A new skin for the Overwatch hero Winston has been released. He will soon be tumbling through the game world as a dark gargoyle.
In a few days, the Overwatch anniversary will begin, as Blizzard’s hero shooter celebrates its third birthday. This means plenty of new skins and cosmetic items for players again. These skins will now be released gradually. After D.Va was already introduced yesterday with her “skin that will destroy the internet,” there is now a new skin for Winston.
Winston will be available as a gargoyle.
This is what Winston looks like as a gargoyle: The usually calm Winston has taken on significantly more demonic features with “Gargoyle Winston.” He has horns on his head (one of which is broken) and demonic red eyes. Generally, his facial expression looks anything but friendly. Additionally, there is plenty of rock making up his body and reddish glass pieces that remind one of Gothic architecture.
How do you get the new skins? The skins are available, as usual, from loot boxes that you can earn during the anniversary event or buy for real money. Alternatively, you will also be able to purchase the skins for credits if you have accumulated a large stock.
By the way, there is a “legendary” loot box available for free at the launch of the event. This contains at least one legendary item, which could directly yield the new Winston skin.
When does the event take place? The 3rd “Overwatch Anniversary” runs from May 21 (which is today!) to June 10, 2019. During the first week, the game is even free to play, in case you want to convince a few friends to join.
What do you think of this new Winston skin? Is it cool and fitting for the character? Or is it too dark for the friendly scientist Winston? How do you like the skin?
