Overwatch 2 heroes canonically cosplay anime characters, apparently.
Blizzard has a canonical reason for why its Overwatch 2 heroes are wearing the upcoming One Punch Man costumes., Overwatch 2 art director Dion Rogers said that the characters don't become One Punch Man characters when they use the crossover skins, they're just big fans.
“That’s our approach; that our heroes are basically aware of the anime and are fans too. And they’re cosplaying as the heroes," Rogers said."So when you see Doomfist wearing the Saitama outfit, he’s a fan too.” The hero shooter's wall-climbing support character Kiriko will get a skin based on Tatsumaki, or Terrible Tornado. The skin swaps her outfit to black and gives her green hairlike the psychic One Punch Man character.
Overwatch 2 takes place sometime around 2077 and Kiriko is in her early 20s, which suggests One Punch Man fandom held strong for over 60 years in this universe. I would have guessed Neon Genesis Evangelion would be the one to survive that long. Doomfist and Soldier: 76 are much older than Kiriko, so I can see why they would dress up as One Punch Man characters.
Rogers also said that many people on the Overwatch 2 team love One Punch Man, which was what compelled them to chase this collaboration.
