The long-awaited D.Va skin from the anniversary event in Overwatch has been released. See here if it lived up to the hype.
A few days ago, Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team announced that the anniversary event for Overwatch’s 3rd birthday would include a special skin. The new D.Va skin would “break the internet” – at least that’s what he expected in terms of reactions. Now the skin has been released.
This is what the skin looks like: The new skin “Academy D.Va” features D.Va in a uniform reminiscent of schools or universities. She wears glasses and also a skirt. But her mech has also undergone some changes. It still retains D.Va’s popular pink tones, but the small “mecha” head is particularly striking, reminiscent of anime robots.
By the way, Winston has also received an anniversary skin after D.Va.
The hype has cooled it down: Most players on Reddit agree that it would have been better not to “hype” the skin with Kaplan’s words, as this has led to disappointment for some. While there is consensus that it is generally a very good skin that many players want to use, the big “surprise” that was expected from Kaplan’s words is missing.
Fans see inspiration for adult films: Some players, however, take it with humor and are sure that the skin will at least “break the internet” in one way – namely on certain adult websites. There seems to be consensus that D.Va in the short skirt will serve as inspiration for many films.
But whether Kaplan meant that is rather questionable.
This and all upcoming skins can be earned during the Overwatch anniversary. When the event takes place is explained in this article.
What do you think of the new skin for D.Va? Is this a worthy start for the 3rd anniversary? Or are you disappointed with the skin?
