Blizzard has confirmed a collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Avatar: The Last Airbender, but recent leaks have offered a possible sneak peek at the upcoming crossover skins. While a specific image detailing these Overwatch 2 skins has yet to be fully confirmed, it could potentially give fans an early taste of what to expect from the anticipated crossover.
An Overwatch 2 fan known as Sloansw1fe claims to have uncovered an image detailing the five Avatar: The Last Airbender skins players can expect. The leaked image details some fan favorite Overwatch 2 characters decked out in skins inspired by the popular series, bringing a fun blend of both franchises together. Avatar: The Last Airbender has had its fair share of crossovers in video games, like Fortnite, and the upcoming Overwatch 2 collaboration is an exciting change of pace for the popular hero shooter.

The hero shooter genre is growing, and while Marvel Rivals shares a lot in common with Overwatch 2, there are a few key differences that set it apart.

Blizzard may have yet to officially reveal these skins, but the Overwatch 2 Twitter/X account points to the leaked image being potentially true. In an official post from the Overwatch 2 account, players were asked if they were “hyped for Venture as Toph.” Since that seemingly confirms at least one out of five leaked skins, then it’s not too wild to assume that the other four are accurate, too. The upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover is one of the many updates planned for Overwatch 2 Season 14, and it brings some of the most beloved characters from the franchise into the spotlight.

While many players are excited about these upcoming skins, there is also disappointment that some of Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s main characters don’t seem to be represented in the crossover. This disappointment is fair, since some of the most popular characters in the series haven’t appeared. Someone like Azula would be less likely to be a featured character, but the apparent omission of Sokka and Katara is definitely a surprise. However, the presence of Suki is still exciting, since she’s a character that is rarely featured as often in Avatar spin-off media. Overwatch 2 has been making some welcome changes lately, and these leaked skin designs are promising, if accurate.

Overwatch 2’s Avatar: The Last Airbender Crossover Helps Kick Off Season 14
Between a brand-new Tank hero and a crossover with a massive franchise, Season 14 of Overwatch 2 could give players a series of exciting updates. There is one glaring issue with this crossover, though. Despite the exciting prospect of having Avatar: The Last Airbender present in the game, this also helps prove that specific heroes in Overwatch 2 are more likely to get special skins than others. This favoritism is apparent with yet another Kiriko skin. While this can be frustrating for some players who were hoping to see their favorite hero get a skin inspired by the animated series, Venture is at least finally getting some attention this time around.
With the crossover drawing closer, it will be exciting to see if this leaked image is accurate to how the Overwatch 2 skins appear in-game. The possible lack of Katara and Sokka may be disappointing for many Avatar fans, but there is still an opportunity for further crossovers down the road.
