"Prepare to serve the Horde or fight alongside the Alliance as we celebrate 20 years of World of Warcraft with the Overwatch x Warcraft collaboration, coming later in Season 12," the post stated, possibly hinting at Alliance skins in Overwatch 2 as well. The announcement then gave players a first look at Widowmaker Sylvanas. Sylvanas herself was once the Warchief of the Horde.

In the image, we can see that she's in the Blizzard World map in Overwatch 2. Widowmaker is also carrying a customized sniper rifle as opposed to Sylvanas' arrow.

More Overwatch 2 World of Warcraft skins

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.
