My Hero Academia is coming to Overwatch 2 in October
The teaser features five of the playable heroes in skins of some of the most recognizable characters in the anime, including:
These skins will be available through the shop during the collaboration period, similar to how previous crossovers have worked in the game. It’s not yet known how much each skin will cost, but as confirmed in theofficial postby Blizzard, you will be able to buy each legendary skin individually or as a set, the Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia Mega Bundle. This bundle will include additional cosmetics, as well.
If you don’t want to spend any money but still get in on the fun, you may earn five sprays and a charm through regular gameplay. We don’t know the exact requirements for unlocking these yet. However, we do know you won’t need to purchase anything, which is always a win.
My Hero Academiaofficially concluded its manga with Chapter 430 in early August. While the anime hasn’t officially concluded yet, there isn’t any info about a Season 8, so this has left fans with a big void to fill. The collaboration withOverwatch 2might be able to fill some of it.
Overwatch 2, on the other hand, is still going strong, currently runningSeason 12with aWorld of Warcrafttheme. The collaboration will coincide with the release of Season 13, which will run the entire duration of the collab and likely beyond. While we don’t know much about Season 13 yet, the MHA collaboration is a great piece of news for anime fans and cosmetics completionists.
Overwatch 2has plenty of great skins on its own, but it’s always great to see the game working with other iconic franchises to create some truly impressive cosmetics.
