When the Season 3 video for Overwatch 2, Blizzard’s shooter and hero game, debuted earlier this month, a collaboration between One-Punch Man and Overwatch 2 was revealed. The Season 3 blog post promised more incentives, including more skins, and the video showed off a Saitama-themed Doomfist skin.
The third season of the game’s One-Punch Man event runs from March 7 to April 6, 2023. Yesterday’s post on the Overwatch Twitter account unveiled a new skin for the collaboration. This skin for the hero Soldier: 76 damage is based on the OPM character Mumen Rider.
Read on to learn about the Mumen Rider Soldier 76 skin, which will be available in Overwatch 2 Season 3.
All about Mumen Rider Soldier 76 skin
Release date of Mumen Rider Soldier 76 skin
On March 7, 2023, the Mumen Rider Soldier 76 skin and the rest of the anime collaboration will be available. However, the Legendary skin level has been confirmed, which is defined as “winnable.” Therefore, getting the skin will require completing the event’s challenges.
While the tasks have not yet been determined, based on the pattern Blizzard has established, there will likely be some event-specific mode that players must participate in to earn the rewards.
The designers want to give players more control over the game modes as they finish the tasks. So, it will be fascinating to see how the event unfolds.
Details of Mumen Rider Soldier 76 skin
In Overwatch 2, Soldier 76’s skin looks precisely like Mumen Rider’s costume from the anime. The Soldier wears a black and brown battle suit accompanied by Mumen Rider’s metallic belt and signature green biker helmet. Mumen Rider is the ideal candidate for the Soldier 76 skin because he can sport the tactical visors of the Damage Hero and has the biker’s goggles.

Who is Mumen Rider?
Mumen Rider, one of the anime’s lesser-known heroes, first appears at the story’s beginning. He is neither the strongest nor the most beloved character in the series. However, the character has a reputation for being quite brave and is not afraid to take on opponents considerably stronger than him.
Overwatch 2 players may have been expecting the release of skins based on more well-known One-Punch Man characters, such as Tatsumaki and Fubuki, or even antagonists, such as Boros and Garou. Instead, however, they have to wait a bit longer.
Overwatch 2 Season 3
In addition, Blizzard has made an exclusive video for the Saitama Doomfist skin. As you can see, it will be the centerpiece of the event. On the other hand, it seems pretty likely that the Saitama skin will be available in the store now that it is known that players can get the Soldier 76 skin from Mumen Rider.
Overwatch 2 Season 3 has included a bunch of awesome-looking cosmetic items like:
- PachiMarchi’s Roadhog offering
- Hanzo’s outfit from the Ultimate Valentine event
- Battle Pass skins
All look amazing and will be excellent additions to the collection of all fans of the game.
