After the release of Echo, a french streamer (Alphacast) did an interview with Renaud Galand, the lead character artist of Overwatch. The interview can be found on Alphacast’s channel- they showed character designs for Echo, and discussed her original support/tank roles before she became a DPS hero.
What interested me, however, was him talking about the Overwatch 2 redesigns.
He said, and this is a direct quote:
“Expect new skins showcased very, very soon.”
This excites me a lot! Apparently Widowmaker and Moira are having their skins made now, and Sombras is done (and looking “exceptional” as well).
Who’s OW2 redesign are you looking forward to the most?

I am personally excited to see Moira, Sombra, Wrecking Ball, and Zenyatta. Dunno why these heroes specifically, though.

Renaud actually said that Wrecking Ball’s redesign was fun to make because of how much potential he has… so I’m excited for it too!

I want to see Pharah, Ana, Reaper and S76 redesigns. It would be nice to see how they changed.

3 DPS LOCK that is coming
I’m a little worried I legit can’t tell what Brig’s redesign elements were, unless they left them out of Zero Hour

I wanna see Doomfist and Junkrat redesigns
Let’s hope Moira will look awesome and won’t have long hair.

Pretty sure they left them out. Not even Mercy had her redesigns for Zero Hour.
I think Brig will take after Torb and Rein’s redesign and be more modernized. Her shoulder plates, flail and flag looks clunky and prototypish (It was Brig’s first attempt at making her armor makes sense), so expect Brig to make her armor more sleek and sharp.

Id love her to be more sleek and less bulky.
She’s not a pseudo tank anymore like launch, so why is she wearing mini Rein armor lol. That’s why I have her GOAT skin permanently equipped

She will probably get a new hairstyle also! It is going to be so cool 
If I remember, he said Sombra’s, Moira’s are done and Widowmaker is up to be finished.

I can’t find the video? link please???
Pretty sure she remains the same there just like Mercy.
I’m terrified.
They could potentially ruin my waifu.
I just hope they dont change much of the old skins, not basic skins but the event skins. Especialy those i use. I kind of selfish and worry because i dont like all new looks they showed, and im not sure if i would like some skins being changed.
I’m really curious to see Junkrat and Roadhog, cause I wanna know if they go even further into the wasteland aesthetic, or if they’ll look totally different
i dont think the other skins will be changed at all (maybe just graphical updated but nothing design wise) its just like a new skin for every heroe, even the base skins from ow 1 will be available
Was there anything about that tho?
yes since they said everything (all skins and unlocks) will carry on to ow2
ow2 is basically an addon not a new game build from the scratch (updated graphics + new heroes and fee based pve)
ill try to search up the interview and edit this post later on but im certainly sure the old basic skins will be carried on to ow2
