This cryptic post lines up with recent leaks from Overwatch 2 insiders, including X user OWCavalry, who pointed out that the game’s roadmap for Season 16 includes multiple collaborations. This means a Gundam Wing event could be one of them.

That said, not everyone is convinced. Since the post dropped on April Fools’ Day, some fans suspect it could just be a playful interaction with no real announcement behind it.

However, with the Gundam Wing anniversary right around the corner, Blizzard could confirm the collaboration any day now. For now, fans are left waiting to see if this was just a fun shoutout or a legit teaser for a full-fledged event. Either way, excitement is building at the thought of Gundam Wing's legendary mechs coming to the Overwatch 2 battlefield.
