Summary
Overwatch 2recently made some cheeky comments on an official post about the upcoming 30th anniversary ofGundam Wingthat suggests a collaboration between the mecha anime and FPS could be on its way. While far from hard confirmation, this teaser seemingly corroborates some previous leaks that suggested anOverwatch 2xGundam Wingcollaboration may be coming in Season 16.
Though theGundamfranchise began 15 years earlier,Mobile Suit Gundam Wingwas one of its most popular series, as it was the first to be broadcast on American television. The first story in the alternative After Colony timeline,Gundam Wingfirst aired in Japan on July 25, 2025, with its US debut taking place on Jul 24, 2025.
However, it seems likeGundam Wingmight be coming to a different version of a futuristic Earth soon.Gundamrecently revealed a special websiteto celebrate the anime’s 30th anniversary. Then, on its Twitter post sharing the link and information,Overwatch 2congratulatedGundamon its big milestone, despite having little direct contact with Gundam in the past. While relatively innocuous on its own, subsequent comments to prying fans like “The 30th anniversary ofGundam Wingis very exciting,” “Don’t mind us,” and an eyes emoji between two bushes suggests this statement might be hinting at something more – such as an upcoming collaboration event.
Overwatch 2 Comments on Gundam Wing Anniversary
This isn’t the first time players have heard about aGundam WingxOverwatch 2crossover. Only a few days earlier,Overwatch 2fan Ska’Vorah shared images allegedly leaked from Blizzardthat contained aGundam Winglogo, as well as a Genji skin reminiscent of the crimson uniform worn by Zechs Merquise.
While it is possible this could amount to nothing, these comments, combined with the leaks, heavily hint that aGundam Wingcollaboration is probablycoming toOverwatch 2in Season 16. The major update arrives on April 22, so players will likely learn if this crossover is real shortly before then, if not on April 7 for the anime’s big anniversary.
Even without aGundam Wingcrossover,Overwatch 2Season 16 is going to be huge. Freja, a highly-mobile, bounty-hunting damage hero, is officially arriving in the update, along with the massive Stadium game mode, which adds a third person option and even more ability customization in matches than Perks do. With this and more arriving inOverwatch 2in just a few weeks, aGundam Wingcollaboration would be icing on the cake.
