Overwatch and Stellar Blade have announced the "EVE Protocol" collaboration event, scheduled for November 4, 2026. Both parties simultaneously released the collaboration's key visual. The full event details and skin lineup have not yet been revealed.
The key visual features Stellar Blade characters Eve, Lily, Raven, Tachy, and Adam, but the developers have not yet confirmed which Overwatch heroes they correspond to. Based on their appearances, some speculate that Tachy might correspond to Vendetta, Lily to D.Va, and Adam to Soldier: 76, though none of these associations have been officially confirmed.
Previous Overwatch collaborations have typically featured crossover characters as hero skins, without adding the original characters as independent playable heroes. Therefore, this collaboration is also expected to take place within Overwatch, but the specific format remains to be officially announced.
Stellar Blade, developed by SHIFT UP, is known for its character designs and costumes. Eve, Lily, and Raven previously participated in a collaboration with Goddess of Victory: Nikke. Currently, the developers have only confirmed the collaborating parties, event name, key visual lineup, and date. Details regarding the skin list, acquisition methods, and event rules are yet to be announced.
