Overwatch 2 fans can download a huge new update on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.

The mid-season Overwatch 2 update introduces a brand new crossover with South Korean girl group Le Sserafim.

As part of the update, fans can grab new Legendary skins based on the pop act for Ashe, Mercy, Juno, D.Va, and Illari.

Elsewhere, the mid-season update lays the foundation for Overwatch Classic: GOATS, which begins on March 25.

Blizzard explains more: “This iconic meta defined an entire era of competitive play, proving that three tanks, three supports, and perfectly timed abilities could be the ultimate formula for victory.

“Whether you remember GOATS from its prime or are experiencing it for the first time, now’s your chance to relive one of Overwatch’s most influential moments that rewrote the rules of team play.”

Overwatch Classic GOATS adds Moira, Brigitte, and Wrecking Ball, as well as maps including Blizzard World, Rialto, and Busan.

Needless to say, the new mid-season update also makes a ton of balance changes and gameplay tweaks for various characters, which you can see in the patch notes below.
