Overwatch 2 x World Of Warcraft 20th Anniversary

Sylvanas Windrunner Widowmaker embodies the cold precision in the dark arrows of the Banshee Queen herself, and Lich King Reinhardt wields the fearsome Frostmourne, ready to command the Scourge with his indomitable strength. Meanwhile, Thrall Zenyatta forges a new destiny for the Horde, and Diamond Magni Torbjorn fights for the good of Azeroth. These cosmetics come alive with cinematic-quality Plays of the Game—like when the stunning background from the Lich King cinematic during Reinhardt's Lich King Play of the Game brings Azeroth's fearsome ruler straight into Overwatch 2. And with nostalgic emotes inspired by World of Warcraft's NPC quest givers, these cosmetics allow Overwatch 2's heroes to deliver a true homage to the beloved World of Warcraft. Whether you're taking down opponents or just soaking in the majesty of these cosmetics, you'll feel the might of Azeroth in every battle.

Legendary skins, epic emotes, and more await those ready to celebrate these two gaming giants. Play September 17-30 and collect up to ten free rewards, including charms, sprays, icons, and name cards, solidifying your own place among heroes! Want to fully immerse yourself in this crossover? Don't miss out on the Mega Bundle, which includes all skins and cosmetics from this special collaboration. This is your chance to bring the power of Overwatch 2 and World of Warcraft together— for the Horde, the Alliance, and for Future Earth. This isn't the only anniversary we've got for you this season!
