Another day, another Mercy skin in Overwatch 2. This time around, the skin wizards at Blizzard are bringing back one of the healer’s most popular legendary cosmetics, the breast cancer-aware Pink Mercy. There’s even a new Rose Gold version on the way.
Pink Mercy Returns! – New Charity Event in Overwatch 2 Season 11
Pink Mercy is one of the rarest Mercy skins that Overwatch players can get their hands on, as it was only released once, all the way back in 2018 during a charity collaboration with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The bold pink aesthetic, unique effects, and the ribbons and pigtails it added to Mercy’s hair proved overwhelmingly popular with the wider playerbase, who have been clamoring for its return for years.
The same Overwatch skin is finally making a return, this time in Overwatch 2, with all proceeds from the skin’s price once again going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. There’s a little extra surprise for players who’ve been lusting after the skin all these years in the form of a new variant of the skin, also in Rose Gold.
The Rose Gold variant takes what used to be silver on Mercy’s wings, staff, and headpiece, and gives them a more golden hue. The overall design of the skin remains the same, but there are other slight color tweaks throughout: the pink and white tones of her outfit are reversed on this skin, with the lighter white/pink taking up the middle panel and the sides now being pink. She’s even had a dye job on her hair, which is now a slightly redder shade than her traditional blonde locks, and has a pink gradient towards the ends of her pigtails.
