OVERWATCH 2'S LATEST COLLABORATION IS WITH THE LEGENDARY STREET FIGHTER FRANCHISE FROM CAPCOM, AND INCLUDES NEW SKINS AND SOME FREE XP TO EARN—HERE'S ALL WE KNOW SO FAR 10:54, 20

May 2025 Overwatch 2’s new Stadium mode has reinvigorated the hero shooter, and when we spoke to Game Director Aaron Keller he told us "now is the time to jump on" — and many of

you. The mode was so popular it got its own roadmap, and if you've been paying attention to the game since then you'll know Blizzard is preparing something special today. Following

the success of tie-ins with One Punch Man, Transformers, Avatar, and more, Blizzard's latest crossover is with Capcom's Street Fighter franchise, and will see a series of skins

hit the shop for purchase. Here's all we know about the Street Fighter collaboration, including when it arrives. OVERWATCH 2 STREET FIGHTER START TIME AND WHAT TO EXPECT The Overwatch 2

Street Fighter event will run from May 20 to June 2, meaning you've got a while to purchase the items you want. Article continues below As for start time, Overwatch 2 events tend to

kick off around 5pm BST, so expect to be able to spend your hard-earned coins tonight. WHAT TO EXPECT, INCLUDING SKINS The update will bring a series of 8 skins for the Overwatch cast, which

you can see above, and are available individually or in two bundles. Mega Bundle 1 includes Juno as Chun-Li, Hanzo as Ryu, Zenyatta as Dhalsim, and Sigma as M. Bison, while the second Mega

Bundle includes Kiriko as Juri, Widowmaker as Cammy, Winston as Blanka and Soldier 76 as Guile. We still can't see why Hanzo was made into Ryu, given one is deadly with a bow and one is

a brawler, but we'll let it slide because it looks great. "All fighters will also be available individually so no matter which bundle or skin you pick, you’ll find something that

fits," Blizzard's blog post explains. Article continues below There are free items to earn, too, but we'll admit they're not quite as flashy as the skins. There are

exclusive themed sprays, voice lines, and a player title of, you guessed it, 'Street Fighter' up for grabs via challenges. Players can also earn 40,000 XP towards the current

battle pass, which could net you some handy lootboxes. _FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS AND STORIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE FROM THE DAILY STAR, SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERS._
