This crossover is a key moment for Overwatch 2 to regain player engagement and cultural relevance in the gaming industry.
The currently deleted PlayStation Network ads are heavyweight matches that leaked the next Overwatch 2 crossover. Capcom’s flagship fighter, the Street Fighter 6, is now a flashy midseason event packed with themed skins, a new stadium twist, and more, so you’re stepping into the ring.
The leak emerged through the official PSN arrangement first discovered by X’s Dataminer XoxLeak. The ad revealed Blizzard’s next Overwatch 2 event.
Blizzard has not confirmed anything yet, but the leaks line up with the current development cycle and mid-season timing.
Fans beg
The crossover could potentially include premium skins modeled after the iconic Street Fighter 6 characters, as we saw in previous collaborations that included one Punchman. The promotion didn’t explicitly list which fighters were adapting, but players are already stitching together what appears to be a meme-worthy roster.
Within hours of the leak, Overwatch and Street Fighter fans illuminated social media with dream pairings and surprisingly sharp predictions.
“AkumaDoomfist. BlankaWinston. Cammy Tracer. DeeJay Lucio. Give me everything.”
Ryu Genji, Chun-li Mercy, and Ken Reinhardt are considered some of the safe picks designed to sell Battle Pass Layer and highlight reels. However, fans want Blizzard to take the risk. The possibilities here are massive and if Blizzard leaned in, they can offer a fan service masterclass.
Why this crossover is important
This isn’t just a flashy crossover for clicks. For Blizzard, it is a crucial moment.
After months of reductions and mixed responses to player engagement and rollbacks of PVE content, Overwatch 2 needs a spark. And despite a solid update, the game is still fighting to regain the cultural foothold that once ruled.
Street Fighter 6 has momentum, so this crossover could be that spark. It feels like a Win-Win when paired with the evolving hero shooting game format in Overwatch 2, especially how well it has worked historically in games like Fortnite.
Blizzard has not officially commented on the leak, but if the Overwatch 2 X Street Fighter 6 crossover drop on May 20th drops predicted or later, it could be the most impactful update since the game’s reboot.
If Blizzard is nailing this crossover, it’s not just about selling it. It may actually revive your interest in the game for a while. What if not? Well, there’s always another collaboration to leak.
