Okay heroes… we need to talk.
The Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 crossover is coming on May 20, and yes the skins are amazing, the trailer’s dropping on May 19, and the fighting game energy is high…
🥊 First, the Skins
On May 20, we’re getting eight new legendary crossover skins that bring Street Fighter’s iconic energy into Overwatch 2:
- 💙 Juno as Chun-Li – The new girl is SERVING kicks.
- 🥋 Hanzo as Ryu – Bow + Hadouken vibes.
- 🕷️ Kiriko as Juri – Spicy chaos energy? Unmatched.
- 🧘♂️ Zenyatta as Dhalsim – Floaty AND fiery.
- 🎯 Widowmaker as Cammy – Precision meets power. Cammycore.
- 🐵 Winston as Blanka – Science monkey but make it electric.
- 🔫 Soldier: 76 as Guile – Dad with MUCH hair. Iconic.
- 🧠 Sigma as M. Bison – Floaty villain realness.
📆 Launch Date: ALL of these go live on May 20, and it´ll be a true fashion show out there.
💖 BUT WAIT—MAGICAL MERCY & HER FAMILIAR ELIOS?!
Okay. Remember the previously teased Mercy staff?
If you’re a Mercy main, a magical girl enthusiast, or a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, this is your moment!
With the mid-season patch, Mercy is getting her first-ever Mythic Weapon Skin — and it’s not just beautiful, it’s enchanted.
Her Caduceus Staff transforms into a sparkly magical artifact straight from a magical girl anime — and it comes with the CUTEST little companion:
✨ELIOS✨
Yes. His name is Elios, and he’s a tiny glowing familiar who lives inside the staff like a precious magical gem 💎. He’s giving Kero-chan meets Overwatch, and fans are already obsessed. Just LOOK AT HIM. I would die for him. I would protect him with my heals.
And it gets better…
🌈Heroes of Heart Mercy??
If you’ve been following the hints, we knew something magical was coming. Mercy has long been teased as one of the missing Heroes of Heart — part of the dreamy, ultra-sparkly DOKIwatch alternate universe where Overwatch heroes are reimagined as magical protectors of love, justice, and cuteness.
Elios fits perfectly into that world. His aesthetic, the sparkle motifs, the wings, the glitter trails? It’s giving transformation sequence realness. This isn’t just a skin — it’s lore.
💾 Pre-Download Info (Because You’ll Want to Be Ready)
📥 The update is about 3.80 GB and available now for pre-download on Battle.net
🗓️ It launches alongside the Street Fighter 6 Collab Event on May 20!
🎉 What Else Might Be Coming?
While the skins are the spotlight, don’t be surprised if we get:
- 🧪 Themed Challenges

💫 Final Thoughts
This update has everything:
- 💖 Magical staff? Check.
- 🐣 Tiny familiar named Elios? Check.
- 🧚♀️ DOKIwatch confirmation? Check.
- 🥊 Street Fighter crossover chaos? DOUBLE CHECK.
Whether you’re throwing kunai as Juri Kiriko, zapping fools as Blanka Winston, or floating with Elios by your side, this event is a love letter to fans.
So. I’ll be in game. Holding my sparkly new staff. With Elios. Wearing pink. Crying.
✨See you in the skies, fellow magical healers!!✨
And remember to tune in to the gameplay trailer on the 19th of May!
