Overwatch 2 Is Getting G.I. Joe Costumes In July
Last year, the heroes of Overwatch 2 took on a few Transformers-inspired costumes as part of a collaboration between Blizzard and Hasbro. Now, the two companies are reteaming for an Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe collaboration that's coming next month. As seen in the preview trailer below, iconic Joe heroes including Snake-Eyes and Scarlett and will be joined by Cobra Commander, Destro, and the Baroness from Cobra.
Per Overwatch 2's official site, these are the characters getting either G.I. Joe or Cobra-style costume makeovers:
- Genji as Snake Eyes: The elite G.I. Joe operative, a silent blade with unmatched discipline. Deadly, sworn to the mission, never misses.
- Freja as Scarlett: G.I. Joe’s counterintelligence extraordinaire. The sharpest mind in the room, backed by tactical accuracy and firepower. Crossbow locked. Field-ready. Strategic genius with a mean uppercut.
- Widowmaker as Baroness: Striking for Cobra with brains, bullets, and betrayal, this femme fatale is lethal. Cold, calculated, always in control and couture.
- Reaper as Cobra Commander: Unhinged ambition in a chilling new form, schemes sharpened by madness. The face of terror. The voice of chaos. Commands Cobra.
- Doomfist as Destro: Not just muscle for Cobra, but a mastermind in metal, made of profits, power, and pure strength. Brawler. Steel-plated menace. Built for punching.
Players can also earn signature voice lines, a weapon charm, and sprays inspired by G.I. Joe by completing special in-game special ops challenges in either Quick Play, Competitive, or Stadium. The Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe collaboration begins on July 1 and ends on July 14.
In the meantime, Overwatch Season 17 has arrived with Mythic skins for D.Va and Reaper. The update also added map voting to Quick Play and Competitive so players can have a voice about where their battle unfolds.
Some of Overwatch 2's previous collaborations with Street Fighter and Avatar: The Last Airbender, but those costumes and prizes are gone except for players who purchased or earned them during the collaborations' active period.
