Overwatch 2 Street Fighter collaboration skins
Eight heroes are part of the upcoming collaboration. The skins were revealed at EVO Japan on its opening day, and I’m already hyped about some of them.
My top three to watch out for will be Cammy (Widowmaker), Chun Li (Juno), and Ryu (Hanzo). These are my three favorite fighters from Street Fighter, but all eight skins look amazing based on the gameplay renders.
If you have playedStreet Fighter 6,you’ll know about mechanics like Drive Impact and Drive Rush. The special skins will have an added splash of in-game effects, which makes them different from other skins.
As of writing, we are uncertain how players will be able to obtain these skins. Chances are that at least some of them will be part of events that players will need to grind. A few might be exclusive to microtransactions as well, which could be a bit sad for the players.
Nevertheless, the upcoming collabs could usher in a lot of new players, with some of them from the fighting games universe. There will be detailed guides about how to unlock the skins once we have more information from Blizzard.
