You can now access the Overwatch x NieR: Automata collaboration, which introduces a range of Project YoRHa-inspired skins to the game. The crossover adds new cosmetic options that let you customize select heroes with designs based on characters from NieR: Automata.
If you plan to expand your collection, you will also find specific methods to unlock each skin during the event period. Knowing what is available and how to obtain it will help you decide which rewards to pursue before the collaboration ends.
Overwatch NieR Automata skins
You can equip five legendary crossover skins inspired by NieR: Automata, each mapped to a specific Overwatch hero:
- Kiriko as 2B
- Wuyang as 9S
- Vendetta as A2
- Mercy as Commander White
- Lifeweaver as Adam
Blizzard selected these pairings to reflect shared themes between Project YoRHa and the Overwatch roster. Each hero mirrors the android they represent through discipline, sacrifice, or moral conflict.
When you play 2B Kiriko, you step into the role of a steadfast protector. Her composed presence and focus on defending others align with 2B’s calm, mission‑driven identity.
A2 Vendetta highlights defiance and controlled anger. You see that intensity in her aggressive stance and battle-worn styling, which reinforce a rebellious edge.
9S Wuyang carries a tactical and analytical tone. The design emphasizes precision and technical detail rather than ornamentation.
Commander White Mercy presents authority and restraint, while Adam Lifeweaver adopts a clean, philosophical aesthetic. Across all five skins, sharp silhouettes and minimal embellishment communicate duty first, comfort second, placing mission priority at the center of the visual design.
How to unlock all Overwatch NieR Automata skins
You can access every NieR: Automata crossover skin through the in-game shop starting March 10. Blizzard classifies all five cosmetics as Legendary, so you unlock them using Overwatch Coins.
You have three purchase options: the full collaboration bundle, individual hero bundles, or direct unlocks through the Hero Gallery.
| Skin | Unlock Options | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 2B Kiriko | Mega Bundle / Kiriko Hero Bundle / Hero Gallery | 6,900 / 2,800 / 1,900 Coins |
| 9S Wuyang | Mega Bundle / Wuyang Hero Bundle / Hero Gallery | 6,900 / 2,800 / 1,900 Coins |
| A2 Vendetta | Mega Bundle / Vendetta Hero Bundle / Hero Gallery | 6,900 / 2,800 / 1,900 Coins |
| Commander White Mercy | Mega Bundle / Mercy Hero Bundle / Hero Gallery | 6,900 / 2,800 / 1,900 Coins |
| Adam Lifeweaver | Mega Bundle / Lifeweaver Hero Bundle / Hero Gallery | 6,900 / 2,800 / 1,900 Coins |
If you want every skin, buy the Mega Bundle for 6,900 Coins. This option groups all five crossover cosmetics into one package.
If you only play certain heroes, choose that hero’s dedicated bundle for 2,800 Coins. Each bundle focuses on a single character and centers on their themed skin.
You can also skip bundles and unlock any skin directly from the Hero Gallery for 1,900 Coins each. This method works well if you only want one cosmetic and no extras.
Overwatch NieR Automata event
You can jump into a limited-time Overwatch x Project YoRHa event running from March 10 to March 24. The update adds a themed lobby created in collaboration with Kimihiko Fujisaka and Koda Kazuma.
During the event, you compete in standard matches while progressing through special challenges. Completing them unlocks cosmetic rewards tied to the crossover.
Available rewards include:
- Name cards
- A unique player title
- A themed weapon charm
All progress tracks within the event window, so you need to play before it ends.
