As the opening number for the Grand Finals of the second season of the Overwatch League, DJ and music producer Zedd performed. His performance was preceded by a brief look at an unreleased skin that is now driving fans wild. Many Overwatch fans want the “Zedd” skin for Widowmaker.
What kind of skin is it? The skin is a new outfit for Widowmaker, which differs only in color and some details from her default skin (“recolor”), similar to the skins of the Overwatch League teams.
The skin features blue-green and pink tones. Widowmaker has the musician’s logo tattooed on her back. The logo can also be seen on the side of her weapon, the Widow’s Kiss.
The Widowmaker skin was only visible for a few seconds as Zedd took the stage, in the form of Widowmaker’s well-known highlight intros.
Who is Zedd? Anton “Zedd” Zaslavski is a German-Russian DJ known for his electro-house music. Zedd has been nominated for Grammys multiple times, has released two albums, and several top 10 hits. He has even been jokingly compared to Lúcio:
Zedd is also an Overwatch player himself. He frequently shares Overwatch content on his Instagram channel and has tweeted that he has reached Grandmaster rank.
Zedd is also well-known in the Overwatch community. On reddit, some fans regularly share his content.
New Zedd skin for Widowmaker? Fans want it
This is how the skin is received: Although the skin was only visible for a few seconds, fans now desperately want it.
One player even writes on reddit: “Blizzard, Jeff, when will the skin come to the game? I want to give you my money.”
Is the skin really coming? Last year, DJ Khaled performed at the Overwatch League Finals. He did not receive a skin, which has led some fans to fear that the Zedd skin may not come either.
However, this year’s performance was much better received, and fans really want the skin.
It might be associated with a charity event like the Mercy skin “Pink” earlier this year or might be available for a limited time like the All-Stars skins.
