Blizzard Entertainment has released a new comic strip for Overwatch 2, hinting at upcoming Transformers-inspired skins. Since its release in October 2022, Overwatch 2 has expanded its universe with new heroes and several high-profile collaborations. The latest event introduces character skins inspired by the Transformers franchise, marking another fusion of popular culture with the game’s hero roster.
Overwatch 2 players are eagerly awaiting July 9, which marks the launch of the Transformers crossover and the start of the Summer Games 2024, concluding the current season. Season 11, launched on June 20, brought new maps, hero balance adjustments, and a limited-time celebration where players can earn rewards, such as the Aztec Sombra skin. Additionally, Blizzard has reintroduced the Pink Mercy skin, with all proceeds directed towards breast cancer research.
The promotional comic released on July 6 teases four unique Transformers-themed skins, resembling characters like Megatron, Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee. The comic reveals a connection between Ramattra and Megatron, hinting that Ramattra will receive a Megatron-inspired skin. However, the heroes who will get the other three Transformers-inspired skins remain undisclosed, sparking speculation among the Overwatch 2 community.
In related news, a fan recently noticed a small detail in the new Ultrawatch skin for Cassidy. Instead of his usual cigar, the skin features a design resembling a shotgun shell, adding a new aesthetic to Cassidy's gunslinger theme. This detail has sparked speculative discussions among players, with some humorously comparing the red and gold cigar to a battery.
While fans are excited about the Transformers crossover and the new season, some feel there was missed potential with Overwatch 2's Season 11. Several heroes received Power Rangers-esque skins in the battle pass, leading many to wonder why the crossover is with Transformers instead of Power Rangers.
Overwatch 2 Season 11 has introduced significant content updates, enhancing gameplay and aesthetics. The new season includes reworked maps and new skins, ensuring continued engagement from both new and veteran players.
