Article Summary

  • Overwatch 2 teams up with Street Fighter 6 in a special crossover event launching May 20, 2025.
  • Eight iconic Overwatch heroes get exclusive Street Fighter skins based on classic SF6 fighters.
  • Skins may include signature moves from their Street Fighter counterparts, not just visual changes.
  • Details on the full event are limited, but an official animated trailer teases epic in-game action.

Blizzard Entertainment and Capcom have come together for a special collaboration, as Overwatch 2 will be getting a visit from Street Fighter 6. The news dropped during EVO Japan this evening, as they will be taking fighters from the fighting game franchise and throwing them into the PvP first-person shooter. As you can see from the artwork and the trailer, you're getting eight specific skins as Hanzo will be Ryu, Juno becomes Chun-Li, Kiriko will be Juri, Widowmaker takes on the role of Cammy, Zenyatta will of course become Dhalsim, Soldier: 76 will transform into fellow soldier Guile, Winston transforms into Blanka, and Sigma becomes villain supreme M. Bison.

The finer details haven't been revealed, but based on the small piece of gameplay at the end of the trailer, it looks like it will be more than just skins. It looks like all eight characters will also incorporate moves from their respective fighters. Also, no word if this will be a two-way street with some Overwatch faces popping into the World Tour. For now, enjoy the animated trailer they made for this new collaboration as we wait for more details. The official launch of this collab will happen on May 20, 2025.
