  • Reinhardt - Wrapping paper skin
  • Illari - Winter Jammies
  • Reinhardt - Heaven’s Devil
  • Sigma - Plunderer
  • Ashe - Storm Rider
  • Hanzo - Great Tengu
  • Pharah - Nutcracker
  • SYmmetra - Sin’dorei
  • Ana - Blackbraid
  • Kiriko - Festive

We respectively have recolors derived from:

  • 2 blizzcon skins with canonical variants to the WoW and StarCraft universes (symmetra and reinhardt). and here I can understand that it is actually a rpegio for those who missed the old Blizzcon exclusives);
  • 4 recolored OW1 Halloween skins (Sigma, Hanzo, Ana and Pharah)
  • 1 season 6 skin battle pass (illari);
  • 2 recolored shop skin (Ashe and Kiriko)
  • 1 skin from the shop, however apparently donated via the Winter Wonderland event (Reinhardt cardboard box);

I wouldn’t say anything about it at all… except that we know they’ll sell for $20 each, which doesn’t make them attractive at all. Obviously I don’t expect them to seriously maintain crazy pace for new skins every season but… are you training texturing interns right now, blizzy / team four?

I really don’t understand how they SERIOUSLY think this is a viable seasonal marketing plan at this point. :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:

They are probably for the winter faire event which you can either buy or purchase the premium pass to get mire tickets to get more skins.

I don’t think it’s specified somewhere, but why wouldn’t it surprise me that the choice will be ONE legendary skin or almost 2 epic skins? :roll_eyes: MAYBE I’m wrong, but… I bet I’m not that far off in my imagination.

In my opinion, OW1 recolours should be purchasable with credits as well as coins. Just because it’s got different colours does not make it a new skin and therefore should follow the rules of all OW1 cosmetics.

Would also let those of us with thousands of credits finally be able to start spending them on things, because they keep giving them to us but don’t actually include enough stuff to spend them on.
