Overwatch 2 x G.I. Joe crossover release date & all skins
A G.I. Joe crossover is coming to Overwatch 2 during Season 17, bringing new hero skins inspired by the franchise’s most iconic characters.
Overwatchhas enjoyed its fair share of crossovers in recent months, with the likes ofStreet Fighter,Gundam Wing, and even K-pop groupLe Sserafim. Now, withSeason 17underway, a new collab is on the way.
This time, it’s G.I. that’s getting a line of skins, bringing the iconic action figure brand, which has since spawned spin-off comics, TV shows, and movies, to the game for the first time.
Here’s everything we know about the event so far, including which characters are set to be included.
G.I. Joe OW2 event start date
The G.I. crossover arrives onTuesday, June 26, 2025, as announced by Blizzard. It hasn’t been confirmed how long it will last for, but we expect it to run for either seven days or two weeks, if previous events are anything to go by.
In the past, big collaborations like this arrived in the mid-season patch, which will drop sometime around July 25, 2025. However, the Gundam Wing event broke this trend by releasing just a week into Season 16, so it could be sooner rather than later.
We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as we know more.
All OW2 x G.I. Joe skins
Five skins have been revealed as part of the event by Blizzard, all of which see OW2 heroes get a makeover inspired by a G.I. Joe character. Check them out below:
