The first-ever community Overwatch 2 map, Talantis, came out on April 25, leading to players begging for more custom-made maps. One idea that has sprung to the minds of players since the new release is a crossover with Team Fortress 2.
Following the release of Talantis, a player posted a picture of Team Fortress 2’s 2Fort map on the Overwatch 2’s subreddit as a simple plea to Blizzard.
“A collab with TF2 would be cool,” one player said. “TF2 was my LIFE for like two years. God I loved this game and the people I played with. Such good memories,” another added.
While many players in the comment section on Reddit fantasized about a possible collaboration between the two games, it’s not something that will likely happen in the future.
In a stream in March, one of the Overwatch 2 devs admitted the idea of collaborating with TF2 had been on their minds for a while.
“Somebody was like, ‘A TF2 [cross-over],’ that would actually be sweet,” the dev said. “I think all of us on the Overwatch team have a deep appreciation for games like TF2 that kinda came before us.”

Although there’s a slim chance OW2 and TF2 will crossover in the future, it probably won’t happen anytime soon, unless the devs feel like surprising players with a bombshell.
But with the OW2 community so enthusiastic about a crossover, players would almost certainly welcome TF2 characters and items with open arms.
