Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing Collaboration Skins
Beyond the new skins, players will also be able to complete in-game challenges to earn some other exclusiveGundam Wingcosmetics, including the Shinigami Player Title, the Zero System Spray, and the Gundamari Weapon Charm. Fans will have to wait until the event begins to see exactly how to complete these challenges, but progress will likely be earned simply by playing games, providing an easy way to earn these collectibles, as well as some extra Battle Pass XP.
Interestingly enough, there were two sets of leaks that predicted these very skins would be a part of this collaboration: one in a Twitter post by credible leaker wiki_ow, and another via images ofOverwatch 2Name Cards depicting theGundam Wingskins. Now that these skins – including the datamined Name Cards – have been officially revealed, both of these leaks have been proven true.
The trailer for thisOverwatch 2xGundam Wingcollaboration takes place on the fan-favorite Horizon Lunar Colony map. Unfortunately, the beloved Assault map is currently only accessible in Custom Games or Arcade at the moment, but the new Stadium game mode has already revived the Paris map with Place Lacroix, not to mention the Hanaoka and the Throne of Anubis maps created for Clash.Overwatch 2plans to add more maps to Stadiumin future seasons, so if players are lucky, perhaps the Horizon Lunar Colony will finally return in some form down the road.
