Months after leaks indicated as such, Epic Video games has lastly confirmed that a number of Overwatch characters are coming to Fortnite as skins. Mercy, Tracer, Genji and a mech-less D.va will all drop into the battle royale recreation on Might 14. Leaker ShiinaBR noted that the skins will probably be out there in a bundle together with Overwatch emotes, 4 pickaxes, a glider and different beauty objects.
Whereas Epic has but to disclose the complete particulars of the collaboration, it appears there’s extra to it than cosmetics. In response to one other leaker, FireMonkey, Fortnite will introduce Overwatch-inspired weapons and different heroes as NPCs in the course of the subsequent act of its present season. It appears like elements of Overwatch‘s fan-favorite King’s Row map are coming to the island too, together with a Porsche Cayenne EV SUV that options hero decals. Tracer’s Blink capacity and pistols will be included too.
Each from time to time, there is a Fortnite replace that pulls me again in for about six weeks, and as a long-time Overwatch participant, you’ll be able to guess I will be dropping in for this crossover. It is a pretty wild collaboration that may have been unthinkable not too way back, however in a world by which a Halo game is coming to PS5, you’ll be able to by no means actually know what to anticipate. That is really extra fascinating to me than Overwatch‘s personal anniversary occasion, which obtained underway on Tuesday.
That recreation debuted 10 years in the past this month and Blizzard is marking the occasion with just a few limited-time “throwback modes” and a boatload of free beauty objects (together with others you can buy). Not probably the most thrilling solution to have a good time a decade of Overwatch, even when I do kinda need that table-flipping participant title.

In equity, the Overwatch group has been fairly busy. It lately gave the game a soft relaunch and it is including 10 new heroes total in 2026, way over it has launched in any 12 months for the reason that debut in 2016.
