Overwatch 2 is set to introduce exciting Gundam Wing skins for several heroes, including Mercy, Reaper, and Soldier: 76, inspired by iconic mechs from the beloved anime. This collaboration will debut on April 29 and although skins have been leaked, official details regarding pricing remain undisclosed. The Gundam Wing crossover adds to Overwatch 2’s growing list of anime collaborations, which already includes notable past skins from One-Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, and My Hero Academia.
In a recent collaboration, players enjoyed skins inspired by One-Punch Man in 2023, showcasing the adventures of Saitama. Following that, 2024 saw the introduction of Cowboy Bebop skins, based on the legendary 90s anime about space bounty hunters. The same year also brought skins from My Hero Academia, featuring looks for players based on Deku and his fellow heroes.
On Reddit, user -Elixo- provided a sneak peek of the upcoming Gundam Wing skins. Mercy’s skin will draw inspiration from the XXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero, while Soldier: 76 will wear the OZ-00MS Tallgeese design. Reaper will flaunt a skin based on the XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe, and Ramattra’s skin will be inspired by the OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon.
These leaks align with previous rumors about which heroes would receive new cosmetics in this crossover. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing first aired in 1995 and quickly gained popularity as the first Gundam series to be broadcast in the United States. Its plot follows five young pilots who take on the oppressive OZ organization using advanced Mobile Suits.
With the Gundam Wing collaboration arriving soon, players eagerly await more information on potential bundles and additional cosmetic items. In the meantime, the newly introduced Dokiwatch series features magical girl transformations for heroes like Widowmaker and D.Va, giving fans more reasons to customize their favorite characters.
