Blizzard Entertainment has released a new comic strip for Overwatch 2 that hints at upcoming Transformers-inspired skins. Since its release in October 2022, Overwatch 2 has expanded its universe with new heroes and several high-profile collaborations. The latest collaboration event introduces character skins that are inspired by the characters from the Transformers franchise, marking another fusion of popular culture with the game’s hero roster.

Overwatch 2 players are now waiting for July 9 as it marks the launch of the Transformers crossover and the start of the Summer Games 2024, which will conclude the current season. After these events, on July 20, Season 11 will launch with several new maps, adjustments to hero balance, and the return of events such as Lucioball. On top of that, Blizzard is reintroducing the Pink Mercy skin, with all proceeds from this initiative directed towards breast cancer research.

The promotional comic released by Blizzard on July 6 teases four unique Transformers-themed skins, resembling familiar characters such as Megatron, Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee. The comic confirms ties between Ramattra and Megatron, which in turn teases that the hero Ramattra will get a skin inspired by Megatron. However, which Overwatch 2 heroes will receive skins inspired by the other three Transformers remains undisclosed. The Overwatch 2 community is now speculating about which hero best suits which of the teased skins.

Overwatch 2 Players Are Now Dissecting Season 11 Content

In a recent development, a fan brought attention to a small detail in the new Ultrawatch skin for the Overwatch 2 hero Cassidy. Instead of his usual cigar, the skin features a design that resembles a shotgun shell, adding new aesthetics to Cassidy’s gunslinger theme. This detail has also encouraged speculative discussions among players, with many of them joking around by comparing the red and gold cigar to a battery.

Though fans are quite excited about the Transformers crossover and the new season, there’s a sense of missed potential regarding Overwatch 2‘s Season 11. Several heroes are getting Power Rangers-esque skins in the upcoming season, leaving many fans to wonder why Overwatch 2′s latest crossover is with Transformers instead of Power Rangers.

Overwatch 2 Season 11 will introduce new content updates that will significantly enhance the gameplay and its aesthetics. The anticipated July 20 release will add new and reworked maps along with a bunch of new skins. These continuous updates and new content ensure continued engagement from both new and veteran players in Overwatch 2.
