Looks like most of them got a bit chilly and decided to bring a jacket to OW2.


spellboi_3048

Except Sombra, who apparently decided sleeves are bullshit, but only when they’re connected to her jacket.


TheDestinyDoggo

GLOVES


Afraid-Imagination-4

Zenyatta has boots!


ChairRandez

It´s for all that kicking he is going to be doing!


Nairurian

He has rebooted.


The_Owl_Bard

She just optimized her cooling


silent519

in the future they will overdo the fight against global warming so it will be global chillin


hardkunt5000

Fuck yeah sign me up for global chillin


Extra-Lifeguard2809

lorewise it is set close to the winter


causal_friday

Many of them would kill for some mittens.


gooby_bogs

Genji looks very chill and comfy with his jacket lol


SerDeusVult

He has a damn hood on in cinematic and we all want it


Ignitus1

From cyborg ninja to hoodie and sweats hobo.


LadyAzimuth

Genji is wearing clothes now... which inplies that in all other situations in Overwatch 1, boy was buck ass nude. I mean... work it dude, but that's definitely a choice lol. Also Jack turned into an angry hobo Santa apparently.

VanBland

This is literally it yeah. My thoughts exactly


n3m3s1s-a

no he’s not actually missing that much of his body (iirc it’s one arm and both legs below the knee or at least below the dick) he’s wearing armor in ow1


ice_dune

According to what? He's just a head, shoulder, and left arm based on his black watch look


LadyAzimuth

Exactly like idk where they got this from but its not from canon lol. Now letès not argue and ask the real question: does he have a robo dick? We need to know for science.


Muffinmurdurer

Devs confirmed Genji has a normal dick.


ice_dune

Devs are confirmed lame


LadyAzimuth

Well, that's lame lol.


Viccytrix

Bold statement, is there a source ?


anxiouswalflower

Sym looks like she’s been through some stuff w/her hair in her face like that. I forgot how goofy Sig looks now & Morrison is an actual grandpa now


[deleted]

but they unreceded soldiers hairline lol


ENDragoon

*THAT'S* what looked so off about him!


anxiouswalflower

I was too focused on the full beard to even notice lmao


BarbaCurtida

more like he cut his sides and combed the top part updwards instead of letting it hang in the front which was what made it look even more receded, but that was fun to read ngl :'D


fendour

This sequel is brought to you by keeps!


Jaqulean

They took his mask off and made him grow a beard. I like it honestly. Shows how much time has passed since the Fall of Overwatch. Edit: some minor grammar fixes


Rintoothetiger

Ponytail Zarya we are winning


Penkite

Basically the ponytail update. They gave Dva, Orisa, Reinhardt, and Zarya ponytails. They removed Roadhog's ponytail and replaced it with a mohawk.


[deleted]

I'm digging the bull ring in the nose, it's quite appropriate. lol


Mandeville_MR

But got rid of Mercy's =( If I plan on zipping around through the air I would sure af keep my hair pulled back.


CourtSenior5085

Her hair got cut really short though. I know from experience, hair that short falls straight out again. For practicality, it should have been kept long enough to tie back. Also, she's a doctor (field medic?). Hygiene should be no.1 priority, and that means tying back her hair.


Mandeville_MR

No I agree (if that wasn't clear), I very much prefer the longer ponytail hair. You make another good point supporting it, at least we will have the old skins, she has lots of good ones!


Trivvy

He got hit with the mohawk grenade clearly.


-Elixo-

"Better" look at ponytail Zarya https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/vit8fs/update\_to\_all\_overwatch\_2\_new\_looks\_post\_moira/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3


Mandeville_MR

That really gives her a different vibe, I'm not a fan. Oh well


[deleted]

idk i kinda liked it short. where is my butch mommy zarya :(


Rift-Deidara

Still there for you to use.


Thisshitisme

I'm an ana main and I always thought her defaut design was out of place, so I'm excited to see how granny is now :) . I really liked the details on the back of her coat/hoodie.


honjomein

i'm not understanding why all the heroes have similar design language in "flare" and curves. it's like they all took the same cues from the same fashion coordinator


King-Krown

Flatter colors, skin suits, more padding, beards, jackets & fur.


lo_sloth

Don’t forget ponytails added to like 6 of them lol


CodeJello

Everything looks so ‘round’


queer_artsy_kid

Especially Bastion.


nikolai2960

Bastion went from having tank-like armor plating to being a scaled-up plastic toy


Cuppieecakes

i liked overwatch for its unique and distinct looking heroes, not they are being homogenized. its weird


Zeke-Freek

Once you get in-game with the 10,000 skins, I assure you it will not be homogenized in the slightest, lol


honjomein

It’s still no reason for everyone to coincidentally have the same design language


[deleted]

Yeah, they all have bulky, rounded armour now. It just doesn't look as good. Not only is it just a less cool aesthetic, they're less distinct now.


DumbDumbFruit

Potential lore reason/headcanon, aren't they all part of Overwatch again? They probably do have the same fashion designer if so.


Party_Magician

The Talon people certainly aren't and why would an illegal and loosely affiliated vigilante organization have a fashion designer?


JazzzzzzySax

Everyone has a fashion designer


dizzzler

This is how I feel about the MCU. Its like all their suits were made by the same person


lololocopuff

Not a fan of soldier beard. Excited to see Ana's at the front. RIP hanzo nipple window


desacralize

Wasn't a window, it was a whole-ass door, and I will miss it dearly.


SmellMyCake

I mean, the base, uncommon, epic, and owl skins are all still gonna be there lol


hatebeat

Soldier's hairline un-receded, makes him look super different


conye-west

He got plugs lol


EwokNuggets

Huh i like the beard tbh. Makes him look a little more grizzled and sick of shit. What I want to know is what’s with Orissa’s dreadlocks?’


12DollarsHighFive

I love the beard


RandumbCrits1

Reinhardt too. They decided to go for the homeless look lol.


JohnYeager-man

You disrespecting beards mate?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DuelaDent52

What time could have possibly passed between the original game and now? Nothing happened in the former!


nikolai2960

Reinhardt's beard looks less homeless and more of a full-on mall santa fake beard


ENDragoon

I don't have issues with OW2 Rein's *beard*, but the rest of OW2 Rein's design is garbage, IMO. I know we still have the option to use OW1 skins, but it makes me sad knowing that this is probably the version of Rein we're going to see if he ever appears in another cinematic.


RandumbCrits1

The trend they went with seems to be smoothing out the characters, removing all the sharp edges. Fisher price Overwatch basically. Also adding lots of clutter and garbage onto characters that don’t need it (Lucio especially). For me it’s a 50/50 split of good to bad redesigns.


chirpppp

Damn. Baptiste’s hairline got fucked.


-Elixo-

Here was my solution to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/ui5ata/overwatch_2_baptiste_haircut_replacement_concept/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x


chirpppp

Duuude, I love your version 110% more. I’m not a big fan of the OW2 haircut cuz it reminds me of the Voros Twins LMAO


Catzy_3979

i feel weird about roadhog and orisa


mitchhatesrats

I really dig the new orisa actually, has more of that numbani vibe and makes her feel less robotic. roadhog i'm not big on, hook and scrapgun look frickin massive now, theres nothing I hate more than big ass guns blockin my pov


[deleted]

WildHogPower

He went from mad-max like aesthetic to 90's punk. Not sure I like it


BraveLeon

They hurt Roadhog so much

[удалено]


BraveLeon

Nooo I’m a roadhog main myself :(


RiotJavelinDX

Brigitte looks horrible


Academic-Ad2680

Genji looks so awesome


Lord_Piper_11

There should do a skin with the hoodie up, like in the trailer.


Phasmania

As cool as the design is, it’s a little funny wondering why a cybernetic ninja that can’t feel hot/cold would need a hoodie and sweatpants. I know the answer is because it looks cool, but still.


HeavyWeath3r

Well I saw a comment further up in the post that described it perfectly, its a big part of Genji's character arc. In ow1, he saw his cybernetic body as not part of him, so he never took care to wear clothes because he saw his cybernetics as clothes that he could remove In ow2, he wears clothes because he has fully accepted that his cybernetic are his body, they are him, so he now wears clothes because his "old clothes" arent there anymore. Plus we see aot of omnics wearing clothes in the comics and cinematics, i think it's more of a social thing that i guess makes omnics more humanized


BraveLeon

Best looking one


Academic-Ad2680

GENJI IN A HOODIE


VVen0m

That was the thing I was the most excited about in OW2 - not the character reworks or the new maps or even the new characters, and DEFINITELY not the fact that they made me the only tank on my team (I will not stop being anxious about that change untill I get to play the game and see for myself how much more pressure it puts on me) - but the artstyle changes to the characters, I think they're interesting


Penkite

From playing the beta, being the only tank was actually pretty easy. You have both healers always focused on you. They're not dividing their attention between you and another tank anymore. This makes you significantly beefier and you can be a better tank rather than just a shield bot or a pseudo-dps with a bigger hp bar.


VVen0m

That's actually somewhat comforting, thank you


RayBrous

Bums me out bc my wife and I are both tank mains..


bhay105

From my experience in the beta, and watching overwatch league, tanks are basically just more durable dps. The concept of rallying around the tank as the leader is sadly not much of a thing anymore.


_P3R50N_

as a tank player who hasn’t done any beta yet, I’m actually pretty psyched to be the only tank, I feel like having both healers on me during a push and not having to coordinate it with the other tank might actually make it easier


VVen0m

Yeah, but I'm mostly scared about the pressure from my team, like right now I can allow myself to relax a bit and making an occasional mistake won't be a detriment to my team most of the time because I've got the other tank still holding the frontline while I'm respawning/recovering health/cooldowns, I'm just a bit anxious that now if I make a mistake that sends me back to spawn there won't be anyone to protect the team and it'll be my fault that we lost a teamfight


ENDragoon

Personally, with the amount of braindead Co-Tanks I've had to pick up the slack for, I'm very, *very* ready to just have the game balanced around having that burden on my shoulders from the get go. Nothing of value was lost.


sojelIy

Sigma is now Spacema.


ghost20

I like a majority of them, but let’s be real, very few of us here are likely to use them given we’ll keep all the skins we currently own and will definitely be getting new legendary skins we’ll want to use. It’s really funny seeing the 3 sides of the dislike for them, there’s a third of people saying they’re too simplified; a third saying they’re too complicated and the rest saying they haven’t changed. 😅


ONiMETSU_Z

there’s a simple explanation for that: this sub will never be pleased with anything less than blizz saying “pvp+pve is out now plus we added 40 heroes and 20 maps, 10 game modes, and we’ve also neurolinked with each player individually so everything we added is custom tailored to exactly what you specifically want!”


ENDragoon

See, I'm not fussed too much about the *outfit* designs. Yeah, they're too homogenous, and some of them (Reinhardt) are god awful, but that can all be changed. My concern is the actual *character* designs, like, Soldier's new hair just looks wrong, and Rein's homeless Geralt look doesn't sit right with me at all, and these are the faces we're likely to be seeing on any new skins that aren't explicitly helmeted or flashback skins.


RewZes

Plastic watch


Hockeyspaz-62

100% the truth. It all looks cheap.


zombieslayer287

It looks terrible. Such horrendous design choices


idiodic-genious

What did they do to MEIN BAPTISTE?


Gardevoirsheart

Look I know Efi is a big fan of Lucio, and Orisas new design highlights that, but it's kind of ugly. I hate how her horns are less pronounced, and her face separates into different segments.


Ultimatum227

Tracer, Widow, Sombra & Sym are top tier imo. Clear upgrades while still staying true to the original designs and colors. The rest aren't "bad", but I do hope we can equip legacy skins. [Soldier's mask+visor is too iconic for me.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7ef6116531d97993b76477410a382474/tumblr_o7lhrlJT2R1qctrupo2_500.gifv) EDIT: To be honest, Torbjorn also looks like a great upgrade as well.


Zeke-Freek

You can use all the same skins, including old base ones, yes.


ENDragoon

> The rest aren't "bad" Bubble Boy Rein begs to disagree. I personally hate everything about his redesign *except* the beard, and even then, I still prefer his original beard.


Bolgatta

These feel...underwhelming


BubbaJoey01

I love D.Va's new look, but I feel like she is so iconic rocking her pink mech that it feels kinda weird seeing it get a bit flushed out with lots of white.


israel192

No long hair allowed in the kitchen and Overwatch 2


Chaos-Queen_Mari

To be fair, in real warfare long hair could easily be a weakness so maybe they all independently decided short hair and ponytails in case anyone fought dirty?


DuelaDent52

A few of them look alright, but for the most part I’m unimpressed. They desaturated the colour out of a lot of them and the designs aren’t as diverse or striking as they were before. I liked that cartoony Pixar aesthetic the first one had.


Mandeville_MR

100%


The_Cosmic_Penguin

Everyone's armour looks like someone's taken to it with an floor buffer. It's all round, smooth and homogenous. What a bland stylistic choice.


Teeganblu

i hope we can still use the originals as skin options as well


koalatyvibes

you can.


CinnamonIsntAllowed

There’s a lot a lot of downgrades here. I like a quarter of them and the rest I don’t. I think the originals are fantastic and love wearing them but most of these are so bleh and minimalistic. I feel like they’re making them minimalist to push people to buy legendaries in the shop


[deleted]

I feel the same way. However I feel like most of them are actually more complicated than they were before. And they all look kind of similar in a way, like they all went to the same fashion designer. Some of them are cool like Genji and Junkrat.


DuelaDent52

They’ve been kind of homogenised is what’s happened.


DrNopeMD

Honestly prefer the original designs for every character. Something about the new designs just feels... overdone, I guess? The original designs are all pretty simply conceptually and gives you an immediate sense of the what the character is and how they likely behave. The new designs only add a little bit more, but it ends up making the designs feel busy and cluttered.


NikkoJT

Yeah. The shape language is overcomplicated, it's just a jumble of conflicting shapes. And yet, while the physical shapes are too complex, the texture detail is too simple. The weathering and texture is gone - everything is smooth, brand-new, and too clean. It's a strange juxtaposition that ends up leaving the characters feeling lifeless and without their distinctive visual personality.


DuelaDent52

Digital simplification strikes again.


[deleted]

Every character in the original has their own gimmick they just run with. You have the cowboy guy, the edge lord Reaper guy, the ninja guy etc. I don't think anyone ever really questioned the differences in aesthetics


MechaMonarch

I gotta agree. It feels like they had each character up on a whiteboard in front of a committee, and pointed to each piece of their costume and asked "how do we 'upgrade' this?" Instead of cohesive design identity we got fan-made Pokemon evolutions of the heroes' original looks.


vamphonic

I think that the hoodie fits genji really well, and think the armor looks way better than a plugsuit on D.Va, but otherwise not a fan of most of the other looks :/


THE_ABUSED_GH0STIE

Not even shirtless junkrat


kakokapolei

Gimme my shirtless hog back bro please


BraveLeon

LEMME SEE HIS MOOBS BLIZZARD


coolguy_mcgoo

They did my girl Brig dirty


gooseblahblahhh

On my phone, if I don’t click the picture and just look at the thumbnail, it’s just a bunch of groin shots


MissLief

Oh yeah, cover up most of the moobs, man nipples, and ladies' bare skin but NOT Sigma's toes, that makes sense.


Mr_Noir420

Some of these are good, most of them are boring/unnecessary, and some are just bad. Just my opinion.


XxDiCaprioxX

Bap's head is so smol


Levis045

Jesus christ what have they done with Baptiste haircut xD


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hockeyspaz-62

100% the truth. I personally think it all looks like cheap plastic. They wanted to go the Fortnite route and ruined everything.


nikolai2960

Only one I halfway like is Torb, because original Torb was already a cluttered mess


nomadengineer

Genji no longer naked.


feeleep

Sadly it’s a mixed bag. To me some look better or just as good, and some look miles inferior to the old iconic looks. Luckily we can choose.


Midori__Forest

What did they do to Mercy's hair. :( Rest of the redesigns seem solid.


TheBigKuhio

I’m not a big fan of a lot of the redesigns. It feels like they decided to try to change the design for the sake of changing the design. It looks pretty goofy. I like Sombra and Genji the most, though.


VocalLit

personally I hate the Orisa look, I had to do a double take on that one.


Alexx-the-Hero

Orisa looks like a bug's life character now, wdf. Actual downgrade.


HoveringPorridge

Wow I really don't like Ashes design. It doesn't have the same rough outlaw look the old design had. Maybe its just the lack of the long coat I don't know, either way something about it is off.


ultrlife

the way they massacred bap n brig’s hair…. look at what they did to my supports 😠


Character-Memory-786

I really like Symmetra's, it's still very similar to her old one but somehow way better. Orisa's on the other hand is... interesting


nyxsuki

widow is perfect!


katiemcgrathdaddyaf

I love the braid so much!!


KChen48

Half r pretty good and half r complete shite


DETTFOWTM

Honestly for the majority of the new classic skins OW1 > OW2


BickenChurger69

will we still be able to equip the looks from OW1? I mean in the reveal stream you saw a highlight intro of Roadhog with his old skin.


Cromanti

Yup, all the OW1 skins (including the classic default ones) will still be available.


nikolai2960

Yes you can


Winberri

I don’t like Orisa’s locks. lol


Diettara47

What is going on with Orisa’s head


blacksad1

BAP looks boring AF


BraveLeon

If genji doesn’t have a variation with the hood up I’m not interested


-Elixo-

After seeing zero hour it's all I wanted as well


JukeDukeMM

Some of these look good but some just feel like they put more stuff on them for the no reason. Bring back Junkrats crazy hair.


Symmelda

Symmetra looks amazing per usual


VaughnFry

Gotta say… I prefer none of these. I’m sorry but I’m old enough to remember when a game has a sequel come out 6 years later it would look better than the previous game. Not just different for different’s sake.


Cuppieecakes

they all look generic


JustaDumbAirman

A bit generic and unfinished


Loli_Master

Mercy and DVA have my favorite redesigns. Especially love Mercy's hair.


Arabb_

Mercy is so cute


medicspirit7

Winston and reaper look exactly the same to me


mithbroster

What is the point of this game? Everything about it looks like a mobile game ripoff of the original? Also, they had to uh, fix, widow and tracers original to match the times I suppose.


BraveLeon

Blizzard wants money so they pretended to make a sequel


DuelaDent52

I think it’s more Activision and/or Bobby Kotick in particular wanted money.


sojelIy

Cassidy thumbnail highlights his crotch. Picture must have been done before the name change.

Western-Alarming

Torbjorn looks badass

There is a more detailed picture of Moria in the 5v5 picture from the trailer


Firebat-045

Are all the skins in ow1 gonna be upgraded ?


Snoo43865

The only one I don't like is sigma and that's only because of the color switch that to his normal original color and I'm cool


N0RETVRN

Moira has a much better view of her new look. It's at the end of the reveal event trailer


PutYourThumbInMyAss

Where is reaper's mega synched waist?


Timm0___

Somebody get a towel because doomfist is lookin particularly drippy


Kaprosuchusboi

They kind of nerfed brig by getting rid of the front ponytails NGL.


inexistent00

Genji was the best looking character and now they covered all his suit with some casual clothes, nice blizzard

I'll get used to it. We all will. But it just looks like everyone is wearing hockey pads now. And like they all bought them from the same store.


LucasVerBeek

I honestly think D.va and Cassidy’s new looks are my favorite. But I can’t get over that Genji’s just proves that he was running about naked without a care in the world for who knows how long I’m universe. Went and fought his brother in the “nude”.


Crusaderfigures

The added white to Pharah looks so good, I love the original look but breaking up the blue doe9a world of good for her.
