Overwatch 2 Brings Back Avatar: The Last Airbender Collab

Avatar: The Last Airbender is back in Overwatch 2, bringing a second chance to unlock its six character skins: Aang Zenyatta, Appa Orisa, Katara Mei, Toph Venture, Suki Kiriko, and Zuko Genji. From now through December 29, fans can complete in-game challenges to earn Katara Mei or purchase the other Avatar: The Last Airbender skins from the Overwatch 2 cash shop.

On December 17, 2024, Overwatch 2 began an Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration as a part of Season 14. This crossover featured four Legendary and two Epic skins that transformed members of the Overwatch 2 roster into Avatar Aang and some of his closest allies.

Overwatch 2 x Avatar: The Last Airbender Returns

Now, almost exactly a year later, the Avatar: The Last Airbender collab has returned to Overwatch 2. Until December 30, players can purchase these five incredible Avatar: The Last Airbender skins from the Overwatch 2 cash shop once again, giving fans a second chance to obtain them before they go away indefinitely. Each skin can be purchased individually for 1900 Overwatch Coins (1000 for Suki Kiriko), in a character bundle that includes their matching Highlight Intros, Emotes, and other customizations for 2600 (2200 for Kiriko), or all together in the Mega Bundle for 5700 Overwatch Coins.

If that was not enough, Overwatch 2 also brought back the Avatar: The Last Airbender in-game challenges, which means players also have another opportunity to pick up the free Katara Mei skin and matching Waterbending emote. By playing games, dealing and healing damage, getting eliminations and assists, and using ultimates, fans can progress through these challenges to earn this skin and other Avatar: The Last Airbender-themed cosmetics, including a Souvenir, Name Card, the Cabbage Merchant Title, several Weapon Charms and Voice Lines, and 30,000 Battle Pass XP.

Unfortunately, unlike the rerun of the Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia crossover event, which added brand-new skins in the form of Garou Wuyang and Hellish Blizzard Ashe, the second Avatar: The Last Airbender collab has no new content. Gamers who were hoping to get any new skins for missing Avatar: The Last Airbender characters like Sokka or Azula, or to see heroes released this year like Freja or Wuyang get the AtLA treatment, will have to wait to see if Overwatch 2 ever does a proper sequel to the collaboration. That said, it at least did bring back the in-game challenges again, unlike the return of the Transformers crossover.

While working on these Avatar: The Last Airbender challenges, players can also keep progressing through the Winter Wonderland event during Overwatch 2 Season 20 as well. Through January 6, fans can earn Winter Wonderland Cookies by completing daily challenges, or special tasks associated with Winter Wonderland game modes like Mei’s Snowball Offensive, Yeti Hunt, or Mischief & Magic, which can then be spent on three different reward tracks that reward cosmetics, Loot Boxes, or Battle Pass Tier Skips. What’s more, on December 23, Mischief & Magic will get a Winter Wonderland makeover in which Kiriko gains special abilities based on her current disguise. Additionally, players can also get the meme-worthy Soldier 67 emote by playing 20 games this week.
