Blizzard surprises fans with a new collaboration between Overwatch 2 and K-pop group Le Sserafim. The highly anticipated event, starting on November 1st, will introduce five new skins for heroes Brigitte, D.Va, Kiriko, Sombra, and Tracer. However, the biggest surprise comes in the form of a sixth skin for an unexpected hero—Junkrat.
The newly revealed Legendary Fawksey James Junkrat skin showcases the explosive Australian DPS hero as a devoted K-pop fan, dressed head-to-toe in vibrant purple and pink attire. Blizzard has hinted that players will have the opportunity to earn this skin without spending any money, suggesting that it will be obtainable through event-specific challenges.
To participate in the event and potentially unlock the Fawksey James Junkrat skin, players will likely need to complete a series of event-specific challenges. These challenges often encourage players to try out limited-time game modes, such as the Concert Clash mode introduced in the Le Sserafim collab event.
Concert Clash is a thrilling three-vs-three capture-the-flag mode set in a revamped version of the Busan control map. The event trailer showcases Busan transformed with Le Sserafim imagery and includes jump pads to help players reach higher ground.
The inclusion of Junkrat in the Le Sserafim collab event may come as a surprise to some, as he was not previously featured or hinted at in Blizzard’s marketing for the collaboration. Speculation among fans suggested that Ashe might receive a skin in this event, given the resemblance between an omnic security guard in Le Sserafim’s “Perfect Night” music video and her loyal sidekick B.O.B. However, it seems that those hoping for a “security detail” Ashe skin will have to wait for another opportunity.
Overall, Overwatch 2’s collaboration with Le Sserafim promises an exciting event filled with new skins and challenges. Players can look forward to earning the Fawksey James Junkrat skin and immersing themselves in the Concert Clash game mode on the revamped Busan map.
