Doomfist can be actively tested on the PTR of Overwatch . However, one “little” detail seems to be missing – his skins.
The latest hero of Overwatch, Doomfist, is currently available for testing on the PTR – at least if you’re playing Blizzard’s hero shooter on PC. On PS4 and Xbox One, however, players are left waiting until the patch finally goes live.
In addition to the hero himself and his abilities, fans are also interested in all his cosmetic upgrades, which will include skins, voicelines, emotes, and other items later on. However, these elements are currently missing from the PTR.
No Doomfist Skins on the PTR, but a golden weapon
Anyone who wants to check out Doomfist in the hero gallery and has taken the effort to download the nearly 10 GB-sized PTR client will find only one thing unlockable: the golden weapon of Doomfist. It looks impressive and comes close to the weapon featured in the first cinematic of Overwatch.
However, data miners have already been diligent and found out that Doomfist will launch with a total of 67 cosmetic items. Moreover, there’s more to come: Since patch 1.13 will also bring the “Summer Games” event, Blizzard has planned for that as well. Doomfist will receive 4 additional items here, one of which will be a thematically appropriate skin.
But who would want to compete against Doomfist in shot put or javelin throw?
There is no specific release date for Doomfist yet. However, theories and speculations suggest that he will join Overwatch on July 25, and the Summer Games 2017 will begin a week later, on August 1. We will report as soon as there are fixed dates.
