwatch 2 is not the first time a glasses company has worked together with the franchise. In 2023, Blizzard also teamed up with Korean glasses brand Gentle Monster, which was considered the most unconventional crossover at the time.
Overwatch 2 revealed yet another glasses collab.
Similarly to the Gunnar collaboration, Gentle Monster stayed true to the Tokki theme and embraced D.Va’s identity as a professional gamer by designing glasses that reflected her persona.
Similar to Gunnar, Gentle Monster also included various in-game cosmetics, such as a legendary skin. However, there were some differences between the two.
Ever since the launch of Overwatch 2, Blizzard has been noticeably more transparent about potential collaborations compared to the first game. OW2 continues to impress audiences with its One Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, and LE SSERAFIM skins – and it seems the developers have no intention of slowing down.
The highly anticipated arrival of a Transformers collaboration on July 9 is set to take place during Season 11. Players have been eagerly anticipating the release of new skins and the announcement of which heroes will be included in the collaboration. Fans are excited to see the creative designs that the game’s artists have in store for them.
