Overwatch 2 has dropped a fresh trailer, unveiling a complimentary Legendary skin for Junkrat, introducing a new game mode, and delivering additional content for its crossover event with K-pop sensation LE SSERAFIM. In an unexpected fusion of genres, Blizzard's hero shooter, Overwatch 2, is welcoming one of the newest K-pop stars to its roster.

This month, Overwatch 2 marked the beginning of its seventh season with a slew of treats for its player base. Among the highlights are the newly introduced Samoa Control map and Sombra's overhaul, although Roadhog enthusiasts will have to exercise patience for his own revamp. Blizzard has also initiated a crossover between Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, bringing thematic content such as a fresh mode and skins inspired by the action RPG. Following the success of this game crossover, Blizzard is set to unveil more enticing features for Overwatch 2 gamers.

Overwatch 2 Trailer Reveals Gratis Legendary Skin for Junkrat

In a recent trailer, Overwatch 2 showcases Junkrat's brand-new Legendary skin and provides a glimpse of the additional content available through the collaboration with K-pop sensation LE SSERAFIM. The event is scheduled to kick off on November 1, and players can anticipate obtaining the Fawksey James skin for Junkrat, potentially through completing in-game challenges. In this striking makeover, the hero sports a fresh haircut, dons gray attire, and sports a beanie with pink accents. Besides the complimentary Legendary Junkrat skin, the shooter will also introduce new Legendary skins for popular characters like Tracer, D.Va, Brigitte, and Kiriko as part of this remarkable crossover event. In contrast to their regular combat attire, the LE SSERAFIM skins will transform these heroines into devoted K-pop fans, decked out in attire bearing the group's name and "Fearless," the title of the artists' debut album. As for the cost of these skins, Blizzard has yet to reveal the details.

Accompanying the complimentary Junkrat skin and a sneak peek at the skins for Tracer, D.Va, Brigitte, Kiriko, and Sombra, the new trailer unveiled five dance emotes that will be accessible throughout the event. The Overwatch 2 x LE SSERAFIM collaboration also introduces a novel limited-time game mode known as "Concert Clash." In this engaging 3v3 mode, participants will partake in exhilarating capture-the-flag battles while enjoying the music video for "Perfect Night" on screens within the arena. Players of Overwatch 2 can look forward to more interactions with the LE SSERAFIM members, as the group is slated to perform at BlizzCon 2023, presenting their single "Perfect Night."

LE SSERAFIM is a five-member musical sensation that made their debut in 2022 and has since gained recognition for their chart-topping tracks, including "ANTIFRAGILE," "FEARLESS," and "Sour Grapes." This collaboration represents a strategic move by Blizzard to capture the attention of devoted K-pop fans, renowned for their unwavering loyalty to their favorite groups, and introduce them to the world of Overwatch 2. Furthermore, it expands Overwatch 2's horizons into the realm of music, promising a multitude of exciting crossovers on the horizon.
