Overwatch 2's Street Fighter Skins Are A Knockout
Briefly

Blizzard has introduced eight new skins in an Overwatch 2 collaboration with Street Fighter 6, now shown in an in-game trailer. While the new skins are visually appealing, there’s a concern regarding Overwatch’s reliance on collaborations for content. The author expresses love for the Overwatch universe but feels that frequent crossover events diminish its unique storytelling potential. Notably, the game has introduced a new Stadium mode, enhancing player engagement, but the overarching sentiment remains that more original content should be prioritized over external franchises.
Blizzard has revealed all eight skins for its Overwatch 2 x collaboration with Street Fighter 6, showcasing their design in a newly released trailer.
Despite my fondness for Overwatch's world, I'm frustrated that the game is leaning heavily on collaborations for new skins instead of exploring its own narrative.
The new Stadium mode in Overwatch 2 revitalizes gameplay, allowing players to develop their characters through a dynamic seven-round match.
While collaborations like this generate excitement, I feel that the essence of Overwatch's characters is overshadowed by frequent crossovers with other franchises.
