Overwatch 2 Season 3 Trailer Teases One-Punch Man Collab
Ready for a knockout? Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch 2 is taking its first steps into the realm of IP collaborations that Fortnite and other video games have laid the groundwork for, teasing an upcoming superpowered partnership with One-Punch Man that includes a Saitama skin for none other than Doomfist.
Overwatch 2‘s third content season is slated to begin on February 7, in which the yet-to-be-detailed One-Punch Man limited-time event will run from March 7 to April 6. The timing is certainly fitting, as a third anime season of the fan-favorite show is also on the way!

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.
