Blizzard Entertainment is gearing up for another exciting crossover in Overwatch 2, this time teaming up with the iconic Transformers franchise. The much-anticipated Transformers crossover will officially launch on July 9, introducing new skins inspired by fan-favorite Transformers characters. This event will mark the culmination of the current season and the beginning of the Summer Games 2024. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming crossover and what to expect from Season 11.
Transformers Crossover Event Details
Blizzard released a new comic strip on July 6 that teases four unique Transformers-themed skins. The comic hints at a Megatron-themed skin for Ramattra, sparking excitement among players. The skins are inspired by classic Transformers characters, including Megatron, Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee. However, the comic leaves fans guessing which Overwatch 2 heroes will receive the remaining skins.
The Transformers crossover will coincide with the launch of the Summer Games 2024, adding a festive touch to the event. Players can look forward to earning rewards and diving into the new content starting July 9. For a sneak peek, check out the official PlayOverwatch tweet here.
Season 11 Content and Updates
Season 11 of Overwatch 2, which launched on June 20, brought a slew of updates, including new maps and hero balance adjustments. The season introduced a limited-time celebration where players can earn rewards by participating in matches, such as the Aztec Sombra skin. Additionally, Blizzard reintroduced the Pink Mercy skin, with all proceeds directed towards breast cancer research, showing the company's ongoing commitment to charitable causes.
Despite the excitement surrounding the Transformers crossover, some players have expressed a sense of missed potential. With several heroes receiving Power Rangers-esque skins in this season's battle pass, many fans wonder why the latest crossover is with Transformers instead of Power Rangers. Nevertheless, the new season and the crossover event promise to keep the community engaged and entertained.
Community Reactions and Speculations
The Overwatch 2 community is abuzz with speculation about the upcoming skins. The teaser comic confirmed the Megatron skin for Ramattra, but fans are eager to see which heroes will don the skins inspired by Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee. The community is actively discussing and guessing which hero will best suit each skin.
In another interesting development, a fan recently noticed a small detail in the new Ultrawatch skin for the hero Cassidy. Instead of his usual cigar, the skin features a design that resembles a shotgun shell. This quirky addition has sparked speculative and humorous discussions among players, with some comparing the red and gold cigar to a battery.
