Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia crossover release date & all skins

In the crossover event, you’ll find five skins based on My Hero Academia. Each skin changes a hero into a character from the series. Reinhardt assumes the part of All Might, the strongest character in the anime, while Tracer gets a new look as the main character, Izuku Midoriya.

How to get My Hero Academia skins in Overwatch 2

The skins will only be obtainable through the in-game shop, according to Blizzard’s announcement blog. Players can choose to purchase each one separately or opt for a pack that includes all five of them.

Although the specific prices haven’t been disclosed yet, given our experience with past collaborations, we anticipate that each skin might cost approximately 2,500 OW Coins, and the complete set could potentially be around 5,600.

I regret to inform you that you won’t be able to access these items just by playing games; instead, you’ll need to buy them using OW Coins. However, there’s good news! There will be five character-themed Sprays given out for free and a Weapon Charm that can also be unlocked during the event without any cost.

For those diving back into Overwatch 2 during Season 13, don’t forget to explore the steps for acquiring the Jester Sombra costume, as well as updates on the adjustments made to each hero – buffs and nerfs that could impact your gameplay.
