The latest skin of Ana causes a lot of disturbance. The “Tal” outfit gives players in Overwatch moments of horror.
If you want to put Overwatch and “horror” or “creepy” in a sentence, you really need to try hard. The creepiest part is probably Reaper’s bad “edgelord” quotes. But there is a new queen of horror that surpasses all others: Ana.
Meanwhile, there are numerous players complaining about the latest patch “Year of the Rooster”. In this patch, Ana got her new “Tal” skin, which depicts her wearing a traditional Korean Talchum mask often used in performances.
Many players find the skin uninspired and simply creepy. Especially in combination with her “Shh…” highlight intro, she appears particularly eerie. Not at all like a friendly healer, but rather a cruel killer who is going to take her victim to the torture chamber – just for fun.
The reactions on Twitter are consequently mixed. Many players fear the new skin and swear, “If this ever comes together with the highlight intro, I will throw my PC out of the window.”
Other players find the skin really cool, precisely because it is creepy.
Some players even pray fervently that they do not pull the skin from a loot box, because then it would be “forever in their account.” Some even want to pay money to have the skin removed.
What do you think of Ana’s new skin? Cool? Creepy? Or are the reactions just silly?
Cortyn says: My first thought about the skin was that it is indeed somewhat creepy. Maybe because I’ve played too much Dead by Daylight lately or watched anime with crazies wearing exactly those kinds of masks. I belong to the folks who hope not to draw this skin from a loot box. Because then it would linger eternally in the hero gallery waiting for its opportunity…
