Overwatch 2 x Porsche Collaboration
Season 10 of Overwatch 2 marks an unprecedented partnership with Porsche, highlighted by a legendary D.Va skin inspired by the new Macan Electric vehicle. This collaboration will not only introduce a series of new cosmetics, including two legendary skins, but will also celebrate the synergy between D.Va’s character and the meticulous engineering behind Porsche vehicles. The design of D.Va’s mech draws inspiration from the Porsche Macan Electric, reflecting the vehicle’s innovative design language.
To commemorate this collaboration, a life-size statue of D.Va in her Porsche-inspired skin has been crafted by Onyx Forge Studios. This statue is currently on display at the Porsche Full Service installation in Brazos Hall, Austin, Texas, until March 12. Additionally, hints suggest that D.Va and her new look might appear at various gaming events throughout the year.
