Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing collab. event to kick off later today
This year, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is celebrating its 30th Anniversary. As part of the celebrations, the series (which was the first to be aired on TV in the US) is getting a collab. event with none other than Overwatch 2.
This collab. event kicks off later today (technically, on April 30th in Oceania, Japan, and Asia) and runs until May 12th. It features Legendary Skins, free cosmetics, challenges, and more.
Here’s a trailer showing what you can expect from the event:
And here’s some details about the event itself:
Hailing from the space colonies of the future, heroic pilots and their mobile suits fought tyrannical forces, and sometimes each other, throughout a story of interstellar war and drama. Starting on April 29, you can take part in your own explosive battles in Overwatch 2 when you equip four new Legendary Skins inspired by these incredible mobile suits.
When you pick up one of the Gundam Wing collab hero bundles, it’ll feel like you’ve gotten your own special toy — like a Gunpla, just for you. Deathscythe Reaper will slash through the battlefield with little concern for whoever stands in his way. Epyon Ramattra will fight honorably and with unfaltering determination to end. You can join the ranks with Tallgeese Soldier: 76 and fight like a true soldier on the mechanized battlefield. Finally, you can outshine and outfly your adversaries with Wing Zero Mercy, whose design is inspired by the Wing Zero Custom mobile suit seen in the epic conclusion of the series, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.
Each of these skins comes with a bundle of other cosmetic goodies from the in-game shop. You can also pick up all four of these iconic Legendary skin bundles when you purchase the Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing Mega Bundle. Finally, jump into Overwatch 2 and complete new in-game challenges to earn free additional cosmetics, including the Gundamari weapon charm, to finish your Gundam collection. So don’t wait—the Gundams will arrive on Future Earth soon and the event runs from April 29 through May 12.
