Blizzard explains: "This limited-time collaboration boasts the best of both worlds - on the hero team there's Tracer as the determined Deku, Juno as the joyful Uravity, and Reinhardt as the symbol of peace, All Might. These heroes prepare to face off against Kiriko as the cunning Himiko Toga, chasing down that which she loves, and Reaper as the leader of the League of Villains, Tomura Shigaraki. Each skin is designed to capture the essence of these beloved characters, giving you the chance to dominate the battlefield with their unique style and flair".

"The quirky and colorful designs highlight the coolest aspects of these characters, allowing heroes, villains, and their ideas of justice to collide on the front lines. Whether you're heroically fighting as All Might Reinhardt or causing chaos as the villainous Shigaraki Reaper, you'll find that each skin in this collection is a tribute to the power and determination that defines these iconic figures and worlds".

"The Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia Mega Bundle is your chance to collect them all. This Shop bundle includes all five legendary skins along with additional cosmetics that will make you stand out in any match. Play for free to earn five sprays and a mighty charm".
