Following the deployment of Overwatch 2‘s third content season on February 7, developer Blizzard Entertainment put another piece of the upcoming One-Punch Man collab event in our sights today with the reveal of an earnable Mumen Rider legendary skin for Soldier: 76, alongside other season details.

 

 

A video showing off the Saitama Doomfist skin in action was also released on the game’s official Twitter account.

 

 

The limited-time event is scheduled to run from March 7 to April 6.

In an interview with Japanese news outlet GameSpark, Blizzard Entertainment vice president Jon Spector and art director Dion Rogers stated that the strong overlap between Overwatch 2 players and anime fans made them look for such titles with “exciting game-compatible elements” that would connect with domestic and international audiences, and One-Punch Man was greatly welcomed by the development team.

 

More information about the collaboration will be announced at a later date, including the reveal of additional skins as shop items, voice lines and related challenges. Spector did clarify, sadly, that Doomfist won’t be able to one-shot enemies while dressed as Saitama.

 

And don’t forget: a third anime season of the fan-favorite One-Punch Man anime is also on the way!
