In an interview with Japanese news outlet GameSpark, Blizzard Entertainment vice president Jon Spector and art director Dion Rogers stated that the strong overlap between Overwatch 2 players and anime fans made them look for such titles with "exciting game-compatible elements" that would connect with domestic and international audiences, and One-Punch Man was greatly welcomed by the development team.
More information about the collaboration will be announced at a later date, including the reveal of additional skins as shop items, voice lines and related challenges. Spector did clarify, sadly, that Doomfist won't be able to one-shot enemies while dressed as Saitama.
And don't forget: a third anime season of the fan-favorite One-Punch Man anime is also on the way!
