Blizzard Entertainment has officially announced an exciting collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Avatar: The Last Airbender. As anticipation builds among fans, recent leaks suggest we may have a first look at the upcoming crossover skins. While nothing has been conclusively verified by Blizzard, these images seem to provide an enticing glimpse of what players can look forward to.
A dedicated Overwatch fan, known as Sloansw1fe, claims to have discovered an image showcasing five potential skins inspired by the iconic Avatar: The Last Airbender series. The leaked content features beloved Overwatch characters reimagined in outfits reflecting the beloved animated saga, creating a delightful fusion for fans of both franchises. Crossovers like these aren’t new for Avatar, which has previously collaborated with games such as Fortnite. However, this partnership with Overwatch 2 marks a refreshing twist for the hero shooter universe.
Upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender Skins for Overwatch 2
Leaked Overwatch 2 Characters Inspired by Avatar
- Aang as Zenyatta
- Zuko as Genji
- Toph as Venture
- Suki as Kiriko
- Appa as Orisa
While Blizzard has yet to confirm the details of these skins, hints from the official Overwatch 2 Twitter/X account appear to validate the leaked images. A post asked players if they were excited about Venture portraying Toph, implying that at least one of the rumored skins is accurate. Given this, it’s reasonable to consider that the remaining four skins may also be correct. This crossover is set to be a highlight of Overwatch 2’s Season 14, showcasing characters that fans adore.
Season 14 is scheduled to launch on December 10, introducing a new Tank hero named Hazard alongside the much-anticipated skins.
Despite the excitement surrounding these new skins, some fans have expressed disappointment regarding the absence of key characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Iconic figures like Sokka and Katara, for instance, have notably not made the cut, which has surprised many. Although the inclusion of Suki is a plus given her rarity in other franchise media, the omission of fan favorites has led to mixed feelings. Nevertheless, these leaked designs, if true, point towards a promising and engaging future for Overwatch 2.
The highly awaited Avatar: The Last Airbender skins are expected to go live on December 17, just one week after Season 14 kicks off.
Kicking Off Season 14 with Excitement
With the launch of a new Tank hero and the Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover, Season 14 promises a wave of thrilling updates for players. However, it does raise questions about how certain heroes seem to receive more emphasis in terms of special skins. For instance, Kiriko is set to receive yet another skin, which might frustrate fans hoping to see their favorite heroes get similar treatment. On a brighter note, it’s nice to see Venture finally gaining some recognition.
As the crossover date approaches, all eyes will be on whether the leaked images align with the in-game rendition of the skins. While the absence of Katara and Sokka may be disappointing, there remains hope for future collaborations that could feature these beloved characters.
