Overwatch 2, Blizzard’s popular hero shooter, is set to immerse players in a thrilling collaborative event with the sensational K-pop group, LE SSERAFIM. This exciting event comes complete with a range of enticing features, including a free Legendary skin for Junkrat, an innovative game mode, and much more.
The seventh season of Overwatch 2 began this month, bringing a plethora of exciting content for its devoted player base. Among the highlights are the introduction of the new Samoa Control map and the rework of the enigmatic hacker, Sombra. However, fans eagerly awaiting Roadhog’s revamp will need to exercise a bit more patience. Notably, Blizzard recently orchestrated a crossover between two of its iconic games, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, featuring a plethora of themed content, including a new game mode and skins inspired by the action RPG.
Overwatch 2 has now dropped a new trailer, providing a sneak peek at the forthcoming collaboration event with K-pop sensations, LE SSERAFIM. This event is slated to commence on November 1, offering players a coveted Fawksey James skin for Junkrat. It’s presumed that this unique skin may be earned through completing in-game challenges. Junkrat’s stylish makeover features a new haircut, gray attire, and a beanie adorned with pink accents.
In addition to the much-anticipated Junkrat skin, Overwatch 2 is set to introduce new Legendary skins for fan-favorite heroes, including Tracer, D.Va, Brigette, and Kiriko, all as part of this sensational crossover event. These LE SSERAFIM-themed skins transform the heroines into fervent K-pop enthusiasts, donning attire adorned with the group’s name and the title of their debut album, “Fearless.” The pricing details for these skins have yet to be disclosed.
The latest trailer also revealed five engaging dance emotes that will become available during the event, promising hours of dance-filled fun for Overwatch 2 enthusiasts. The collaboration event, known as “Concert Clash,” introduces a new limited-time mode in which players engage in 3v3 capture-the-flag battles, all while the music video for “Perfect Night” by LE SSERAFIM plays on screens within the arena. Moreover, fans of Overwatch 2 can look forward to a live performance by LE SSERAFIM at Blizzcon 2023, where the K-pop sensations will showcase their hit single, “Perfect Night.”
LE SSERAFIM, a five-member K-pop sensation that made their debut in 2022, has rapidly gained popularity with hits like “ANTIFRAGILE,” “FEARLESS,” and “Sour Grapes.” This collaboration with LE SSERAFIM represents a strategic move by Blizzard to capture the attention of K-pop enthusiasts, known for their unwavering loyalty to their favorite groups. It also opens the door to exciting future crossovers for Overwatch 2, expanding the game’s horizons into the vibrant world of music.
