Overwatch 2 fans are begging for a Warhammer 40K collab following the recent CoD x Warhammer 40K crossover.

Part of the appeal of online multiplayer games such as Fortnite, Overwatch, and Call of Duty is the ability to customize your character and deck them out with all the latest skins, weapons, and more.

As a way to further enhance excitement and bring in new players, major franchises often release new collabs with each other, merging two big gaming universes in a move that often brings about a ton of hype.

One of the most recent collabs to hit the gaming space is the Call of Duty and Warhammer 40K crossover. CoD’s latest IP crossover centers on Warhammer 40,000 as players can get skins for some of the more popular characters and fighters from the miniature tabletop wargame.

“Inspired by the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, Astra Militarum skins and more are coming to Call of Duty Warzone and MW3,” the Call of Duty social media account said.

In light of this, Overwatch 2 fans have taken to Reddit in the hopes of encouraging Blizzard to pitch a future Warhammer 40K  collaboration and introduce skins from the beloved franchise to their game as well. Especially given Activision and Blizzard fall under the same umbrella.

The initial post includes fan-made art of what the Warhammer 40K x Overwatch 2 collab could look like, with fellow Overwatch 2 fans voicing their support and excitement in the comments section.

One Redditor commented, “When I saw your title I thought to myself ‘can’t see that working’ but now after looking at your suggestions I very much like them!” Another Overwatch player commented, “also came here to express how impressed I am. Dude hit it on the money with every single one.”

Finally, another Overwatch 2 player wrote, “That actually goes so hard, but now that we said it they won’t do it.”
