An Overwatch 2 fan has created a concept for what a Masters of the Universe Skeletor crossover would potentially entail with Reaper, one of the game's deadliest close-range damage heroes. Currently in the midst of its ninth season, Overwatch 2 has added a mythic Moira skin as part of its Eldritch Horror Battle Pass, and has revamped Competitive Play, resetting everyone's progress and adding the Champion rank.
Overwatch 2 is no stranger to fun collaborations with other popular entertainment franchises. Since its 2022 launch, Overwatch 2 has teamed up with One-Punch Man and South Korean pop group LE SSERAFIM to bring a lineup of interesting crossover skins to the game. Most recently, Overwatch 2 has announced a new collab with another popular anime franchise, Cowboy Bebop, which will include skins for Cassidy, Ashe, Mauga, Wrecking Ball, and Sombra, as well as an amalgamation of other small items like sprays, emotes, and more.
Overwatch 2 Reveals Crossover with Porsche
Blizzard reveals that the next big Overwatch 2 crossover event will see the hero shooter crossing paths with luxury car brand Porsche.
One Overwatch 2 fan has an idea for another interesting collaboration, this time with the 1980s sci-fi franchise Masters of the Universe. On Instagram, overwatch.madskillz posted a concept of what a Skeletor skin for Reaper would look like. The impressive skin is very similar to the classic purple Skeletor look, with blue skin and his iconic skull head. Reaper's dual shotguns resemble hellish demon beast skulls, complete with horns, teeth, and red eyes. The post also includes a look at a Skeletor player icon, and a spray called "Disturbing Fact", which depicts Skeletor in a pose from the popular meme.
The voice line that's also included in overwatch.madskillz's Instagram post largely sounds exactly like Reaper's original voice. When Skeletor joined the roster of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 late last year, he fittingly came with his original voice from the 1980s show. Since this is a skin for a well-established Overwatch character, it would be strange for Skeletor's original voice to take the place of Reaper's. Beneath the post, commenters discussed which Overwatch character would be best suited to become Masters of the Universe's hero, He-Man, if a collaboration does come to fruition. Soldier: 76, Cassidy, and Reinhardt seemed to have led the conversation.
What's Coming Up Next For Overwatch 2?
Overwatch 2's crossover with Cowboy Bebop is set to begin on March 12. With Overwatch 2 approaching the midway mark of Season 9, Season 10 is expected to begin sometime in early April, so fans should keep an eye out for official details in the following weeks. Venture, Overwatch's 40th hero, is expected to headline Season 10 and will be the first DPS hero added to the game since Sojourn in 2022.
