Recent leaks suggest that Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 will be receiving Gundam Wing skins in an upcoming Overwatch 2 collaboration event. This has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see which characters from Gundam Wing, such as Altrom or Wing Zero, might inspire these new skins.
The Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing crossover is set to begin on April 29. The leak emerged shortly after Overwatch 2 kicked off its Season 16 on April 22, which introduced significant updates including buffs, nerfs, and adjustments to various perks.
Season 16 also marks the debut of Freja, the 43rd playable character in the game, who is a new damage hero designed for players adept at positioning and precision. Among the additions for this season are the Stadium mode for 5v5 matches, competitive hero bans, and the much-anticipated collaboration with the mecha franchise.
A passionate Overwatch 2 fan recently shared a concept for Cyberpunk 2077 skins, showcasing potential crossover ideas. According to Twitter user wiki_ow, the confirmed heroes receiving Gundam Wing skins are Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76, although the specifics on which Gundam characters will be represented remain undisclosed.
Notably, the Season 16 trailer appears to confirm Mercy’s involvement, but without revealing which Gundam Wing character will be adapted into her skin. Players are particularly enthusiastic about Ramattra potentially receiving a new skin, given his popularity.
Discussions speculate about various Gundam Wing characters like Talgeese or Deathscythe Hell possibly becoming skins for Ramattra and Reaper. However, some fans expressed disappointment that characters such as Echo and Pharah, seen as fitting for Heavyarms skins, have not been included.
As the anticipation builds, players can look forward to more information as the crossover approaches. In the meantime, exclusive cosmetics, including limited-time skins for Soldier: 76 and Juno, are available through the Stadium: Initiation event, alongside the new Dokiwatch series featuring skins for characters like Mercy, Moira, and Widowmaker.
Overwatch 2 encourages continuous engagement as an evolving free-to-play, team-based action game, with various challenges and updates ensuring there is always something new on the horizon.
