Alongside the new Blizzard World theme park map, Blizzard is finally crossing Overwatch with the rest of the Blizzard universe. Overwatch heroes are getting skins based on StarCraft 2 and World of Warcraft, as well as skins from two Overwatch animated shorts, Rise and Shine and Honor and Glory.

Protoss Orisa from StarCraft 2 looks like she’s about to take on both Zerg and Terran. My wife for hire!

Doomfist’s massive fist makes him a good ally for World of Warcraft’s Horde.

Ah, Sonya of Harrogath. Zarya’s a natural fit for the Diablo barbarian.

If anyone is as scary as The Butcher in Diablo, it’s Roadhog.

It’s not Mei’s adorable pajamas, but we’re still happy to see a skin from Rise and Shine.


All of these new skins will be added to Overwatch’s base loot boxes early next year. More skins, too, will be added alongside them.
