Overwatch 2 Player Shows How Perfect a Spider-Verse Crossover Would Be

Highlights

• Overwatch 2 players have suggest perfect counterparts from Spider-Verse movies for their favorite heroes in a potential skin collaboration.
• A Reddit post sparked discussion on Miles Morales, Aaron Davis, Peni Parker, Jessica Drew, Gwendolyn Stacy, and Peter Parker as fitting skins for Overwatch 2 heroes.
• Collaboration between Spider-Verse and Overwatch 2 may not just be a dream as Blizzard is planning more crossovers in 2024.

A player has identified perfect counterparts from Spider-Verse movies for six Overwatch 2 Heroes: Lucio, Reaper, D.Va, Sojourn, Mercy, and Soldier: 76. With fans eagerly anticipating Blizzard’s plans for Overwatch 2 Season 11 and movie enthusiasts awaiting confirmation of Beyond the Spider-Verse’s release date, many gamers believe a collaboration between the two would be warmly received by both communities—and they are voicing their support.

Blizzard’s class-based multiplayer shooter has seen its fair share of collaborations, such as Overwatch 2’s crossover with Porsche in May. The game’s character designs have also gained popularity outside of gaming, like Tracer appearing in Ready Player One. However, players have long desired a more substantial collaboration with another franchise, one that could creatively reimagine beloved Heroes. This enthusiasm often drives players to imagine potential crossovers themselves, taking the initiative to identify perfect collaboration opportunities for developers.

A recent Reddit post on Overwatch’s subreddit has sparked discussion by proposing Miles Morales, Aaron Davis, Peni Parker, Jessica Drew, Gwendolyn Stacy, and Peter Parker as fitting skin counterparts for Lucio, Reaper, D.Va, Sojourn, Mercy, and Soldier: 76, respectively. The post includes collages comparing each movie character with their ideal in-game counterpart, prompting players to speculate on the potential impact of such a collaboration on prominent faces like Widowmaker and Mercy— especially given that Overwatch 2 reintroduction of Mercy’s pink skin has gamers excited.

Reddit user LockTheShop proposed the crossover idea, just before the much-anticipated reveal of Overwatch 2’s Season 11 roadmap. In their post, LockTheShop sought suggestions for better counterparts for Miles Morales. However, a glance at the comments shows that Overwatch 2 fans have already identified numerous potential skin crossover opportunities. For instance, one fan suggested a Peter Porker (Spider-Ham) skin for Roadhog, despite the size difference. Others think Widowmaker would make a compelling Spider-Woman (Gwen) due to their similar fan-favorite physiques and styles. More imaginative gamers have also put forward LYLA for Mei and Mary Jane Watson-Parker for Tracer, although the feasibility of these crossovers remains up for debate.

While a Spider-Verse and Overwatch 2 crossover may seem like wishful thinking rather than a potential event, fans of Blizzard’s online shooter shouldn’t lose hope for more collaborations in 2024. Following Overwatch 2’s successful crossover with One-Punch Man, Aimee Dennett, associate director of game product management at Blizzard, confirmed additional crossovers planned for 2024. This includes potential thematic skin reveals ahead of the game’s eleventh season.
