Overwatch 2 is gearing up for an exciting collaboration with Gundam Wing, set to feature a fresh set of skins from April 29 to May 12. This event marks the 30th anniversary of the iconic anime series, bringing unique skins such as Wing Gundam Zero Mercy, Epyon Ramattra, Tallgeese Soldier: 76, and Deathscythe Reaper to players.
Recently, Overwatch 2 teased fans with this Gundam Wing partnership. While the Mercy skin was hinted at in Overwatch 2 Season 16’s trailer, enthusiasts could only guess which other characters would join the lineup.
As the event nears, the hero skins are finally confirmed. Players can grab these exciting cosmetics between April 29 and May 12. Available in shop bundles, each skin comes priced at 2800 Overwatch Coins, or snag all four in the Mega Bundle for 5900 Coins. Alongside the skins, players will enjoy Highlight Intros and other cosmetics, adding a new layer of excitement to the game.
Beyond the visual flair, the event introduces in-game challenges to earn exclusive Gundam Wing items like the Shinigami Player Title, Zero System Spray, and Gundamari Weapon Charm. These challenges will likely be completed through regular gameplay, providing an easy way for fans to earn extra Battle Pass XP and collectibles.
Interestingly, these skins were accurately predicted by leaks from a Twitter post by credible leaker wiki_ow and another leak showing Overwatch 2 Name Cards. With the official reveal, these predictions have been proven correct.
The collaboration’s trailer takes place on the fan-favorite Horizon Lunar Colony map. Although this beloved Assault map is currently limited to Custom Games, Overwatch 2’s new Stadium game mode has already revitalized locations like Paris. More maps are planned for future seasons, and fans might just see Horizon Lunar Colony return.
With this event, Overwatch 2 continues to innovate, offering players fresh content and a nostalgic nod to a cherished anime series.
