Widowmaker Sylvanas may be joined by a either a Lich King hero skin or weapon skin as well. This is because near the end of the Overwatch 2 Season 12 launch trailer, a shadowy figure is seen wielding the Frostmourne weapon from the World of Warcraft universe. Additionally, Sylvanas herself has a history with Arthas. In World of Warcraft, Arthas later became the Lich King.
The Overwatch 2 Widowmaker Sylvanas skin is not Blizzard's first foray into a World of Warcraft crossover, either. In the past, the Overwatch franchise featured Illidan Genji and Tyrande Symmetra as part of BlizzCon exclusives.
