An Overwatch 2 x Sea of Thieves collaboration?
Is Overwatch 2 getting a Sea of Thieves collaboration? On April 14, Blizzard announced that folks will soon be able to access Sea of Thieves through the Battle.net app. The adventure game will get an icon on Battle.net on May 22.
In celebration of this, players with the premium edition of Sea of Thieves will receive in-game items. These items will include five sails, and one of them will feature the Overwatch 2 logo.
Therefore, while it might look like a crossover from the Overwatch 2 side, the announcement is mainly about Sea of Thieves sailing into the Battle.net app. If you happen to be a Sea of Thieves fan with a soft spot for Blizzard’s franchises, then this collaboration may be of greater interest.
In addition to the Overwatch 2 sail, the others appear to represent Diablo 4, Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, and, of course, Battle.net itself.
