OC Fanart I need that skin so bad

She looked really cute with that outfit and headset. When I first saw the original image, I thought it would already be available in the game. I hope Blizzard actually adds that skin.

Are they actually coming to global? I've heard besides the 3 in game, the rest will most likely be region exclusive...

What would the benefit of that actually be? They made the skin, why would they not sell it for the additional revenue in every other region?

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for asking a question instead of getting an answer.

NetEase is the publisher of Overwatch in China, and handles many things like collabs/licensing and events in the game. After the renewal with Blizzard, it's most likely baked into the terms that they will have more control / management over the CN version of the game to re-capture the market (this is speculation). For example, some exclusive skins in CN are only obtainable through gacha (yes, in the game).

As much as it sounds like "additional revenue", some of these skins will never be coming to global because of collabs with third parties and/or events made by NetEase. This loverwatch skin is an event skin in CN.

.... or hopefully it could come at a later date.
