Overwatch 2: One of the rarest and most exclusive skins could return, but fans are upset

Over the years, Overwatch has received a lot of skins for all its characters. While there are some that are harder to get due to being tied to the OW League or the Battle Pass, most are still available for purchase in the store or in the Heroes Gallery. However, there is one very rare and exclusive skin: Pink Mercy. Will he return in the foreseeable future?

In case you don’t know, Pink Mercy is a skin that debuted in 2018 as part of a charity campaign. Specifically, users could get it if they donated $15 USD to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that conducts research to develop treatments and find a cure for breast cancer.

The skin was available for a limited time with all proceeds going to the foundation. According to reports, Blizzard Entertainment raised more than $12.7 million at that time with the support of players, which means that the charity campaign was a success. Since then, he has not returned and it is unknown if he ever will.

Will Pink Mercy return to Overwatch 2 as a Prime Gaming reward?

While many players want the Pink Mercy outfit to return, they hope it does as part of a new charity campaign. For that reason, the community criticized Blizzard this week when a video suggested the skin might be back as a reward for Amazon Prime subscribers.

What happens is that the Prime Gaming account on Twitter shared a clip promoting the new rewards of Overwatch 2 to which the subscribers of the service will be creditors. At one point in the footage, she briefly looks at Mercy’s appearance, leading the community to believe that she will return.

Prime Gaming’s new bundle will only give away one epic outfit for Junkrat, so it’s unclear why the Mercy skin was shown. Either way, the community expressed their displeasure, so Amazon had to delete the video after backlash from fans.

It is possible that Blizzard intended to offer this charity outfit in a future Prime Gaming bundle. If so, you may back off and reconsider your plans.

But tell us, what do you think of this situation? Do you think the community overreacted? Do you think it would be in bad taste to give away the skin to charity? Let us read you in the comments.

Overwatch 2 is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. You can read more news related to him if you visit this page.
