"Kiriko is dressed as a donut store employee, and even her fox spirit, which she casts out when she uses her ultimate, is carrying a pastry in its mouth. Cassidy hasn't fallen too far from his roots, as he's still depicted as a criminal, but as a fugitive on the run and dressed in prison orange. Ramattra is probably my favorite of the three, however; as the radical Omnic no longer has a war to wage, he has become a housekeeper."
"Pushing aside with all our might the fact that it sucks that this is a China-exclusive deal when Overwatch 2 is played all around the world, it's an exciting prospect, and thankfully, the competition has a hard ban on AI art. The team at Blizzard will get the final say in what ends up in the game, but fan voting has a chance to tip the scales."
A China-exclusive Overwatch 2 skin creation contest invites Chinese artists to submit costume concepts for potential inclusion in the game. The competition enforces a strict ban on AI-generated art and gives Blizzard final approval while allowing fan voting to influence selections. The theme imagines a timeline where the Omnic Crisis never happened, reimagining heroes in civilian roles. Leading fan favorites include Kiriko as a donut shop employee, Cassidy as a fugitive in prison orange, and Ramattra reinvented as a housekeeper. A Wuyang firefighter skin sits in second place, while other submissions range from on-theme reinventions to off-theme glamour designs.
