Charitable In-Game Resurrected Skins

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Overwatch 2 Brings Back the Pink Mercy Cosmetic

— June 15, 2024 — Tech
Overwatch 2 brings back the Pink Mercy cosmetic skin after its initial launch in 2018 when it was only available for a limited time as a part of a Breast Cancer Research Foundation fundraiser. The original skin will be available for purchase beginning June 25th once again with a charity game to support the notion.

For both of the items, it comes at $19,99 and 100% of the purchase price will be directed to the BCRF. Players can purchase the items in the game shop or from the digital storefront on their selection of platforms. Blizzard shared the Rose Gold Mercy skin in a preview with a slightly different color palette than the original launch.

3. Color Palette Variations - Introducing slight color changes in rereleased game skins can renew interest and encourage repeat purchases among dedicated players.
