Overwatch 2 KO’s with Street Fighter 6 Collab: Skins, Bundles, and Fighting Flair!

Overwatch 2 is stepping into the arena with a knockout collaboration, bringing the iconic world of Street Fighter 6 into the hero shooter. Get ready for fighting flair, reimagined signature moves, and cosmetic combos worthy of champions!

The collaboration, announced last week, is described as "a match made in heaven" by Overwatch art director Dion Rogers, highlighting the shared background of Blizzard and Capcom in game development. "Capcom though, they do this. They make games. They get it," Rogers said. "The back-and-forth between us and Capcom was really nice."

So, which heroes are getting the Street Fighter treatment? Eight Overwatch heroes will be sporting new looks:

• Hanzo as Ryu
• Juno as Chun-Li
• Kiriko as Juri
• Sigma as M. Bison
• Soldier: 76 as Guile
• Widowmaker as Cammy
• Winston as Blanka
• Zenyatta as Dhalsim

These pairings were carefully chosen, allowing the development team to explore new facets of each hero. For example, Widowmaker’s Cammy gets a more human-like skin color, a departure from her trademark purple.

Tsang revealed that Street Fighter's influence runs deep within Overwatch's DNA. "I learned how to draw by studying the Street Fighter and Capcom artists," he explained. He added that the decision to feature heroes from diverse countries was inspired by Street Fighter's global representation.

The skins are available via the Street Fighter 6 Ultra Bundle, which includes all eight collab skins, or through two separate Mega Bundles. Players can also purchase the skins individually. Even if you don't buy a skin, completing in-game challenges will earn you 40,000 XP, themed sprays, voice lines, and the "Street Fighter" player title. The collaboration runs from May 20th through June 2nd.
