Transformers Meet Overwatch Heroes
Blizzard Entertainment has announced an upcoming collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Transformers, set to kick off on July 9. The crossover will introduce four new character skins inspired by beloved Transformers icons.
Reinhardt transforms into Optimus Prime, leading the charge as the courageous Autobot leader. Bastion adopts the persona of Bumblebee, while Illari takes on a striking portrayal of Arcee in pink. Ramratta embodies the menacing presence of the Decepticon leader, Megatron.
Details of the Collaboration
The new skins mark Blizzard's latest venture into crossover content for Overwatch 2. Similar to previous collaborations featuring Cowboy Bebop and One Punch Man, among others, this event showcases four unique skins that transform Overwatch heroes into iconic Transformers characters. Players can expect these collectible skins to be available for purchase through Overwatch 2's in-game store, though Blizzard has yet to confirm pricing details.
Blizzard clarified that while the heroes will sport the appearances of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Arcee, players will still control their respective Overwatch characters. This approach allows fans to enjoy the crossover without altering the core gameplay mechanics of Overwatch 2.
Availability and Platforms
Overwatch 2, where this exciting crossover will unfold, is accessible across multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Players on these platforms can immerse themselves in the action-packed world of Overwatch 2 starting July 9, experiencing firsthand the thrill of battling it out with these legendary Transformers-inspired skins.
Stay tuned for more updates as Blizzard continues to unveil additional details leading up to the event's launch on July 9.
