If you haven’t noticed, Blizzard sure does love to cross-promote its games through special edition extras. Encouraging players to explore the entire Blizzard ecosystem is a sound strategy to keep the money somewhere in the studio’s domain.
In this spirit, Overwatch has started to distribute digital goods in Blizzard’s other titles to players who have pre-purchased the Origins Edition of the upcoming multiplayer shooter through the Battle.net shop. The $60 edition includes a Baby Winston pet in World of Warcraft, Mercy’s Gaze wings in Diablo III, several player portraits in Starcraft II, Tracer as a playable character in Heroes of the Storm, and an Overwatch card backing for Hearthstone.
The edition also includes Origins skins for Overwatch, which will unlock when the game goes live. Players who pre-ordered somewhere else or who might elect to wait to buy until a later date can nab these digital items on or after the game’s May 24th launch.
