Summary
AnOverwatch 2fan recently leaked dozens of new skin ideas they received in a Blizzard survey. While there is no guarantee these skins will appear inOverwatch 2, the concepts would be incredible additions to the Hero Gallery if they did.
Though primarily a competitive PvP shooter, cosmetics inOverwatchare nearly as important to many players as the mechanics of the game itself–especially skins. Blizzard has added hundreds of them to the game over the years, and eachnew season inOverwatch 2brings over a dozen skinsspread across the shop, Battle Pass, and in-game events.
Recently,Reddit user Transflection shared a collection of imagesthat suggestOverwatch 2could be cooking up a bunch of new skins. These pictures, sent to them via a survey from Blizzard, depict dozens of concepts for newOverwatch 2skins. From modern fashion to high fantasy, these incredible skin ideas render the heroes ofOverwatch 2in some unique ways. According to Transflection, the survey asked them if the theme of the skins was clear and cohesive, if they played the characters in the images, and if they would buy them.
Overwatch 2 Skin Concepts
It is important to note that these skins are only concepts for the time being. There is no guarantee some, or even any, of theseskins will be added toOverwatch 2in the future. That said, Transflection shared screenshots of the email they received, so the concept art is almost certainly official, meaning players could potentially see these skins in the future.
Fans immediately fell in love with many of these skin concepts. The Chinese panda Mauga skin and the Harajuku style skins got an especially vocal amount of love from the near-400 comments Transflection’s post received. However, some viewed the gallery with more skepticism, criticizing thecost ofOverwatch 2cosmetics, lamenting that many of these concepts probably won’t make it into the game, or pointing out the favoritism shown by Kiriko getting six concepts out of the 44 in the gallery.
Either way,Overwatch 2fans are going to have some awesome skins to look forward to in the future. At BlizzCon,Overwatch 2teased an Eldritch Horror, Mirror Universe, and Egyptian mythology themes for some of the game’s future seasons, leading fans to already begin guessing which heroes will be highlighted during these content periods. While none of these skin concepts seem to fit those upcoming themes, players could still see them there, or in the other seasons coming toOverwatch 2in 2024.
