Overwatch 2's Gundam Wing Skins Leak Ahead of Official Launch

Exciting news for Overwatch 2 fans: the highly anticipated Gundam Wing crossover skins have leaked ahead of their official reveal, confirming which heroes will receive new anime-inspired cosmetics and the mechs they’ll be based on. This marks another major collaboration between Overwatch 2 and a beloved anime franchise.

Overwatch 2's Growing List of Anime Collaborations

Overwatch 2 has embraced anime crossovers in recent years. In 2023, the game teamed up with One-Punch Man, introducing skins inspired by Saitama and other characters from the hit series. In 2024, collaborations with Cowboy Bebop and My Hero Academia followed, allowing players to suit up as iconic characters like Spike Spiegel, Deku, and more. Now, the game's fourth anime-themed crossover is set to bring the world of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing to Overwatch 2.

Which Heroes Are Getting Gundam Wing Skins?

According to a leak posted by Reddit user -Elixo-, the upcoming skins will be:

• Mercy as XXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero
• Soldier: 76 as OZ-00MS Tallgeese
• Reaper as XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe
• Ramattra as OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon

While Mercy’s Wing Gundam Zero skin had already been teased, this leak confirms the full lineup and matches earlier rumors about the event. Though Blizzard has yet to make an official announcement, the leak gives fans a clear look at what’s coming.

A Quick Look at Gundam Wing

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing first aired in 1995 and became the first Gundam series to reach American audiences. Set in a future where five young pilots are sent to Earth in powerful Mobile Suits to fight against the oppressive OZ organization, the anime quickly became a cult favorite. Key mechs include:

• Wing Zero, piloted by Heero Yuy
• Deathscythe, piloted by Duo Maxwell
• Tallgeese, piloted by Zechs Merquise
• Epyon, initially piloted by Heero Yuy after being handed down from Zechs

Each of these iconic mechas now finds its counterpart in Overwatch 2's roster through this collaboration.

Launch Date and Other Details

The Gundam Wing collaboration is set to go live on April 29. However, details such as skin pricing, potential bundles, and whether additional items like emotes or sprays will be included have not been officially disclosed yet.

Meanwhile, players can explore other fresh content in Overwatch 2, including the recently introduced Dokiwatch skin line, which transforms heroes like Widowmaker, Kiriko, and D.Va into magical girls.
