Blizzard is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing by releasing themed skins for Overwatch characters. Starting April 29, Mercy, Reaper, Soldier: 76, and Ramattra will Donmech-inspired outfits, such as Mercy as Wing Zero. Art director Dion Rogers and product management director Aimee Dennett discussed the creative process and choices behind the skin design, emphasizing that these choices reflect both gameplay mechanics and cultural influences. The announcement highlights a strong collaboration with Bandai, showcasing the teamâs dedication to accurately representing the Gundam legacy while maintaining Overwatch's unique character identities.
As an example, we originally tried out Ana for Tallgeese since their weapons are similar, but it ended up not really working.
Gundam's been a major influence on culture and games, but it's also had a big influence on many of our artists.
