Summary
Overwatch 2’s recently announced collaboration with Japan’s RED Tokyo Tower digital theme park has spawned some new hero looks fans are hoping get brought into the game. Currently,Overwatch 2fans are enjoying Season 12’s Egyptian mythology battle pass theme, which added a Mythic skin for Reaper, as well as new skins for heroes like Doomfist and Illari. Disappointingly, Egyptian heroes Ana and Pharah were left off the battle pass, but received new cosmetics inOverwatch 2’s in-game shop.
Last week,Overwatch 2announced a peculiar collaboration with Tokyo, Japan’s digital theme park, RED Tokyo Tower. This IRL event is looking to bring a host ofOverwatch 2merchandise to Tokyo Tower mainly featuring the game’s popular Japanese heroes Hanzo, Genji, and Kiriko. Collectibles include T-Shirts, buttons, posters, desk mats, and an assortment of other types of fun items for fans to purchase or win as part of the event. Interestingly, unlike othercrossoversOverwatch 2has done, such as the LE SSERAFIM or Porche collabs, this RED Tokyo Tower event won’t result in any new items or skins being added to the game.
Overwatch 2fans have caught a glimpse of a set of postcards participants of the RED Tokyo Tower event can buy which feature Cassidy, Tracer, D.Va, Kiriko, and Lucio decked out in stylish modern streetwear. These new looks give D.Va, Tracer, and Kiriko cool new jackets, Lucio a large white hoodie and oversized shorts, and Cassidy a casual black and brown outfit. Naturally,fans of theseOverwatchheroeson Reddit believe these looks would make excellent skins in the game, and are hoping Blizzard adds them at some point soon.
Overwatch 2 Fans Want RED Tokyo Tower Outfits As In-Game Skins
Some details of thesestylishOverwatchoutfitssuggest they may never make their way into the actual game as skins. For one, Lucio’s look does away with his iconic skates and puts him in a pair of normal shoes instead. As for D.Va, Tracer, and Kiriko, their new looks, specifically their color patterns, are so similar to their baseOverwatch 2skins that it’s hard to imagine Blizzard adding them to the game. Even so, these skins would undoubtedly be hits for the fans of these heroes. Though nothing in the RED Tokyo Tower collaboration suggests it, it’s still possible that Blizzard could be planning to add these outfits to the game at some point in the future.
Overwatch 2’s RED Tokyo Tower event isn’t the only collab it has going on, as itsWorld of Warcraftcrossover is set to go live this week. Celebrating the20th anniversary ofWorld of Warcraft,the event is set to bring several new skins toOverwatch 2,including Lich King Reinhardt, Sylvanas Windrunner Widowmaker, Thrall Zenyatta, and more.
