Overwatch 2 welcomes Luka Dončić to the mix
Just weeks after geeking out over the NERF skins and themes in Overwatch 2, how about seeing the Los Angeles Lakers stud getting fully invested into the must-play game of the summer? Peep the deets.
Blizzard Entertainment’s genre-defining hero shooter Overwatch 2 is bringing NBA All-Star Luka Dončić aka “Sharpshooter 77” to the Overwatch universe. Luka is a huge player of Overwatch 2 and has achieved Grandmaster status in the game. Since the launch of the new Stadium Mode earlier this year, he’s been sharpening his skills and reached a Top 500 ranking in North America, showing he’s an elite player not only on the court but the Overwatch stadiums as well.

“Many have seen how competitive I am on the basketball court, but you may not know that I’m just as competitive when I'm playing Overwatch,” said Luka Dončić “I love this game, and am excited about this partnership. It’s special to be in the game in a way that other players can be part of.”
As part of the partnership, Luka will be featured on Overwatch-themed billboards across Los Angeles, Dallas, and in Katowice, Poland where Luka is currently competing in EuroBasket for the Slovenian national team. Fans in LA will soon spot Stadium Mode billboards featuring Luka around Crypto.com Arena and LA Live. In Dallas, a single Overwatch-themed billboard will be seen just steps from American Airlines Center. If you’ve been looking for a new way to see Luka play, now’s your chance.
“Sharpshooter 77” will also make his mark in-game with a player title of the same name, a 77 loot box giveaway, a golden basketball weapon charm emblazoned with Luka’s iconic jersey number, and a spray. Players will be able to play through special Stadium hero builds inspired by Luka’s on-court persona, including…
