In a second that’s decidedly inevitable, Overwatch will undertake a collaboration with a Ok-Pop group that features a new recreation mode and themed in-game objects, together with Legendary hero skins. The k-pop group Le Sserafim, fashioned in 2022, might be debuting a single referred to as Excellent Night time on October 26, and can come to Overwatch shortly after.
The musicians launched a brief teaser for the music video that sees all of them sporting distinctive riffs on D.Va’s mecha pilot headset. Although not, within the apparent transfer, sporting the jumpsuit itself. Which I assume is a small mercy weighed in opposition to the full-on company branding of the entire thing.
The total particulars might be revealed on Monday, October 30, 2023, and the sport options will go reside on November 1. Le Sserafim can even seem at Blizzcon on November 4 if you would like a bit Ok-Pop along with your conference go to.
“One of many quickest rising Ok-pop teams on the planet, this fearless group of 5 (KIM CHAEWON, SAKURA, HUH YUNJIN, KAZUHA, and HONG EUNCHAE) deliver their abilities to Overwatch 2 this season,” stated Blizzard in a weblog put up.
Blizzard’s video games have lengthy been extraordinarily fashionable in South Korea, with the unique StarCraft basically originating what’s now the fashionable esports scene there within the late 90s and early 2000s. Their reputation there has by no means really died, and Overwatch’s launch got here full with D.Va, a personality whose complete factor was that she was a professional gamer turned mecha pilot.
In gentle of that, it is surprising that Blizzard has taken this lengthy to do an in-game, non-nerd musical crossover occasion after Fortnite wildly popularized the thought with issues like that wild Travis Scott live performance again in 2020.
