Blizzard recently showcased an exciting announcement during the 2024 Xbox Tokyo Game Show Broadcast, revealing that the beloved StarCraft series will be available on Game Pass. However, the buzz doesn’t stop there; Blizzard also unveiled a special Overwatch 2 collaboration with the popular anime series My Hero Academia, launching this October. Be sure to watch the trailer above.

This Mega Bundle features an array of heroes and villains from the anime, bringing Legendary Skins to the dynamic hero shooter. Players can expect to see Tracer transformed into Deku, Juno as Uravity, and Reinhardt embodying All Might among the heroes. On the darker side, there will also be two villain skins: Kiriko as Himiko Toga and Reaper as Tomura Shigaraki.

Blizzard describes this collaboration: “Each skin is designed to capture the essence of these beloved characters, giving players the opportunity to dominate the battlefield with their unique style and flair.”

“The quirky and colorful designs highlight the coolest aspects of these characters, allowing heroes, villains, and their ideas of justice to collide on the front lines,”Blizzard continues. “Whether you’re heroically battling as All Might Reinhardt or wreaking havoc as the villainous Shigaraki Reaper, each skin in this collection pays tribute to the power and determination of these iconic figures and worlds.”

The Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia collaboration is set to commence on October 17 and will continue until October 30. Players on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation will find these exciting skins available in the in-game shop. Additionally, a Mega Bundle featuring all skins and themed cosmetics will be offered for purchase, although the pricing for these additions has yet to be announced.

In conjunction with this, the seventh season of My Hero Academia is currently airing and this gaming bundle will debut shortly after the season finale on October 12.
