Overwatch 2 Goes Full Mecha: Gundam Wing Collab Takes Flight

By Brian K. Neal

Blizzard is going big with its latest Overwatch 2 crossover, and this time it’s all about giant robots and anime nostalgia. Gundam Wing—the first Gundam series to hit American TV—is officially joining the fight in celebration of its 30th anniversary. The fusion of fast-paced hero shooter gameplay with iconic anime mechs is here, and it looks epic.

This limited-time event brings Legendary Skins straight out of the Gundam universe. Fan-favorite Overwatch heroes are getting full anime makeovers:

• Mercy channels Wing Gundam Zero
• Ramattra becomes the menacing Epyon
• Soldier: 76 suits up as Tallgeese
• Reaper transforms into the sleek and deadly Deathscythe

Each skin is more than a cosmetic—these are full-blown love letters to Gundam fans, merging Overwatch’s flair with sharp, cel-shaded aesthetics that scream “Saturday morning anime.”

But it doesn’t stop at skins. Players can dive into event-specific challenges to unlock exclusive Gundam Wing-themed loot. We’re talking the “Shinigami” title, a Zero System spray, and more. These bonuses not only nod to the anime’s deep lore but also let you flex your fandom in style.

Like all good things, this crossover is limited-time only—so if you want to blast off with your favorite mobile suit lookalikes, now’s the time to log in, squad up, and dominate the battlefield.
