Overwatch rolls out the carpet for J-POP duo YOASOBI

From June 30 to July 20, Overwatch’s next music collaboration event invites you to experience the story-telling style of dynamic J-POP duo, YOASOBI!

Of course, we couldn’t work with YOASOBI without introducing some exciting new looks into the game. Overwatch x YOASOBI introduces six legendary hero skins, each loaded with stunning visual effects and striking artistic details. Neon colors and hard-light designs swirl around some of your favorite Heroes, accented by bold kanji-inspired motifs that celebrate their spirit. These new cosmetics feature enhanced ambient VFX, while dance emotes include official music and choreography provided through the collaboration.  

Six Heroes, Six New Looks

Dressed in YOASOBI’s signature stylish flair and thematic elements, each skin is lovingly crafted to reflect the Hero’s spirit and story:

  • Dragon Star Hanzo — Wrapped in luminous hard-light accents and striking kanji details, Hanzo carries the weight of the past while looking toward what comes next.

  • Dragon Star Genji — Growth is a journey, and Genji's vibrant new look combines custom effects with bold stylization to celebrate the Hero he's become and the road still ahead.

  • Fox Star Kiriko — Bright and fearless, Kiriko takes center stage in a skin inspired by the connections that keep us moving forward, no matter how far apart we drift.

  • Spirit Star Mizuki — Equal parts confidence and self-expression, Mizuki's premium design shines with custom lighting, hard-light effects, and enough personality to make the city feel like his stage.

  • Space Star Juno — With her eyes on the stars and her future wide open, Juno's skin brings wonder, optimism, and dazzling visual flair to the fight for a better future.

  • Fire Star Anran — Calm, confident, and effortlessly stylish, Anran's look blends premium effects and kanji-inspired design into a skin that leaves a lasting impression.  

Some Bonds Never Break

From June 30 - July 20 Overwatch x YOASOBI takes Kiriko, Genji, and Hanzo through the Shimada lore, shape the battlefield through distance, loss, and the long road back. Told from Kiriko’s perspective, this collab explores what it means to grow apart, hold on, and find your way through years of conflict. Through YOASOBI's music based on the new short story, fully animated music video, collectible cosmetics, and map updates, you’ll confront the past and the ties your Heroes can’t leave behind.
