I never knew I yearned for an Overwatch 2 and Persona collaboration so much until I saw Joker's iconic silhouette at the end of a trailer for the evergreen hero shooter, and now, it might be the first ever crossover event that makes me break the bank.
Blizzard Entertainment today released a trailer for Overwatch 2: Season 18, which is kicking off on August 26. If you stick around until the very end, you'll see a really familiar shadow donning a face mask and pulling up their probably sweaty leather gloves.
The Overwatch 2 team hasn't said anything more about the imminent collaboration, but we know how this goes by now. After all, we've seen it play out with the shooter's Street Fighter, Diablo, K-pop, and anime collabs. A teaser is followed by a full trailer followed by a cosmetics bundle that makes Overwatch's iconic cast cosplay as similarly iconic characters.
I'm guessing Reinhardt will get the honour of dressing up as my beloved Ryuji since his big hammer can pretty easily just become a big bat. Sombra can safely be Futaba. They're both hackers, right? Mercy always gets a skin, so she'll likely call dibs on Ann. Haru and Juno share a voice actor, so there's that. Everyone else? Who knows? Though I'd be pretty excited to see Morgana piloting Hamster's weaponized exercise ball.
The fact that Persona 5 has collaborated with approximately 107 or so other games doesn't really dull the prospect of seeing Joker and Co. again since Overwatch's skins are, for the most part, pretty top tier across the board, even if I'm finally ready to move on to the next generation of Persona. (Please, Atlus.)
Elsewhere in the trailer, Blizzard announced that some more characters are being added to Overwatch's newest, third-person, buildcrafting mode, alongside fresh looks at Wuyang, the upcoming support character who's apparently not a sign of things to come in terms of character design.
