Tokyo Game Show 2024: Overwatch 2 and My Hero Academia Collaboration Skins Unveiled

A new collaboration is coming to Overwatch 2, this time featuring the beloved anime My Hero Academia. Below is the complete lineup of skins.

Collaborations in Overwatch 2 have been on the rise, spanning from other games like World of Warcraft to iconic anime series such as One Punch Man and Cowboy Bebop. Blizzard has unveiled yet another partnership with the popular anime My Hero Academia during the Xbox presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2024.

This exciting crossover was introduced with a brief teaser that showcased skins inspired by the anime’s characters. While My Hero Academia has previously teamed up with games like Fortnite—where skins featured a cel-shaded style—the Overwatch 2 skins have been redesigned using 3D models that enhance the game’s unique art style and bring these iconic characters to life.
