The Overwatch 2 x Avatar: The Last Airbender Collaboration Has Arrived

Oh boy, as a lifelong fan of both Avatar: The Last Airbender and Overwatch, this collaboration has me absolutely thrilled! I remember staying up late to watch new episodes of Avatar back in the day, and now those same characters are coming to life in my favorite video game. It’s like a dream come true!

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to experience the dynamic powers of Avatar: The Last Airbender within Overwatch 2! With innovative integrations and captivating skins, the game now lets me bend Water, Earth, Fire, and Air just like my favorite characters from the series. This collaboration brings a fresh wave of in-game cosmetics and adventures that pay homage to the “unconquerable spirit of unity” that the 2005-born animated show is known for.

From December 17 onwards, players will be able to utilize Avatar-inspired abilities within Overwatch’s engaging gameplay. Characters from the show make their appearance, with Zenyatta taking on the role of avatar Aang, Mei as water-bender Katara, Orisa as flying bison Appa, Genji as fire prince Zuko, and others. Additionally, players can participate in event challenges to acquire new skins, along with themed sprays, voice lines, and player icons, enhancing their immersion within the Four Nations’ captivating lore.

Following on from successful team-ups with animated shows such as One Punch Man and My Hero Academia, Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch’s creators, have been broadening the game’s influence by forging partnerships across various universes.

You can enjoy the Overwatch 2 and Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration from December 17th through December 30th.
