Blizzard Entertainment and Overwatch 2 are taking inspiration from League of Legends and dipping their toes into the pop scene with their first musical artist collaboration. Partnering with K-Pop sensation LE SSERAFIM, Blizzard has revealed five skins for fan-favorite female heroes paying homage to the edgy style of the LE SSERAFIM stars, Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae.
Read on for details on how to unlock the Overwatch 2 x LE SSERAFIM skins, the limited-time Concert Clash Arcade gamemode, and even the reveal trailer in case you missed it.
Since Overwatch’s previous crossovers events with Diablo 4 and One Punch Man have been so successful, fans eagerly await more details on the collab with LE SSERAFIM. The teaser and dedicated music videos revealed exclusive-themed skins for D.Va, Sombra, Tracer, Brigitte, and Kiriko, and five themed dance emotes.
Unfortunately, these LE SESERAFIM skins are only purchasable from the shop using Overwatch Coins or Credits, as listed below.
Overwatch 2 players can earn the Fawksey James (Legendary) Junkrat skin by completing challenges in the Overwatch 2 x LE SSERAFIM event, and other in-game cosmetics like player icons, a player title, and name cards. The Concert Clash game mode is essentially like Capture the Flag, making it an easy shot to stardom completing all these challenges.
The official music video (embedded below) teases OW2 players on what they can expect the new skins to look like, with Brigitte sporting braids and a bandana and Sombra wearing a “fearless” snapback hat.
The video sees the five heroes acting as fangirls for the legendary girl band, preparing to watch the gig, with regular cuts to LE SSERAFIM's choreography and singing.
The star quality of Overwatch 2's animation and cinematography strikes again in this music video, as the hero’s in-game abilities and skills are referenced. For example, Kiriko uses Kitsune Rush to guide the group’s car from all the traffic to the LE SSERAFIM concert, Tracer uses recall to retrieve their concert tickets, and D.Va uses her mech to lift their truck into the sky.
The K-pop group will make a real-life appearance at BlizzCon on November 4 for a special performance, bringing their new single “Perfect Night” to the big stage. Tickets for the event are still available on the official BlizzCon website if you still want to cop them!
That’s all the information we currently have on the OW2 x LE SSERAFIM collaboration event. More details will become available on October 30, and the content will launch in-game on November 1. We can’t wait to see what the LE SSERAFIM gamemode looks like with all the unique cosmetics.
