Nier: Automata continues in a new Overwatch collab

Blizzard starts funding the next decade of Overwatch with new Kiriko and Vendetta skins Overwatch's next big crossover collaboration will bring the characters of Nier: Automata to Blizzard Entertainment's hero shooter, featuring Kiriko as 2B, Vendetta as A2, and Wuyang as 9S. Blizzard and Square Enix's new collab goes live on Tuesday, March 10. Also included as part of the Overwatch x Project YoRHa collection are skins that imagine Lifeweaver as Adam and Mercy as Commander White. Naturally, the choices for characters on both sides of the collaboration aren't too surprising, given the number of skins that fan-favorite characters like Kiriko and Mercy receive, but Overwatch and Nier fans are likely wondering where the Emil-Wrecking Ball or Pascal-Bastion combo is. At least the Pods get some love: 2B Kiriko and 9S Wuyang are paired with Pod 042 and Pod 153, respectively. But even those fans clamoring for more Nier representation can't deny the financial impact of bringing beloved android 2B to a video game — something that's been proven by 2B's previous guest appearances in Soulcalibur 6, Fall Guys, Final Fantasy 14, Rainbow Six Siege, Gravity Rush 2, Stellar Blade, Monster Hunter Fro
