As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that there’s been a rumor about an upcoming crossover in Overwatch 2! Allegedly, Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 might be getting Gundam Wing-inspired skins. The game kicked off Season 16 on April 22, and it’s packed with updates like buffs and nerfs, tweaks to perks, and this potential collaboration with the legendary mecha franchise.

Season 16 of Overwatch 2 introduces Freja, our 43rd playable character, who is a damage hero and a fresh addition to Blizzard’s shooter game. Ideal for players with skills in positioning and precision, Freja offers a unique mix of mobility and long-range attacks. This season also includes the introduction of Stadium mode, where teams face off in 5v5 matches over best-of-7 series, and hero bans in competitive play, which has been one of the most highly anticipated community requests. Additionally, Season 16 will feature a partnership with Gundam Wing, with leaked information hinting at potential details about this collaboration.

On Twitter, user wiki_ow disclosed that Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 are expected to receive skins themed after the anime “Gundam Wing.” The source doesn’t provide additional information such as which “Gundam Wing” characters will be represented in these skins, their cost, or whether extra items like emotes and sprays will also be available. It is noteworthy that Blizzard has hinted at Mercy being part of the event in the Season 16 trailer, but it remains unclear which “Gundam Wing” character will correspond to her skin in Overwatch 2.

  • Ramattra
  • Reaper
  • Soldier: 76
  • Mercy (already official)

On various social media platforms, there’s been a buzz among players about the prospect of Ramattra receiving a new skin in Overwatch 2, given his popularity among fans. Some discussions have proposed potential characters from Gundam Wing that could serve as skins for Ramattra, such as Altron and Talgeese. Other comments have speculated on various characters, like Deathscythe Hell or Sandrock as a Reaper skin, RX-78-2 for Soldier, and Wing Zero for Mercy. Regrettably, it seems that the crossover event didn’t include some beloved characters like Echo, Pharah, or Mauga, who were suggested by fans as fitting candidates for a Heavyarms skin.

At present, the details provided by wiki_ow are based on speculation, meaning things might change regarding which characters will receive the Gundam Wing-inspired skins. But, Overwatch 2 enthusiasts should expect to learn more in the coming days, as the collaboration with Gundam Wing is set for release on April 29. Although the Gundam-themed skins haven’t been released yet, players can acquire other exclusive items by participating in the Stadium: Initiation event and gaining limited-time skins for Soldier: 76 and Juno, as well as the new Dokiwatch series that includes skins for Mercy, Moira, and Widowmaker.
