Summary
Overwatch 2has announced its first-ever in-game musical collaboration, with Blizzard’s hero-shooter teaming up with popular K-pop group LE SSERAFIM. While the originalOverwatchdidn’t have much in the way of crossover content,Overwatch 2has been going all-in on the concept.
Crossover events and skins are popular in free-to-play games, and withOverwatch 2adopting a free-to-play model, it makes sense for the game to pursue crossovers of its own. The firstOverwatch 2crossover saw the game joining forces withOne Punch Man, giving players the chance to collect a variety of skins based on the hit anime series, including aSaitama skin for Tank hero Doomfist.
The nextOverwatch 2crossoveris the game’s first-ever music collaboration. TheOverwatch 2LE SSERAFIM collab will include a music video for the group’s “Perfect Night” single, debuting on October 26 at 9pm PT. As far as in-game content goes, LE SSERAFIM fans can look forward to a custom game mode inspired by the group, along with special in-game items and hero skins. Details on these crossover items are unavailable at the time of this writing, but more information will come to light on October 30, with the event itself going live on November 1.
November 2023 is going to be a big month forOverwatch 2. Beyond the LE SSERAFIM collab kicking off,November will also host BlizzCon 2023, an event that will see Blizzard giving fans updates on all its big games. As it so happens, LE SSERAFIM will be at BlizzCon on November 4 to perform “Perfect Night” during the event’s closing ceremonies.
Overwatch 2will be featured at BlizzCon 2023, with fans getting their first look at the game’snew Tank hero, expected to arrive as part of Season 8. The identity of the new Tank hero is anyone’s guess at this point, but the leading theory is thatOverwatch 2is finally adding Mauga to the game.
While some fans may already be looking forward to whatOverwatch 2Season 8 will entail, there’s still plenty to look forward to in Season 7. Currently,Overwatch 2Season 7 is running the Halloween Terror event, and later in the season, fans can look forward to thelong-awaited Roadhog rework. Further down the line, it’s likely that there will be even moreOverwatch 2crossovers to look forward to, so fans should keep an eye out.
Overwatch 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
