Overwatch 2's Wishlist Reads Like a Gamer's Fever Dream: Monster Hunter, Critical Role, and... Adidas?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Blizzard dropped a survey hinting at potential Overwatch 2 crossovers, and the list is a glorious mix of the awesome and the utterly bizarre. From Monster Hunter to Adidas, it seems like nothing's off the table, raising the question of whether this is a dream wishlist or a marketing team gone rogue.
Right, so Blizzard's been sniffing around the crossover market again, and this time, they've unleashed a survey so bonkers it's got me wondering if someone spiked the office coffee with a Potion of Wild Magic. According to a recent Overwatch 2 survey – unearthed by the folks at Game Rant – Blizzard's been floating some truly… ambitious collaboration ideas. We're talking the kind of crossovers that make you tilt your head and mutter, "Huh. Didn't see that coming."
Overwatch 2 has never been shy about dipping its toes into other universes, what with the Cowboy Bebop skins and that cheeky Diablo crossover. But this survey? This is next-level stuff. It's like they threw every pop culture franchise into a hat, shook it vigorously, and then decided to ask players if they'd pay real money for whatever fell out.
The list of potential suitors for an Overwatch 2 skin-over is longer than a DPS queue on a Tuesday night. We're talking Monster Hunter, League of Legends, Elden Ring (imagine Reinhardt as a Tarnished, smashing things with the Greatsword), and even… The Little Mermaid? I'm not even going to try and picture that one. It'll give me nightmares.
But it doesn't stop there, mate. The survey also includes some seriously left-field choices. Critical Role? As in, the Dungeons & Dragons web series? Someone at Blizzard clearly has good taste (and probably spends too much time on Twitch). And then there's Adidas. Yeah, the sportswear company. I'm picturing Tracer in some limited-edition Ultraboosts, leaving a trail of sponsored content in her wake. Is nothing sacred?
Of course, Blizzard's being all coy about whether any of these collaborations will actually happen. It's just a survey, after all. But it does give us a tantalizing glimpse into the minds of the marketing wizards over at Blizzard HQ. Are they genuinely trying to give players what they want, or are they just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks?
Personally, I'm holding out for the Nerf crossover. Imagine D.Va launching a barrage of foam darts from her mech. The possibilities are endless! And slightly terrifying.
Look, the gaming landscape is ever-changing. Maybe crossovers are the future. Maybe we'll all be playing Fortnite in Hello Kitty skins before the year is out. But one thing's for sure: this Overwatch 2 survey is a reminder that anything is possible in the wild, wonderful world of gaming. Even… Adidas. Bloody hell.
(Full disclosure: I may or may not have already started brainstorming Overwatch 2/Stray Kids crossover skins. Don't judge me.)
