Summary

  • Overwatch 2 fans creatively blend Minecraft and Overwatch 2 skins, sparking community excitement.
  • Fans have created imaginative skin concepts using characters like Pumbaa, Cruella de Vil, and Arcane's Jinx.
  • Despite no official Minecraft crossover plans, Overwatch 2 surprises with collaborations with Avatar: The Last Airbender and My Hero Academia.

An Overwatch 2 fan has i llustrated some striking Minecraft skin concepts that cleverly blend the two completely different titles. The Overwatch 2 community has a well-known creativity when it comes to creating skin concepts, and that inventiveness has only increased with the release of collaborations with other famous IPs.

As a result, fans of the Blizzard shooter began to imagine their dream crossovers such as Disney skins for Overwatch 2 heroes. That particular idea caught the community's attention by dressing Roadhog as Pumbaa from The Lion King and Moira as Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. Another fan concept that resonated with the community was an illustration that styled Sombra as Arcane's Jinx, fusing two characters known for their technological prowess.

Redditor manfartwish recently made waves among Overwatch 2 fans with their idea of skins based on Minecraft. They created six cosmetics including a reimagining of Brigitte and Illari as versions of Alex and Steve, donning pixelated Minecraft armor in a creative stylistic fusion. The customization extends to weapons, with Brigitte's shield bearing the image of a Creeper head, while Illari is equipped with Minecraft's iconic diamond sword. Ramattra has been transformed into the Warden, the powerful hostile mob players encounter when venturing into the deep dark biome.

Clever Skin Concept Creates Crossover Between Overwatch 2 and Minecraft

A particular favorite among fans was the skin concept for Moira, depicting the Talon scientist as an Enderman, one of the older creatures in Minecraft. Ashe, the leader of Overwatch 2's Deadlock gang, appears as the villager while BOB appears as the iron golem. Redditors praised the notion of combining two related characters in Blizzard's shooter and Minecraft–a clever correlation. Venture is portrayed as a cave spider, drawing a connection between two characters with similar backgrounds.

Despite fan enthusiasm, there is no indication that Blizzard has any plans for a crossover with Minecraft. Considering the popularity of the two franchises and the gradual expansion of Overwatch 2's collab skins, players will have to wait and see if a collaboration of this nature comes to fruition. After all, Overwatch 2 continues to surprise with its team-ups such as an unexpected partnership with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Released in December last year, Blizzard introduced six skins inspired by the beloved Nickelodeon animation. Before that, My Hero Academia skins dressed the game's heroes as characters from the popular shonen anime. All things considered, a Minecraft and Overwatch 2 collaboration is not entirely out of the question.
