In 2023, Blizzard opened up Overwatch<\/em>\u2019s world for third-party collaborations. The first was a set of skins and other cosmetics based on the anime\/manga One-Punch Man<\/em><\/span>, which naturally turned Overwatch<\/em>\u2019s own \u201cone-punch man,\u201d Doomfist, into the titular hero with a new skin. The cape is luxurious, but he\u2019s not the only hero who got to cosplay during the event. Soldier: 76 gets to ride a bike as Mumen Rider, Kiriko\u2019s green wig is wigging as the Terrible Tornado, and Overwatch<\/em>\u2019s resident cyborg Genji naturally becomes One-Punch Man<\/em>\u2019s cyborg Genos.<\/p>\n

Looking back, the collaboration was strange because One Punch Man <\/em>hasn\u2019t really been doing much as of late, with the third season still in development and the last one having come out in 2019. But there\u2019s a surprising amount of love shown in the skins, highlight intros, and other cosmetics, as silly as it is seeing Soldier: 76 pedaling like his life depends on it.<\/p>\n

The second big collaboration was with K-Pop girl group Le Sserafim, and it was an absolute banger of an event. Take my hand, walk with me. Have you heard the good word of Le Sserafim\u2019s catchy as hell bop \u201cPerfect Night\u201d? Have you basked in the glory of Tracer, Kiriko, Brigitte, D.Va, and Sombra geared up for a K-Pop concert<\/span>, serving some of the most glamorous skins Overwatch <\/em>has ever seen? And did you watch the music video<\/span>, in which all the previously mentioned girlies attend a Le Sserafim concert and use their various abilities to have their own perfect night? It ruled. I\u2019m still wearing the Sombra skin when I play her, and have no plans to take it off.<\/p>\n
