Overwatch 2 x Transformers event: Start date & what to expect
BlizzardThe Overwatch 2 Season 11 roadmap confirmed a Transformers crossover coming to the game. So, here’s everything we know about the OW2 x Transformers collab, including the start date.
Overwatch 2 is no stranger to a crossover, following the likes of Cowboy Bebop and even Porsche in recent seasons. In Season 11, the devs have revealed that the Transformers franchise is coming to the game for the first time, much to the delight of players.
So, here’s everything we know about the Overwatch 2 x Transformers collab in Season 11.
OW2 x Transformers crossover start date
The Transformers event gets underway in Overwatch 2 on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. Blizzard confirmed this in the Season 11 roadmap, which featured the start date alongside the iconic Transformers logo that fans will recognize.
It hasn’t been announced how long the event will run, but based on past crossovers like this one, we expect it to last for around two weeks. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as we know more.
What to expect in OW2 Transformers event
The full details of the OW2 x Transformers crossover event haven’t been confirmed just yet, but it’s almost guaranteed to bring some Hero skins inspired by the Autobots or Decepticons. The series is home to some iconic characters, and fans have already called for the likes of Bastion or Reinhardt to be given outfits that resemble Optimus Prime, Megatron, or Bumblebee.
Based on previous collaborations, there will likely be a series of challenges to earn free rewards such as Name Cards, Sprays, and more.
Since this is one of the biggest franchises to come to Overwatch to date, there could also be a new limited-time mode introduced to celebrate the crossover and put the new skins front and center.
However, this is all just speculation for now. Blizzard will reveal more details about the Transformers event once Season 11 goes live on June 20.
That’s not all that the Season 11 update has in store either, as there’s set to be a new Battle Pass packed with Ultrawatch skins, as well as the opportunity to earn a free Aztec Sombra bundle.
