Overwatch’s Nier: Automata Collab Arrives, but No Voice Lines and Higher Price Than the Action RPG Spark Player Frustration: “Hello Kitty Got More Than These Folks

The Overwatch x Nier: Automata (Project YoRHa) crossover has definitely drawn attention, even if some fans are underwhelmed by the execution. Key points:

Skins included: A2 (Vendetta), 2B (Kiriko), 9S (Wuyang), Commander White (Mercy), and Adam (Lifeweaver), each with unique emotes and victory poses.

What’s missing: No unique voice lines, no special visual effects (VFX) or sound effects (SFX), and no highlight intros, which has disappointed some players.

Price concerns: The bundle costs 6,900 Overwatch coins (~$69.99), which is higher than some players expected—one Redditor pointed out it costs more than some full games.

Despite complaints about polish and price, the collab seems popular and financially successful. Fans note that sales are almost guaranteed given Nier: Automata’s massive fanbase and continued cultural presence, including live tours, collabs, and merchandise. The event also includes challenges for extra rewards and runs until March 23, 2026.

From a business standpoint, Blizzard seems to have scored a win, even if hardcore fans feel the bundle could’ve had more care put into it.
