Many fans may have already noticed the first hints, but Blizzard Entertainment has now officially confirmed the collaboration between Overwatch and YOASOBI.

Overwatch x YOASOBI officially begins on June 30
The Overwatch x YOASOBI collaboration will arrive with new story content created specifically for this event.
The first teaser image shows the Shimada brothers during the period when Genji was still human. This already gives fans a strong story hook, especially for players who follow the relationship between Genji and Hanzo.
The event will also include special skins for Kiriko, Genji, and Hanzo, 3 Japanese characters from the Overwatch roster. Other characters will also receive collaboration-related content.
Of course, one of the biggest highlights is the new theme song from YOASOBI. A music video will also be released, giving both Overwatch fans and YOASOBI listeners more to enjoy during the event.
About Overwatch
Overwatch is a free-to-play first-person action shooter available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The game features team-based PvP tactical shooter gameplay with 5v5 and 6v6 formats. Players choose from a large roster of heroes, each with unique abilities, combat roles, and playstyles.
The game continues to receive new heroes, seasonal hero reworks, free updates, new content through the Battle Pass, and crossplay support across platforms.
About YOASOBI
YOASOBI is a Japanese music duo from Sony Music Entertainment.
The group is known for its concept of turning novels into music. Its members are Rira Ikuta, the main vocalist, and Ayase, a vocaloid music producer.
Since beginning in 2019, YOASOBI has become one of Japan’s most recognizable modern music acts. With this collaboration, fans can now look forward to seeing how the duo’s musical identity connects with the world of Overwatch.
THIS IS our take
Overwatch x YOASOBI feels like a strong collaboration because it brings together stylish hero-based action and one of Japan’s most popular modern music acts. The focus on Kiriko, Genji, and Hanzo also makes sense because it connects naturally with the Japanese identity of the event. If the new song and music video deliver the same energy YOASOBI fans expect, this collaboration could become one of Overwatch’s most memorable music-driven events.
