One Punch Man is about o come smashing into Overwatch 2 in its first-ever anime collaboration.
You might only get one shot at greatness, but this One Punch Man event is going to make sure that’s all you need to win in Overwatch. Coming to Blizzard’s team based arena brawler in March, this newly announced collaboration was just revealed as part of the title’s Season 3 plans. Not only is it the very first anime addition to load up into the game, but it is the inaugural IP crossover for the Overwatch sequel.

Fans who log in and pick up the fight between 7 March to 6 April can soon show off their full power with in game rewards, although we only really know about one of them right now. With most of the details still shrouded in mystery, we only have a teaser image to go on. This shows Doomfist reskinned in the classic Saitama costume, looking appropriately punchy. For anybody who is a bit lost on this new character crossover, One Punch man follows the fate of an average joe who just happens to be a z list superhero that is utterly overpowered. With the ability to take on any foe with a single punch, his day to day battles are more about getting through until the weekend than big time heroics.
While anime and manga fans can keep an eye on the official Blizard website for more, players interested in the rest of Season 3 have a bit more to go on. Following on from the recent Season 2 retrospective, a series of social media posts confirmed a fully featured Season 3 Battle Pass. This drops in alongside a new adorable-looking game mode called PachiMarchi, new shop bundles, additional Twitch Drops, and a dating sim. Yep, a dating sim. That’s not everything, but we expect a full run down of what’s coming in the next couple of weekes. Keep an eye out for more on the Overwatch 2 website.
