Overwatch 2's Third One Punch Man Skin Is Tatsumaki, The Terrible Tornado
Blizzard has revealed the third Overwatch 2 skin coming as part of its One Punch Man crossover event, with support hero Kiriko getting a Terrible Tornado skin. The two previously announced skins were Mumen Rider Soldier 76 and Saitama Doomfist.
Revealed on Xbox Wire, the Legendary Terrible Tornado Kiriko skin will be part of a bundle costing 2,100 Coins (roughly $21 USD). The bundle will also include a Victory Pose and Name Card.
