An imaginative Overwatch 2 player has created crossover artwork that shows Juno from the shooter game together with the Xenomorph from the Alien movies. While Juno is one of the playable heroes available in Overwatch 2, the Xenomorph is the primary antagonist in the Alien franchise.
Last month, Overwatch 2 received a new major update when Season 12 rolled out. It introduced a bunch of new additions and a new support hero called Juno into the FPS title. In a short time, Juno appears to have quickly grown in popularity among Overwatch players, with a few of them reimagining her in their own unique ways. One recent example involves fan art that pits the new hero against one of the more notable villains in science fiction.
On Reddit, user Fragrant-Secret-6839 shared their Overwatch 2 Alien crossover artwork, bringing together Juno and the Xenomorph in an intriguing manner. The art depicts a scared Juno taking cover, with her Mediblaster equipped, as a fearsome Xenomorph walks close to her. Moreover, the image shows the creature extending its inner jaw, ready to pounce, in an iconic action that Alien fans have seen many times over the years.
Fan Art Merges the Worlds of Overwatch 2 and Alien Together
Through their art, the player unites Overwatch 2‘s Martian hero Juno with a fellow extraterrestrial being, the Xenomorph from the Alien films, in a curious new scenario. This particular portrayal of these characters together highlights the tense nature of a hypothetical encounter between the two. Several other Overwatch 2 players on Reddit praised the fan art. One of them said, “This would be such a cool crossover, and the art is fantastic.” Another player noted the potential of such a crossover, saying they want a new game mode where the player needs to “destroy Xenomorph hives around the world.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Juno has been featured in an Overwatch 2 fan creation crossover. In fact, she has emerged as a popular subject for players to stretch their creativity. Earlier, another player reimagined Juno in the look of Looney Tunes‘s Marvin the Martian. Given the support hero continues to grab the attention of artistic players, the stream of Juno fan art doesn’t look like it will run dry anytime soon.
Although the collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Alien shown in the fan art isn’t official, there is a different franchise that the hero shooter game is officially crossing over with. On September 17, fans will be able to get their hands on new World of Warcraft skins in Overwatch 2. It will likely also inspire unique fan art.
