Overwatch 2 Adds New Free Skin

Overwatch 2 players can get a free new skin for Orisa, given away as part of the April Fools’ Day event. Blizzard continues the tradition of celebrating the popular date, and this time has brought Overwatch 2 players a limited-time mode called “Totally Normalwatch.”

This Overwatch 2 mode will be available until April 14, making a wide range of unusual changes, such as reducing the size of D.va’s mech by 50%, and its health to 25. Another hilarious adjustment has taken the weapons away from B.O.B., Ashe’s bodyguard robot, which is now capable only of running toward enemies to throw them into the air. Bastion has gained a new friend, an explosive training robot, and Hanzo can ride Orisa during matches. In addition to the fun changes, Overwatch 2 has added a series of rewards as part of the new event, including an adorable skin.
