New Overwatch Short Teases Doctor Ziegler Skin for Mercy


While Tracer may be the poster girl for Overwatch, I'm sure Mercy comes at a close second as being one of the more popular femmes from the game. Just in, Blizzard has released a new short story centered on Mercy called Valkyrie, and it's teasing a new skin for Angela Ziegler.

Here's the announcement:

It's fun that the game should actually make this skin available, seeing as "Doctor Ziegler" has been an image that we've seen in other lore material for quite a while. Heck, even the Rule 34 animators for Mercy have come up with a doctor look for her already.

If anything, the only big change is the doctor's outfit and glasses. The wings and the boots look to be lifted straight out of the classic Mercy skin. We have yet to look at her staff and gun, but hopefully, it's a completely new look. After all, players spend more time looking at the weapons then they do the actual skin.

We don't have a release date for this skin yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be from some sort of short event. Will it arrive before Christmas? I guess all we can really do is wait and see. I guess it would be a nice challenge mid-events to try and win this skin, but maybe Blizzard wants to focus on the holiday event more. My guess is just as good as yours.

Overwatch is now playable for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
