Overwatch
The Overwatch online game franchise has grown exponentially since the release of Overwatch 1 in 2016. Overwatch 2, the latest game version released in October 2022, took the gaming experience even further by allowing gameplay in traditional first-person shooter game modes, as well as, hero-based battles between two vying teams, showcasing a robust roster of 35 playable heroes.
Released for a wide range of new gaming platforms, from Windows PC to Xbox, the Overwatch gaming craze is taking over the world like an unstoppable tsunami. The upcoming Overwatch World Cup 2023 is scheduled for Fall 2023 and has added fuel to the fire. The Group stage will begin in October among 16 teams competing from across the world in a LAN event, and eight winners will proceed to knockouts. The Overwatch World Cup is a single-elimination tournament where the winning team receives impressive monetary awards.
The game story follows the struggles and fierce battles of the formerly disbanded elite combat group Overwatch against threats emerging against humanity. The Overwatch members include a diverse range of characters portraying the futuristic Earth society, ranging from humans to cyborgs to completely non-humans.
Collectables from the Overwatch series include the character action figures and the fierce weapons they wield in their battles. The Funko POP collectable figures of Overwatch characters are also very popular among the fans. On the Otakuninjahero platform, leading the pack in ratings are the uber-cute POP figures of Tracer and Symmetra, wearing their iconic costumes and distinct glasses. These character collectable figures come in window box packing for easy and safe display.
The Dragonblade katana wielded by Genji, Overwatch’s Japanese cyborg ninja hero, is one of the most in-demand weapons collectable from the series. Available in both metal and cosplay foam, the Dragonblade sword is an iconic piece of weaponry for Overwatch lovers. Every Overwatch weapon collectable features all the details of the original with dulled edges for safe handling and display.
