A new Overwatch 2 collab is about to arrive, bringing the iconic characters of Street Fighter 6 into Overwatch. This newest collaboration has just been announced. We don’t have the cleanest look at all of the skins just yet. However, we do have a firm idea of how the Street Fighter 6 Overwatch skins will work. Including the characters that are being included, and who they’ll look like.
The collabs you’ll find in Overwatch 2 news are a bit different to some other games. All the characters still need to be themselves, so while we’re getting SF 6 in OW, its skin of cosplay of the S6 characters. With more recent collabs though, it’s been taken further and we’ve seen a fuller representation of the franchise. Like with the recent Overwatch X Gundam collaboration. These are the new skins we’re going to be getting:

New Street Fighter 6 Overwatch Skins Coming
The next collab coming to OW 2 is Street Fighter 6. This week, along with EVO Japan, we’ve seen an announcement of the collab. We’ve got confirmation of the characters who are coming. These will be:
- Ryu – Hanzo
- Juno – Chun Li
- Kiriko – Juri
- Sigma – M. Bison
- Soldier 76 – Guile
- Widowmaker – Cammy
- Wiston – Blanka
- Zanyatta – Dhalsim
Those are all of the skins! The trailer did show some bits off, such as their designs. In terms of in-game appearance though, it was limited to Ryu as Hanzo. The other portions were animated, so their look in the game are still under wrapped. However, we know there are also other items coming like emotes to match some of the skins.

When Does it Release?
We don’t have the full reveal of all of the skins yet, but we’ll see more of the OW character’s new skins unveiled over the coming weeks. Ahead of its full release, which will be on May 20th. That’s when we expect the update to come in full.
