Possible Collaborations and Fan’s Desires
Blizzard Entertainment mentioned Naruto back in 2022, referring to Fortnite’s collaboration with the anime series Naruto Shippuden. Possibly being a thought of adding to the game, fans are also surprised that Blizzard Entertainment hasn’t yet added a collaboration with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Bringing up the fact that Ramattra (a hero in Overwatch 2) would be a good character to give a skin to. Because of the way he fights, Ramattra could be a stand, like Star Platinum.
Anime Fans are also wanting Blizzard Entertainment to collaborate with many other anime, such as One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Chainsaw Man, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
With separate collaboration ideas for the game’s character’s skins, such as:
- Wrecking ball-Pikachu
- D.Va-Neon Genesis Evangelion
With the possibility of adding more anime collaborations, some of Overwatch’s voice actors are also voice actors in anime. Perhaps they would want to contribute to the possibilities of more anime collaborations.
