The unexpected crossover bringing Overwatch heroes to Fortnite has been announced for May 14, featuring D.Va, Tracer, Genji, and Mercy. This move, marking Overwatch's 10th anniversary after a soft reboot, feels like a late and desperate attempt to leverage Fortnite's popularity. The blend of styles, however, leaves much to be desired, with Fortnite's art style clashing with Overwatch's signature look.
