Overwatch 2 Gundam Wing Skins Leaked Ahead of Release

Overwatch 2 will have Gundam Wing skins for heroes like Mercy, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 based on iconic mechs.

Overwatch 2‘s Gundam Wing skins have leaked ahead of launch, confirming which heroes will receive them and based on which mechs. The crossover between Overwatch 2 and Gundam Wing will be available soon, bringing another collaboration inspired by an iconic anime.

Overwatch 2 crossed over with One-Punch Man in 2023 and released skins based on the anime that follow the adventures of Saitama, the strongest man in the world. In 2024, Cowboy Bebop skins were added to the game, bringing cosmetics based on the acclaimed 90s anime that follows a group of space bounty hunters. In the same year, My Hero Academia skins debuted in Overwatch 2, with players getting looks based on the popular shonen anime that follows Deku and his friends in their fight against villains. The fourth collaboration with an anime is on the way, and a new leak has revealed what to expect from it.

On Reddit, user -Elixo- shared images of the Gundam Wing skins that Overwatch 2 will release. Mercy had her skin confirmed, but it has now been revealed that it will be based on XXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero, while Soldier: 76 will be OZ-00MS Tallgeese. Reaper will get a skin based on the XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe, and Ramattra’s skin will be based on the OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon. Although not officially announced, the skins confirm an Overwatch 2 leak shared previously that pointed to the quartet as the heroes to get the new cosmetics.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is a single-season anime with 49 episodes originally released in 1995. The first anime in the Gundam series to be shown on American television, it is the successor to Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Its story shows the plans of five scientists to take revenge for the oppression suffered by the OZ organization, in an operation that involves recruiting five young boys to pilot extremely advanced Mobile Suits. Among the main mechas in the anime is Wing Zero, piloted by Heero Yuy, while Deathscythe’s pilot is Duo Maxwell. Tallgeese’s primary pilot is Zechs Merquise, who would later command the Epyon, originally piloted by Yuy.

The collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Gundam Wing arrives on April 29. The prices of the skins, whether there will be bundles, or whether other items such as emotes and sprays will be released are currently unknown. While Blizzard hasn’t shared any more details, players can get other skins, such as the Dokiwatch, Overwatch 2‘s new skin series that turns Widowmaker, Kiriko, D.Va, and other heroes into magical girls.
