Overwatch 2 fans can get the Nihon Hanzo Epic skin and the Letter on the Wind Kiriko spray for free as Twitch drops right now. These cosmetics are being given away from now through June 24 to commemorate the start of Overwatch 2 Season 11.
Recently, Overwatch 2 began its 11th season. Called Super Mega Ultrawatch, Season 11 comes with a Power Rangers-esque Battle Pass refresh, the new Runasapi Push map, and a crossover with Transformers. As always, Overwatch 2 Season 11 also brought hero balance changes, including a nerf to Roadhog and the return of Cassidy’s Flashbang.
Blizzard Fans Should Keep an Eye on Gamescom 2024
Now that it is a part of Microsoft, Blizzard Entertainment is attending Gamescom 2024 for the first time ever as a part of the Xbox showcase.
To celebrate this new season, Overwatch 2 is giving away some awesome cosmetics. Until midday on June 25, players can watch three hours of any Overwatch 2 streamer on Twitch to earn the Letter on the Wind spray for Kiriko, and the Nihon Hanzo Epic skin for watching for four more hours after that. This skin is not always available for purchase with Overwatch Coins, so fans won’t want to miss out on this skin if they don’t have it yet.
How to Get Overwatch 2 Season 11 Twitch Drops
- Attach one’s Battle.net and Twitch accounts, then watch any streamers in the Overwatch 2 category through June 25 at 1:58 PM EDT to earn the following rewards:
- 3 Hours – Letter on the Wind Kiriko spray
- 7 Hours – Nihon Hanzo Epic skin
Nihon Hanzo was originally added in Overwatch 1 during the 2021 Summer Games event. Players could earn the skin for free during the in-game event, though the skin was later made available for purchase for 1000 Overwatch Coins – a $10 value – in subsequent years and offers. Featuring a stunning red-and-white color scheme and an intricate ginkgo branch pattern embroidered into it, this Epic skin shows off Hanzo’s Japanese heritage in a simple-yet-elegant way. Meanwhile, the charming Letter on the Wind Kiriko spray is a brand-new cosmetic drawn by OW2 fan Angela Ziegler, so fans should be sure to tune in on Twitch to make sure they get it.
Players who miss out on this first wave of Twitch Drops will have a second chance immediately after this campaign ends. From June 25 through June 30, players can get both of these cosmetics if they missed them on the first run. Additionally, they can pick up an icon drawn by Dani "OWGrandma" Ellis, that features an extra cute version of Rose Gold Mercy – a recolor of the popular Overwatch 2 skin that returned this season – during this second Twitch drop campaign.
Not long after, the Summer Games return to Overwatch 2 on July 9. With both it and the Transformers collab starting on the same day, players should be sure to save their Overwatch Coins to pick up any of the other new and returning cosmetics they might want.
