From September 16, players will be able to earn the Mala Mania Spray, Seeking Water’s Way Name Card, Panda Hugger Name Card, Happy Panda Charm, a standard Loot Box, and an Epic Loot Box. Unlocking all rewards requires watching Overwatch 2 streams on Twitch for a total of 13 hours before the campaign ends on October 8.

Coinciding with the Twitch Drops campaign, Overwatch 2 is also collaborating with Persona 5 to introduce five new legendary skins, available through the in-game shop starting September 16. Notably, one of the new legendary skins features Wuyang as Joker, one of the most beloved characters from the franchise. As a new hero, Wuyang is far behind the rest of the rosters when it comes to exclusive cosmetics, but these two events do much to help him bridge that gap.

September 16 also signals the conclusion of Overwatch 2’s Play Like Luka and the Summer Games 2025 events. Players have limited time to wrap up outstanding challenges and secure any unclaimed rewards before Blizzard closes the door on these seasonal events to make way for the next wave of content.
