Overwatch 2 Hints at Possible Gundam Wing Crossover—Here’s What We Know

Overwatch 2 players might soon see their favorite heroes suit up like mobile pilots, as hints from Blizzard suggest a potential Gundam Wing crossover.

It all started when the official Overwatch social media account responded to the 30th anniversary announcement of Gundam Wing. Rather than just offering a simple congratulations, Blizzard added a teasing comment—complete with the infamous "eyes-peeking-through-bushes" emoji. Naturally, fans immediately started speculating about a possible collaboration.

Leaked Materials Add Fuel to the Fire

The speculation doesn’t stop there. Overwatch content creator Ska’Vorah shared leaked materials that reportedly feature the Gundam Wing logo and Blizzard branding.

Among the leaks? Concept art for a Genji skin inspired by Zechs Merquise's signature red uniform.

If true, this would mark another major anime crossover for Overwatch 2, following past collaborations with My Hero Academia and Cowboy Bebop.

Why This Timing Makes Sense

The timing lines up almost too perfectly. Gundam Wing first aired in Japan on April 7, 1995, meaning its 30th anniversary is just days away. The anime later became a massive hit in the U.S. after airing in March 2000, bringing Gundam into the mainstream for many Western fans.

Meanwhile, Overwatch 2’s Season 16 update is set to launch on April 22. If Blizzard is indeed planning a collaboration, an announcement on April 7—Gundam Wing’s official anniversary—would be the perfect time to reveal it.

Even without Gundam mobile suits, Season 16 promises significant additions to Overwatch 2. Players can expect Freja, a new damage hero described as highly mobile with bounty-hunting abilities. The update will also introduce "Stadium," a new game mode featuring third-person camera options and expanded ability customization.

Blizzard Entertainment hasn't officially confirmed the collaboration yet, leaving fans to watch social media closely for announcements. The most likely reveal date would be April 7.
