Is there a possibility that d.va might get a legendary skin for this upcoming archives event? She hasn’t recieved one since anniversary.

We’d like to hope so. If she got a third anniversary skin I think everybody would lose their minds.
That being said, I’m not sure what her archives skin could actually be. Maybe a MEKA army uniform, with an “older” version of the MEKA?

D.Va ONLY gets fanservice Anniversary and Summer Games skins they would never give her, say, a badass fighter plane skin for archives

Archives takes place around, what, a whole decade before the current events in Overwatch? She would be a child. Not yet a pro gamer, but playing StarCraft. Goliath Mech skin anyone??

Maybe. There’s a fair share of interesting D.Va lore and she hasn’t received one in a while. 
Notices Sym hasn’t received a skin for over a year and also has some interesting lore.

Not StarCraft - Mecha Guardian V.
Talon DVa? I saw this get thrown around
She could get a mechanic skin for archives. Her wearing her mechanic outfit or whatever and the Meka looking like it’s under repair. It would be lore related so it would fit archives. It could legit potentially dethrone Midnight for best skin.
That said they only ever give her skins for the same events over and over so I don’t expect to see one for archives. In the off chance that she does get something it’s probably going to me more “cute” garbage so rip mechanic D.Va skin dream.

This. I remember that nasty “break the internet” comment about Academy. I think it was tasteless and the sexualization of East Asian uniforms is dangerous. It doesn’t help when D.va is nineteen…
Anyway.
I want to remain hopeful. She needs some love!

I want this skin
also in the end of the short, there was a mech being rebuilt, and that could be her mech.

My account is ready.
And yes, Symmetra is well past due for a new skin too.
Yes, we can infer that from her Academy skin. I still believe StarCraft hasn’t been completely retconned from D.Va’s lore (she’s now just a “former pro player” not “former pro StarCraft player.” Also, it would be nice to have additional matching StarCraft skins to pair with Widow’s and Orisa’s themed skins.

The Shooting Star skin would be ok for an archive skin, but I would prefer something more interesting than just D.Va’s vanilla unmodified pink mech and her usual pilot suit but with a jacket and baseball cap thrown on. If they gave us that skin, I certainly would hope they wouldn’t try to pass it off as “legendary.”
I would be much more interested in seeing the depiction of D.Va as teased in the “Hero of My Storm” movie poster seen in a few of the levels be turned into an actual in-game skin and maybe even having some of the lore behind it.

What would this skin be though? In her short she never really has much of an outfit change. I mean she gets a new jacket and a hat but everything from the waist down and the mech is the same as the default.
If you are asking what design the mech would be from that Hero of My Storm movie poster, then I have no idea, but I am sure they could come up with something interesting and relevant to its lore. The mech from Shooting Star is just her default pink mech, which I would be rather bummed out to have for a “special” skin, even if they added a few decals like burn marks or “repaired damage.”

D.Va needs a archive event. Just because she wasn’t born yet doesn’t mean that the Korean wasn’t fighting before she was alive. I’d love to see a skin for her with a prototype meka before she was born. That could have tons of potential.
Giant Baby in a Diaper Skin for Tokki confirmed.
