When the world's top shooting games meet the fighting game's palace-level IP - according to the latest leaked information, Blizzard "Overwatch 2" and Capcom "Street Fighter 6" will soon be linked.
In this era of "everything can be co-branded", cross-border cooperation such as Fortnite, WWE, Rainbow Six: Siege, and Black Robe Picket have long been common.Nowadays, the collision between these two top IPs seems to be natural.
Pictures leaked by the well-known leaked account XOXLEAK on May 6 show that Overwatch 2 will launch a special event "Arena" in the new season, including the following content:
· "Street Fighter 6" theme linkage content
· Legendary Angel Weapon Skin named Dokiwatch
Another leaker, Lamalaxy, mentioned on X that the collaboration was initially expected to start on April 24 because the file name was dated "24apr25".However, it is now expected to launch on May 20.
As one of the most significant updates in game history, Overwatch Arena mode adopts a seven-inning four-win system similar to Valorant and CS, successfully regaining the player group diverted by Marvel Contest.This linkage may further activate the popularity of the game.
