Overwatch 2 is a first-person shooter game published by Blizzard Entertainment, a sequel-slash-replacement to the original smash-hit Overwatch, which wildly popularized the "hero shooter" genre.
Sometimes, people remember Overwatch 2 exists.
Between July 9 and July 23, 2024, a collaboration with the Transformers franchise took place as part of the game's eleventh season. A promotional comic, "Transmission", was released on July 5 to promote the event.
Transformers content
The collaboration adds four character skins, including Reinhardt as Optimus Prime, Bastion as Bumblebee, Illari as Arcee, and Ramattra as Megatron. The collaboration also added three new highlight intros (one for each character excluding Illari), four new victory poses (one for each character including Illari), four character themed name cards, four character themed player icons, six new voice lines (three for Reinhardt, two for Ramattra, and one for Illari), and one new spray.
Each skin can be purchased in a bundle with their additional cosmetics for 2500 credits, or roughly $25 USD (YIKES), or all together as part of a mega bundle for 5900 credits. So if you're planning to get more than one, there's really no point in buying anything but the bundle.
Challenges
A set of six challenges could be completed during the event, through which players could earn additional Transformers cosmetics.
