The second big skin collaboration of the big crossover of anime and manga One-Punch Man in Overwatch 2 will come soon and it will be Terrible Tornado Kiriko skin.
Kiriko One Punch Man skin will be a legendary skin and come in a bundle that costs 2100 Overwatch Coins. The bundle also includes the Terribly Impressive Victory Pose which you can see below and the Terrible Tornado namecard.
The skin – and the rest of the One Punch Man collaboration – will be available from March 7 until April 6. So Kiriko One Punch Man skin release date is 7th March 2023.
It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while. You know, Overwatch’s art style is kind of a marriage of West-meets-East aesthetics and values – there’s a bit of an anime look to Overwatch. So, being fans of anime, we were looking for a partner to collaborate with. And we looked at various studios, and then when One-Punch Man came up, it was surprising how many people on the team knew the anime, they loved it, they watched it. Aaron Keller, our game director totally knows all the characters and things backwards and forwards.

The first skin collaboration in Overwatch 2 was with Lego Group as a result we’ve seen Lego-themed Bastion skin and an in-game challenge to the original Overwatch. This time skin collaboration will not end in one Kiriko Tatsumaki skin but will also include at least Doomfist as Saitama, One Punch Man himself.
Overwatch 2 season 3 kicked off February 7 and is expected to run through mid-April. The season will include another special event, PachiMarchi, which starts March 21.
