by

Summary

  • Overwatch 2 hints at a potential collaboration with Gundam Wing for Season 16.
  • Prior leaks suggest a Gundam Wing x Overwatch 2 crossover event is likely, coinciding with the anime’s 30th anniversary.
  • The update for Season 16, including new hero Freja, is set for April 22, potentially unveiling the collaboration.

As a passionate fan, I couldn’t help but notice Overwatch 2 playfully hinting at a possible alliance with the iconic mecha anime, Gundam Wing, in an official post celebrating its 30th anniversary! Although it’s not a definitive confirmation, this cheeky teaser aligns nicely with earlier leaks pointing toward a potential collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Gundam Wing, which might be unveiled during Season 16.

Despite the fact that the Gundam franchise started 15 years prior, it was Mobile Suit Gundam Wing that gained significant popularity as it was the first series to air on American television, marking its debut. The initial story in the alternative After Colony timeline, Gundam Wing, made its Japanese premiere on April 7, 1995, while its US broadcast commenced on March 6, 2000.

It appears that a new iteration of the Earth in a futuristic setting may soon host Gundam Wing, as evidenced by the special website launched by Gundam to mark its 30th anniversary. Interestingly, Overwatch 2, which typically has minimal connection with Gundam, acknowledged this milestone on Twitter and added intriguing comments that hint at a potential collaboration. Statements such as “The 30th anniversary of Gundam Wing is very exciting,” coupled with cryptic phrases like “Don’t mind us” and an eye emoji between two bushes, seem to imply that there might be more to this announcement than meets the eye.

Overwatch 2 Comments on Gundam Wing Anniversary

It’s not new information that there might be a collaboration between Gundam Wing and Overwatch 2. Just recently, a fan named Ska’Vorah posted what appeared to be leaked images from Blizzard, suggesting the presence of a Gundam Wing logo and a Genji skin resembling Zechs Merquise’s red uniform.

It’s quite plausible that these remarks and leaks are just a coincidence, but they strongly suggest that a collaboration between Gundam Wing and Overwatch 2 might be imminent in Season 16. The significant update is slated for April 22, so fans should know if this crossover is true soon, with the possibility of an announcement on April 7, which marks the anime’s anniversary.

Regardless of any potential crossover with “Gundam Wing,” Overwatch 2 Season 16 promises to be monumental! The update will introduce Freja, a swift damage hero who hunts bounties, and the colossal Stadium game mode, featuring a third-person perspective and enhanced ability customization beyond what Perks offer. If that isn’t enough excitement, there are more surprises in store for Overwatch 2 within a few short weeks. A Gundam Wing collaboration would simply be the cherry on top!
