An Overwatch 2 enthusiast ingeniously reimagined Doomfist as Kratos from God of War. Doomfist, a prominent antagonist in the Overwatch 2 narrative, is characterized by his ruthless employment of violence and force to accomplish his objectives, often at the expense of innocent lives. Renowned for his exceptional combat skills and natural leadership, he swiftly ascended the ranks within Talon, eventually assuming leadership of the nefarious organization. Despite his villainous nature, Doomfist shares certain surface-level similarities with Kratos, notably their imposing physical stature and penchant for going shirtless. Capitalizing on this intriguing resemblance, a dedicated Overwatch 2 fan crafted a captivating skin for Doomfist, seamlessly merging the worlds of Overwatch and God of War.
A post by Reddit user ElDrGoku on the Overwatch 2 subreddit unveiled their latest Doomfist skin creation. Following the trend of other Overwatch 2 skins, this redesign maintains Doomfist’s original proportions and silhouette but incorporates Kratos’ clothing, facial features, warpaint, and other distinctive elements. The community response was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenters expressing admiration for ElDrGoku’s skill in crafting the skin. Some even suggested that it could be considered for inclusion as an event skin in the future. Due to the close resemblance between the Kratos reskin and Doomfist, speculation arose among users that this particular skin might fall into the epic tier rather than the legendary tier.

While numerous users expressed their enthusiasm for the addition of the skin to the game, some pointed out the improbable nature of such a crossover. The obstacle lies in Microsoft’s acquisition of the Overwatch franchise, following its purchase of Activision Blizzard, while Sony owns the God of War franchise and is a significant competitor to Microsoft. Nevertheless, this didn’t dampen the excitement among fans, who found the crossover skin more thematically fitting than initially apparent.
In the recent God of War games, Kratos has undergone a significant transformation, adopting a calmer demeanor compared to his earlier, more ruthless actions. Over the course of the God of War franchise, Kratos evolved from a bloodthirsty warrior, demonstrated in flashbacks from 2005’s God of War, who pursued victory at any cost without concern for collateral damage – a parallel to Doomfist’s lore.
Through Overwatch 2‘s voice lines, it becomes apparent that Doomfist is cognizant of his past actions, some of which are considered atrocities. Doomfist subscribes to the belief that tearing down and rebuilding the world is necessary for a better humanity, even if it means sacrificing innocents for a brighter future. This lack of empathy for the average person draws a poignant parallel to Kratos’ early days.
