A new short story reveals a fresh skin for the healer Mercy from Overwatch. It will soon be available to earn.
Update: The event is now live, and you can earn the skin. You have until December 2 to do so.
Original report: The developers of Overwatch have introduced a new skin for Mercy. However, it has received a “middling” response from fans. It seems as though the developers simply stopped working on the lower half of the skin. It is hard to explain why Mercy wears armor shoes but otherwise has a rather “casual” outfit as a doctor.
Where does the skin come from? Mercy’s new outfit appeared in a short story by Blizzard. The English Twitter account of Overwatch shared the short story ‘Valkyrie’, which provides some background on Mercy, Soldier: 76, Ana, and other characters. It mainly focuses on Mercy and her motivations for joining Overwatch and how she became who she is. At the very end of the story, the image of the new skin can be seen.
How to get the skin? The skin can now be earned in Overwatch. Players have until December 2 to achieve 9 victories in Overwatch to receive the skin. Simply win in 9 modes of your choice, and you will get the skin credited – with 3 victories, you’ll receive a profile picture, and with 6 victories, new spray logos.
What do the fans say? Most players are happy that Mercy is getting a new skin. However, there is also some criticism, especially regarding the shoes. The armored shoes do not match the rest of the skin and mar the appearance. It would be better if the entire outfit had a “casual” look, and that includes the feet.
What do you think of the new Mercy skin? Do you like it, or do you find it boring?
