Blizzard leaks upcoming Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter collab
Ever since Marvel Rivals launched late last year – taking the hero shooter crown from Overwatch – the team at Blizzard seem to be finally putting their all into ensuring the once-great game remains a success in spite of its newly added competition. Following the massive drop of Season 16 a couple weeks ago, Blizzard looks set to keep hype up, having accidentally leaked some of their surprising plans for the mid-season refresh.
In what appears to have been an accidental early publishing to the PlayStation Network (archived by ResetEra user NeoRaider), Blizzard seems to have leaked some of their own plans for Overwatch Season 16’s mid-Season refresh, writing:
“Mid-season magic is alive. Keep battling in Stadium with a Street Fighter 6 collaboration and Dokiwatch Mythic Mercy Weapon Skin.”
Unfortunately, no images were shared of the collab, and so it is currently unknown how Street Fighter’s art style will translate into Overwatch.
Of course, this is far from the first crossover in Overwatch, with the game having previously collabed with the likes of One Punch Man; Diablo IV; Cowboy Bebop; My Hero Academia and World of Warcraft – to name some.
Even so, a crossover with Street Fighter of all games is an interesting choice. Hopefully we’ll hear more on this when Blizzard chooses to officially reveal Season 16’s second half.
KitGuru says: What do you think of this leak? How do you think the crossover will work? What video game series would you like to see Overwatch collab with? Let us know down below.
