As part of the seasonal updates and live-service format, Overwatch 2 tends to rotate a variety of different aspects of the game, such as limited-time game modes, in-game events, challenge opportunities, rewards, Battle Pass themes, and more. One of the ways in which they introduce new cosmetics for some of everyone’s favorite heroes is through the more recent crossover collaboration events, which began a few Competitive seasons into Overwatch 2 and have continued to appear on a seasonal rotation moving forward.
These crossover collaboration events feature a limited-time opportunity to claim special cosmetics, weapon charms, profile decorations, voice lines, and more featuring Overwatch heroes/villains and their take on cosplaying certain characters from various games, anime, and other pop culture names and franchises. Previously, these events have included the likes of One Punch Man, K-pop group LE SSERAFIM, Cowboy Bebop, Transformers, and more. With Overwatch 2’s Season 14 arriving in December 2024, a new crossover event is set to go live at some point, featuring Avatar: The Last Airbender. Everything you need to know about this collaboration event and all featured characters who are receiving new skins has been included in the guide below.

All Overwatch 2 + Avatar: The Last Airbender Crossover Collab Skins
In Overwatch 2, the Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover collaboration event is set to go live on December 17, 2024. This event, like many others, will bring a series of hero skins featuring certain Overwatch characters dressed up as characters from the ATLA show, as well as some event challenges that can be completed for additional Battle Pass XP and rewards. Every Avatar: The Last Airbender + Overwatch 2 crossover skin concept has been identified below:
Aang Zenyatta
If there was any character that suited an Aang-themed cosmetic, it’s definitely Zenyatta. After all, this guy literally floats around with his feet tucked up, just like the pose Aang uses when he sits on his Air Scooter. On top of that, Zenyatta is a very peaceful monk with a calm, tranquil personality and tone, much like the older monks who lived on the Air Temple Islands where Aang grew up. It goes without saying that this is definitely one of the best recent Zenyatta cosmetics, especially on the chance that his bundle may include an Air Scooter emote.
Appa Orisa
Would Aang even be Aang without his big fluffy Sky Bison buddy, Appa, by his side? Thankfully, Appa also made an appearance in Overwatch 2 x Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover event with a cosmetic for none other than Omnic Tank, Orisa. The cosmetic does seem to suit Orisa rather well, much like many of the other animal and creature-inspired skins she has received over the years. It will be interesting to see what kind of emotes or highlight intro may come with this one in particular though, as Appa primarily soars through the sky.
Katara Mei
Mei is pretty much the perfect character to receive a Katara cosmetic, already wearing blue colored clothing, and having snow/ice powers, similar to Katara’s Water Bending – which can also be used to send out water bullets/darts, water splash/spray, and water walls, much like many of Mei’s abilities. Mei definitely suits and combines well with the influences from Katara’s outfit, hairstyle, and Southern Water Tribe garments, so any other bonus items or highlight intro for this one could only make it better.
Toph Venture
Finally, after months and months of not receiving any new content, Venture is to receive their second-ever hero skin, giving an additional option for this hero other than the defaults or their Ice Cream-themed skin. This time, they’ll be portraying Toph, which works rather well considering Venture’s ability to burrow underground, and Toph being an Earth Bender who learned Earthbending from the Badgermoles, who tunnel underground.

Suki Kiriko
If there was a character who Kiriko would suit for a skin (other than Mai), then Suki is about as close as it gets. While Mai uses weaponry, Suki is more involved across each ark and is a member of the Gaang, just like every other character found in these crossover skins. As Suki is a Kiyoshi Warrior who utilizes melee tools and weaponry such as fans and a katana rather than a bending style, she suits Kiriko and her use of Kunai relatively well. Plus, both have extensive training in their martial arts with Kiriko’s upbringing and training from her mother and Suki’s dedication to the Kiyoshi Warriors.
Zuko Genji
Last but certainly not least, there’s Genji taking on a cosmetic for Prince Zuko. Much like the others, these characters share quite a few similarities, both having troubled pasts with a transition to a more peace-oriented, good-aligned role in their society or organization. On top of this, both Zuko and Genji wield swords, so it would be a nice addition to see Genji’s Dragonblade, usually Green, take on a fiery orange or red glow to reference Zuko’s Firebending.
