Adorably, the announcement trailer for the skins takes place on a ride that can only take place in the Overwatch universe's fictional Blizzardworld amusement park, which is also a level in the game.
It has been a weird year for Overwatch 2, with the long-running shooter doing better than you'd expect in some metrics and worse at others.
