A recent leak has stirred excitement among Overwatch 2 fans, suggesting that four heroes—Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76—will receive Gundam Wing-themed skins in an upcoming collaboration event. The crossover, set to launch on April 29, promises to blend the futuristic aesthetics of Gundam Wing with Overwatch 2's dynamic hero roster.

Season 16 of Overwatch 2, which began on April 22, introduced several major updates, including the debut of Freja, a new damage hero with a kit focused on mobility and precision. Additionally, the season features Stadium Mode, a competitive 5v5 format, and the long-awaited hero bans in ranked play. The Gundam Wing collaboration is one of the highlights of this season, though official details remain scarce.

Leaked Skin Details

According to Twitter user wiki_ow, the Gundam Wing skins will be awarded to Mercy, Ramattra, Reaper, and Soldier: 76. While the leak doesn't specify which Gundam Wing characters will inspire these skins, fans have already begun speculating. Some suggest Altrom or Talgeese for Ramattra, Deathscythe Hell or Sandrock for Reaper, and Wing Zero for Mercy. Soldier: 76 could potentially receive an RX-78-2 skin, paying homage to the iconic original Gundam.

Blizzard has already teased Mercy's participation in the event through the Season 16 trailer, though the exact design remains under wraps. The community has expressed mixed reactions, with some lamenting the absence of heroes like Echo, Pharah, and Mauga, who they believe would have been perfect fits for Gundam Wing's heavy-armored mechs.

What to Expect

While the leak is unconfirmed, the Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing event is expected to bring more than just skins. Players anticipate themed emotes, sprays, and possibly even a limited-time game mode. In the meantime, fans can engage in the Stadium: Initiation event to unlock exclusive cosmetics for Soldier: 76 and Juno, as well as the new Dokiwatch series skins for Mercy, Moira, and Widowmaker.
