Overwatch 2 Street Fighter 6 Crossover Skins Launch May 20

Blizzard Entertainment has officially announced a unique collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Street Fighter 6, launching on May 20, 2025. Unveiled at EVO Japan, this crossover brings iconic character skins from Capcom’s legendary fighter into the hero-based shooter universe, creating one of the most stylistically ambitious events in Overwatch’s history.

From Hanzo taking on the look of Ryu to Sigma embodying the presence of M. Bison, this event isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a celebration of gaming legacy. Other hero transformations include Juno as Chun-Li, Kiriko as Juri, Widowmaker as Cammy, Soldier: 76 as Guile, Winston as Blanka, and Zenyatta channeling Dhalsim’s vibe.

What makes this event stand out is how surprisingly well these characters align with their Street Fighter counterparts—not just visually, but thematically. Blizzard clearly put effort into matching energy and identity, not just looks. For example, Sigma as M. Bison isn’t just a skin; it echoes control, power, and presence. These choices show a deep understanding of both franchises and offer fans more than surface-level fan service.

This crossover also represents Blizzard’s ongoing strategy to revitalize Overwatch 2 with fresh, culturally resonant content. Collaborations like this may not impact gameplay balance, but they inject excitement into the ecosystem—something the game needs as it navigates player expectations and live-service demands.

The collaboration event is set for a limited time, starting May 20. For fans of either franchise, it’s a perfect excuse to dive back in and appreciate a rare synergy between two genre giants.
