NBA star Luka Dončić nets Overwatch 2 collab after years of fandom and a top-500 skillset

Some people really do have it all, huh? Kind of like Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić, who’s a shooter both on and off the court.

Dončić already sports a salary of over $50 million a year in the NBA where he’s a five-time All-Star on one of the league’s biggest teams, but he’s also a prolific FPS player. And now, he’ll be joining forces with one of his favorite games.

Blizzard Entertainment has revealed a collab with Dončić coming in season 18 of Overwatch 2 tomorrow, but details are being kept under wraps for now. The image above posted by Blizzard on socials today makes it seem as though he will be helping to advertise the game’s unique Stadium mode.

“Think you’re a sharpshooter like Luka Dončić?” Blizzard said. “Earn exclusive Luka rewards and try out his custom Stadium builds when you hop into Season 18 TOMORROW.”

Unique builds are part of the allure of Stadium, which features upgradeable hero abilities and stats throughout the round-based mode, which also allows players to play in a third-person perspective. It dropped earlier this year, and it is genuinely pretty fun and a different-feeling take on the game.

Dončić previously revealed via Instagram that he had reached top 500 ranking in one of OW2’s previous seasons, which is nothing to scoff at, especially considering the 26-year-old also happens to be one of the best basketball players in the entire world. He also made headlines when popping up in a ranked game with streamer m0xy, so he is not new to the OW2 scene.

But what are these “exclusive Luka rewards”? We’ll likely have to wait until tomorrow for more information, but he’s definitely got some time to kill before the Lakers begin their 2025-2026 NBA season on Oct. 21 at home against the Golden State Warriors.
