Overwatch Teams Up With Talented Creators for Summer of Music

Music has always been an integral part of Overwatch. Each map location in the game has its own unique soundscape, meticulously crafted by the Blizzard Music team, that helps bring the atmosphere to life. We know that our players are also passionate about music, listening to many different genres and styles, as well as creating their own compositions.

With the recent release of the Overwatch: Cities & Countries music album, and the launch of Sigma’s Maestro Challenge in-game event earlier this week, we’d like to take Overwatch’s celebration of music even further and involve some incredible talent from across Europe for our Summer of Music.

We’ve teamed up with musical content creators and asked them to come up with their own versions, mixes, or covers of the songs from the Overwatch: Cities & Countries album and other signature Overwatch music. A beatbox crew, keyboard and guitar players, electronic dance music DJs, a multi-instrumentalist duo, and an electric quartet… people with varying styles and backgrounds and different creative approaches will come up with their own riffs on the game’s soundtrack. You can find out more about all the talented creators participating in Summer of Music below.

Throughout the next few weeks, these musicians will be publishing Overwatch content on their own channels, and we’ll be updating this page as it rolls out. Be sure to watch this space and follow the official Overwatch social media channels, as well as the below listed creators.

We’re excited to kick off Summer of Music today with an amazing beatbox performance from Berywam, a globally acclaimed international group, who’ve put their own spin on the game’s Victory music theme. You can check out the video here and below!

During our Summer of Music, you can also log in to Overwatch and take on Sigma’s Maestro Challenge from July 14-27 to earn exclusive player icons, a legendary emote, and the legendary Conductor Sigma skin. Watch participating content creators on Twitch to earn new sprays as well.

Remember to check out Overwatch: Cities & Countries, the soundtrack featuring music from various in-game locations, on playoverwatch.com/music.
