Overwatch Is About To Reach Peak Cute With Sanrio Hello Kitty Collab

Overwatch is about to get a whole lot cuter, as adorable skins based on Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll will be the hero shooter's first collaboration for 2026.

The collab begins the same day as Overwatch 2026 Season 1 on February 10 and will last through the February 23. There are six skins in total, with many of the game's more popular female characters represented (plus Lucio). Despite Overwatch adding an actual cat hero, they are sadly not receiving a collab skin. The six skins and heroes receiving them are:

• Juno: Hello Kitty
• Kiriko: Cinnamoroll
• Mercy: Pompompurin
• D.Va: My Melody
• Widowmaker: Kuromi
• Lucio: Keroppi

While some Overwatch collabs see the game's heroes literally transform into iconic characters from another IP, these are a little less extreme. Juno, for example, is not literally Hello Kitty, but is rather wearing a Hello Kitty-themed outfit. Each skin is more inspired by their respective Sanrio character rather than being an exact copy of them.
