Overwatch 2 and Street Fighter 6 Link Up for a Major Collab Event
Blizzard Entertainment and Capcom have officially confirmed an electrifying Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 collaboration, announced at Evo Japan 2025. Set to launch on May 20 as part of Overwatch 2’s Season 16 mid-season update, this crossover brings eight iconic Street Fighter 6 characters to Blizzard’s hero shooter through vibrant skins in the new Stadium mode, igniting excitement across both gaming communities. The announcement follows a PlayStation Store leak earlier this week, which teased the event and a Dokiwatch Mythic Mercy Weapon Skin.

The collaboration introduces seven legendary skins, blending Street Fighter 6’s bold aesthetic with Overwatch 2’s dynamic heroes: Ryu as Hanzo, Chun-Li as Juno, Cammy as Widowmaker, Juri as Kiriko, Guile as Soldier: 76, M. Bison as Sigma, Blanka as Winston, and Dhalsim as Zenyatta. A trailer showcases these skins, highlighting their detailed designs, from Chun-Li’s iconic look on Juno to Sigma’s menacing M. Bison flair. The event, expected to run for at least two weeks, will likely feature themed cosmetics, challenges, and rewards, following Blizzard’s crossover format. Though, of course, fans can also anticipate purchasing skins in the in-game store, with potential free rewards like charms or emotes for completing challenges.
This marks Overwatch 2’s latest high-profile crossover, following partnerships with One-Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, and LE SSERAFIM. While details on Street Fighter 6’s side of the collab remain unclear, the focus on Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode promises a thrilling fusion of two gaming titans. Fans eagerly await May 20 to dive into this knockout event.
