The highly anticipated Overwatch 2 collaboration with Gundam Wing officially kicks off today, April 29, adding iconic mecha anime representatives to Blizzard's heroic shooter. In celebration of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's 30th anniversary, Blizzard has transformed four beloved heroes into legendary mobile suits, available as exclusive skins, bundles, and special limited-time rewards.

New Legendary Skins Inspired by Gundam Wing

Players can now purchase four new legendary skins in the in-game store, each inspired by one of the most famous mobile suits from Gundam Wing. The lineup includes:

• Wing Gundam Zero Mercy — Mercy receives armor modeled after the Wing Zero Custom, complete with its signature wings.

• Deathscythe Reaper — Reaper adopts a terrifying look in the style of Gundam Deathscythe.

• Tallgeese Soldier: 76 — Soldier: 76 gets to don the legendary white and blue Tallgeese armor.

• Epyon Ramattra — Ramattra can try on the majestic and deadly design of the Epyon mobile suit.

Each skin can be purchased individually for 2800 Overwatch coins (approximately $28) or all together in the Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing Mega Bundle for 5900 coins ($59).

Additional Cosmetic Items and In-Game Challenges

In addition to the skins, players can complete new in-game challenges to unlock exclusive Gundam Wing-themed cosmetic rewards, including:

• Shinigami player title
• Zero System spray
• Gundamari weapon charm

These rewards are free and unlock simply by participating in matches during the event, giving fans even more reasons to dive into the world of Overwatch 2.

Development Insights and Design Choices

Blizzard's art team made special efforts to maintain a balance between the unique styles of Overwatch and Gundam Wing. In an interview, Art Director Dion Rogers and Associate Product Director Amy Dennett revealed that the team closely studied Gunpla models (Gundam model kits) to capture authentic details in the new skins.

While other hero and mobile suit pairings were considered in early stages — such as Ana as Tallgeese or Mauga as Heavyarms — the final choices were made to preserve the recognizable silhouettes and characters of Overwatch heroes.

Dennett also confirmed that the decision was made to base the skins on designs from the Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz film, rather than mixing styles from the series and its sequel.

Duration of the Collaboration Event and How to Obtain Gundam Wing Skins in Overwatch 2

The Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing event will run from April 29 to May 12, 2025. During these two weeks, players can acquire new legendary skins in the in-game store, complete challenges, and enjoy exclusive Gundam-themed content.
