Blizzard’s highly anticipated Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe collaboration arrives July 1, transforming heroes into legendary action figures. This perfect thematic match delivers five premium skins, including Reaper as Cobra Commander and Genji as Snake Eyes in the Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe event.
Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe Character Skins
The Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe crossover features these inspired pairings:
- Reaper → Cobra Commander (with fittingly dramatic voice lines).
- Genji → Snake Eyes (silent ninja perfection).
- Widowmaker → Baroness (black tactical suit ideal for snipers).
- Freja → Scarlett (complete with signature red hair).
- Doomfist → Destro (metal-armored powerhouse).
Notable omission: Soldier: 76 as Duke may come in future Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe updates.
How to Get Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe Content
