We got big news from Warcraft and Overwatch with their Overwatch 2 and World of Warcraft crossover event to celebrate World of Warcraft’s 20th anniversary. From September 17 to 30, you can join in the festivities and earn exclusive in-game rewards.
Blizzard’s crossover brings iconic World of Warcraft characters to life in Overwatch 2, allowing players to experience the magic of Azeroth while battling in the futuristic realms of Earth.
Legendary Skins and Cosmetics Bring Azeroth to Overwatch 2
This limited-time event introduces stunning new skins for Overwatch 2 heroes, each inspired by legendary World of Warcraft characters. The crossover includes the Sylvanas Windrunner Widowmaker, Lich King Reinhardt, Thrall Zenyatta, and Diamond Magni Torbjorn Legendary skins. These cosmetics perfectly capture the essence of both worlds, adding an exciting twist to your battles in Overwatch 2.
- Sylvanas Windrunner Widowmaker: Embrace the cold precision of the Banshee Queen. This skin gives Widowmaker the haunting look of Sylvanas, complete with her dark arrows and icy demeanor.
- Lich King Reinhardt: Wield Frostmourne and command the Scourge with Reinhardt’s new Lich King skin. This skin brings the iconic ruler of the undead straight into Overwatch 2, featuring a Play of the Game cinematic inspired by the Lich King himself.
- Thrall Zenyatta: Forge a new destiny for the Horde with Zenyatta’s Thrall skin. Channel the strength and spirit of the legendary orc leader as you heal and strike down your enemies.
- Diamond Magni Torbjorn: Fight for Azeroth with Torbjorn’s Diamond Magni skin. Dressed as the powerful dwarven king, you’ll feel the might of the Alliance in every battle.
These skins aren’t just cosmetic; they come to life with cinematic-quality Play of the Game animations, giving players a true homage to the World of Warcraft universe. Nostalgic emotes inspired by World of Warcraft NPC quest givers also add a unique touch, letting players immerse themselves in the crossover event fully.
Here’s a trailer of the event that showcases some of the characters in-game:

What Are People Saying About the World of Warcraft and Overwatch Crossover?
With the recently revealed Universe of Warcraft partnership, fans of Overwatch should dive into the universe of Overwatch, which has a reputation for having a few of the most famous crossovers among Blizzard products. The 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft is presently being celebrated, and Blizzard has no intention of holding back.
As with the majority of Overwatch 2 skins, fans should budget a reasonable amount of money to purchase the complete set. The prices of the Warcraft Mega Bundle, Sylvanas Widowmaker, Thrall Zenyatta, Magni Torbjörn, and Reinhardt as the Lich King are as follows: 5700 Overwatch Coins, 2600 Overwatch Coins, and 2500 Overwatch Coins, respectively.
The price of the skins is probably the most offputting part of the crossover. Steep prices are often not a good sign for players because many simply want to play the game. But the skins do make the game more enjoyable to look at, the problem is not everyone is going to be able to afford it. This really got everyone in a tussle, like the time former Blizzard President Mike Ybarra had to say something about the franchise.
