Overwatch is teaming up with K-pop group Le Sserafim for a third collaboration, bringing new character skins, emotes and music to the game. This instalment also expands the focus to newer heroes and includes a male character for the first time in the partnership.

Six heroes join the Made My Night event
The new skins arrive on September 12, the same day as this year’s BlizzCon, where Le Sserafim is scheduled to perform. The featured heroes are Mizuki, Freja, D.Mon, Anran, Sierra and Moira.
Each hero will also receive a new emote. The game has not confirmed the details of those animations, but they are expected to connect with Le Sserafim’s new single, Made My Night. The release is being issued as six different CDs, with one of the six heroes featured on each disc.
A new music video is planned for September 10. Like the group’s previous collaborations with the game, it is expected to bring the featured heroes together, although the video’s full details have not been announced.

Mizuki and Moira broaden the lineup
Mizuki stands out as the first male hero included in the Le Sserafim collaborations. The earlier two events focused on female characters, so his inclusion gives the latest crossover a broader cast. Moira is another unexpected choice, showing that the event’s visual style is not limited to the game’s most obvious pop-culture fits.
For readers who follow arcade and gaming news, this is another example of how character-driven games are using music partnerships to extend their identity beyond gameplay. It also adds a useful reminder that a strong crossover can draw on a wide range of characters rather than relying only on familiar favourites.
YOASOBI collaboration preceded the crossover
The Le Sserafim event is Overwatch’s second music collaboration of 2026. Earlier in the year, the game worked with Japanese pop duo YOASOBI on character skins and the song Orion, which was inspired by support hero Kiriko.
