Avatar Overwatch 2 Trailer Shows Character Skins

Last week, Activision and Blizzard announced the Overwatch 2 crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender, and now there’s a trailer showing us more of the character skins we’ll be able to get. There are six heroes who will be available, with some of the most notable being Zenyatta as Aang and Mei getting a free Katara costume. The event starts on December 17, 2024, and it will end on December 30, 2024. 

The trailer begins with a teaser showing silhouettes of the different Overwatch 2 characters in the Avatar skins as they perform actions. It is then that it cuts to Zenyatta in the Aang attire. We get to see footage of him, as well as first-person gameplay. The Katara version of Mei comes up after that. The video makes sure to point out that we are able to earn this Epic Skin by playing. It’s free, unlike the others. After Mei, we see Venture in Toph attire. That’s followed by Genji in the Zuko skin. Kiriko shows up as Suki after that, followed by the Orisa Appa skin. 

Here’s the full trailer from YouTube:

While the skins are the most obvious and likely desirable items in the crossover, there are other items too. Challenges will be available until December 30, 2024 that are based on the show. If you complete them, you can get cosmetics like icons, sprays, and voiced lines. 

These kinds of Overwatch 2 crossovers with other series are common now, and we’ve seen quite a few notable ones before this Avatar collab. For example, there was a One Punch Man one in 2023. A My Hero Academia crossover followed that. In 2024, we also ended up seeing Transformers and Cowboy Bebop show up.

Overwatch 2 is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Avatar: The Last Airbender event runs until December 30, 2024. You can find the Avatar series streaming on Netflix.
