Although Overwatch 2 has been struggling to match its predecessor, it has seen considerable improvement in terms of its cosmetic design. There have been multiple crossovers when it comes to skins, such as the One Punch Man drop earlier this year.
And the team at Blizzard Entertainment seems in no mood to slow down the crossovers and collaborations. A small 25-second teaser has been circulating on the internet which hints at a possible crossover between Overwatch and a KPOP group.
The video is for the group’s upcoming album and features a futuristic car. The Overwatch logo can be seen making a brief cameo in the video on the rear bumper of the car. This has led to fans speculating if a crossover of some sort could be coming up between Le Sserafim and Overwatch.

Le Sserafim is a K-pop group that made its debut in 2022. The group, which is an anagram for “I’m Fearless,” is a five-member group with a few hits to their credit. They released their first full album in May 2023.
Other Games which have collaborated with KPOP artists
If the Overwatch 2 and Le SSerafim collaboration is legit happening, it will add to the list of games and KPOP collaborations. In the past several games as well as esports tournaments have collaborated with various KPOP artists. Here’s a look at some of them:
TWICE x Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact’s creators have in the past collaborated with KPOP girl group TWICE. In one of the regions of miHoYo’s game, Inazuma, fans spotted the logo of TWICE. A quest in Seirai Island’s Amakumo Peak featured a wooden door with a logo familiar to that of TWICE everywhere.
BLACKPINK x PUBG
BLACKPINK officially collaborated with the popular battle royale game PUBG: Battlegrounds. The collaboration started in July 2021 and went on till the end of the year, recording a good five month long run.
It introduced different cosmetics such as outfits, hairstyles, weapon skins, and so much more based on the girl band members Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie.
TWICE, Soyeon and Miyeonx League of Legends
The craze of KPOP is so widespread that League of Legends has its own in-game KPOP girl band named K/DA. The virtual band consists of League of Legends characters Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, and Seraphine. The voices of these characters, however, keep changing.
The group has been voiced by American singers Madison Beer and Jaira Burns alongside (G)I-DLE members Soyeon and Miyeon in the past. In 2020, Twice voiced a fictional song of the band named “I’ll Show You” which also featured Bekuh Boom, and Annika Wells.
Minnie x Valorant
Minnie from girl group (G)I-DLE released a track for the online shooter game Valorant. The song titled, “Making Waves,” was produced in collaboration with Dutch DJ Don Diablo, and was the anthem song for Riot Games’ Pacific Division of Valorant’s esports global league, Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) this year.
Besides these games, esports organizations and teams have also collaborated with the KPOP band. The most notable of these is esports team T1’s collaboration with the world-famous KPOP sensation BTS. The two collaborated for a web show named “Run BTS.”
