The developers of Overwatch 2 continue to actively expand the game's universe through large-scale crossovers with popular anime, music groups, brands, and other gaming franchises. The collection of in-game events spans both Blizzard's own projects and major partnerships with international media giants.
The most fruitful partnership proved to be the collaboration with the K-pop group LE SSERAFIM, which has already taken place in three waves (in October 2023, March 2025, and September 2026) and was highlighted by a live concert at BlizzCon. Additionally, the music direction was expanded by a collaboration with the Japanese duo YOASOBI in June 2026.
Among gaming and in-house crossovers, Overwatch regularly receives content from the World of Warcraft and Diablo IV universes, as well as from other well-known titles: Street Fighter 6, Persona 5, Naraka Bladepoint, and NieR Automata. The anime segment is represented by One-Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, My Hero Academia, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Gundam Wing, released in honor of the franchise's 30th anniversary.
Main crossover waves of 2026:
- January — March: Naraka Bladepoint, Hello Kitty and Friends, NieR Automata (featuring 2B Kiriko and 9S Wuyang skins).
- April — June: Diablo IV (return wave), Loverwatch, and YOASOBI.
- July — September: expansion of World of Warcraft collections and the third wave of LE SSERAFIM.
In addition to striking cosmetic skins for heroes and weapons, all crossover events traditionally include extra cosmetic items: name cards, sprays, weapon charms, souvenirs, and player titles.
