Overwatch 2’s Street Fighter 6 collab doesn’t disappoint (unless you wanted a free skin)
Blizzard Entertainment and Capcom showed off the first in-game look at this week’s Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 collaboration, and if you’re a fan of either property, steel yourself for an incoming hadouken on your Overwatch Coins balance. And if you’ve been waiting to see Kiriko on her bike, the Street Fighter 6 collab has finally made that possible, thanks to Juri’s motorcycle appearing in a new Kiriko highlight intro.
Overwatch 2’s crossover with Street Fighter 6 was partially revealed last week, confirming perfectly cast cosplay options for Hanzo as Ryu and Zenyatta as Dhalsim. But an in-game look at all eight Overwatch heroes dressed up as Street Fighter mainstays shows that Widowmaker as Cammy and Winston as Blanka look better than they may have sounded on paper.
The full list of Overwatch 2 characters getting Street Fighter 6 skins on Tuesday is:
Blizzard said Monday it will sell all eight collab skins as part of a Street Fighter 6 Ultra Bundle, and in two separate Mega Bundles. Overwatch 2’s Street Fighter 6 Mega Bundle 1 features Legendary Juno as Chun-Li, Hanzo as Ryu, Zenyatta as Dhalsim and Sigma as M. Bison (Dictator). The Street Fighter 6 Mega Bundle 2 includes Kiriko as Juri, Widowmaker as Cammy, Winston as Blanka, and Soldier: 76 as Guile. All fighters will also be sold individually.
The only free things Overwatch 2 players will get during the collab — which runs May 20 through June 2 — are 40,000 XP, themed sprays, voice lines, and the “Street Fighter” player title that can be earned by completing in-game challenges.
