After a temporary tease on the finish of its most up-to-date trailer, Overwatch 2 has lastly revealed the specifics of its Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration. The occasion consists of six skins for various heroes based mostly on characters from the beloved animated sequence, however most significantly, it offers one hero who has traditionally been underserved an honest-to-god legendary pores and skin. However, it couldn’t cease Blizzard from enjoying favorites with Kiriko as soon as extra.
The Avatar occasion begins on December 17, however Blizzard has launched photographs and an animated trailer for the crossover that reveals off all six characters who’re about to dress up in cosplay. I’m typically over Overwatch 2’s collabs as a result of it looks like they’re the one factor that Blizzard actually does with this sport anymore, however I’ll tuck it for Venture, the non-binary, dig-based hero who has been getting a complete lot of nothing within the beauty division since becoming a member of the sport in season 10. Venture is dressed up as Toph, an earthbender who manipulates stone. This is likely one of the most closely fits within the collaboration, since Venture’s package is all about digging to get across the map. Other skins embrace Zenyatta as Aang, the titular avatar, Mei as Katar, Orisa as Appa, Genji as Zuko, and Kiriko as Suki.
We nonetheless haven’t seen them in movement within the sport itself, however Blizzard did launch an animated trailer that emulates the visible fashion of Avatar and its sequel sequence The Legend of Korra. There’s a short static clip of Zenyatta and Orisa of their respective skins on the finish, however it’s principally simply them hanging a pose.
Overwatch 2 simply started its 14th season, which incorporates Hazard, the brand new tank hero, bringing the roster to 42 characters in complete. All of this lands simply after the arrival of Marvel Rivals, which is extraordinarily by-product of Overwatch, but additionally simply chaotic sufficient to really feel contemporary. It’s been some time since Overwatch 2 had a direct competitor, so we’ll see if and the way that prompts Blizzard to shake issues up sooner or later.
