Summary
- Overwatch 2 fan creates Princess Peach-inspired Mercy skin concept, complete with pink Caduceus Gun and Staff.
- Many fans would love to see the Peach skin become a reality, showcasing Overwatch community's creativity.
- Overwatch 2 has a diverse line of unique skins for heroes, but has faced criticism and issues with premium skins.
An Overwatch 2 fan created a Mercy skin concept inspired by the popular Nintendo character, Peach. Overwatch 2 is known for creating unique skins for its roster of heroes that players can use to dress their mains up, and one hero with eye-catching skins is the healer Mercy.
Since the first game, Mercy has been considered one of the most memorable Overwatch heroes because of her broken Resurrect ability, which allowed her to revive her entire team. Resurrect was later nerfed, making Mercy only revive one fallen ally at a time, but it didn't stop Overwatch 2 fans from playing her.

Recently, one Overwatch 2 fan shared a beautiful Mercy skin concept inspired by Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros. In a Reddit post, they showcased an all-pink Mercy skin that has elements from Peach's ball gown, complete with long blonde hair, a gold tiara, and pink wings. The fan also customized Mercy's Caduceus Gun and Caduceus Staff to match her outfit, and created a turnip weapon charm as well.

In the comments, many Overwatch 2 fans said that they'd instantly purchase the Peach-inspired skin if it were ever officially released. Some also voiced their wish that Blizzard would collaborate with Nintendo to turn the skin into a reality, but this might be impossible considering Nintendo's strict standards around their IP. Perhaps the closest Overwatch 2 skins in design were the limited-time Pink Mercy and Rose Gold Mercy from Season 11, which were launched to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
In the past, many Overwatch 2 fans have also created skin concepts for their favorite heroes. One fan recently shared a Shadow the Hedgehog-themed skin for Juno, the newest hero coming to Overwatch 2. Meanwhile, another fan imagined what an Overwatch 2 and Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration would look like in their creative skin concept.
Overwatch 2 has a diverse line of skins that's unique to every hero, but it's also been subject to some criticism from avid players. Last May, Blizzard had to temporarily disable Mythic Skins to fix a bug, among other issues that needed to be patched up, which worried players because the premium skins suddenly disappeared from their collections. Fortunately, Overwatch 2 managed to restore the Mythic skins and ensured that the game continued running smoothly.
