Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia collab skins revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2024

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the latest collaboration between Overwatch 2 and My Hero Academia has me absolutely thrilled! Ever since I first watched the anime and fell in love with its vibrant characters and captivating storyline, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to bring them into my gaming world.


In Overwatch 2, a fresh collaboration has been announced, and this time it’s teaming up with the well-known anime series My Hero Academia. Check out the complete selection of skins below.

Collaborations in Overwatch 2 have grown significantly, extending from games such as World of Warcraft to acclaimed animes like One Punch Man and Cowboy Bebop. At this year’s Tokyo Game Show 2024 during the Xbox presentation, Blizzard unveiled another collaboration with the renowned anime My Hero Academia.

In the unveiling, a brief sneak peek featured the costumes appearing reminiscent of the characters from the anime “My Hero Academia”. Previously, this series had collaborated with games like Fortnite, yet these costumes bore a resemblance to the anime’s cel-shaded style.

In Overwatch 2, the character skins now boast a 3D design that harmonizes with the game’s artistic aesthetic and imbues the beloved characters with added depth.

Fans have long been proposing ideas for a My Hero Academia collaboration within Overwatch 2. Now that this collaboration has been confirmed, there’s much excitement on social media as people celebrate the news.

A fan expressed: “The designs are awesome, but wow, this seems like Reinhardt’s third or fourth collaboration skin. He certainly rakes in the money, chuckle-worthy. However, no other character could pull off All Might quite like him.” Another added: “I must admit, the crossover between Overwatch and My Hero Academia is surprisingly cool.

At the moment, the collaboration for Overwatch 2 is set to launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and PC systems. However, it has not been confirmed whether this crossover will also be available for PlayStation players.
