Overwatch Anniversary Skins Teased

Sometimes, games’ anniversaries creep up on you. For example, the Overwatch anniversary 2020 is about to hit as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game are about to turn four years old. (The Nintendo Switch version is still a baby and not even a year old yet.) To help hype people up for the events, which will kick off on May 19, 2020, Blizzard has been gradually teasing some of the new Overwatch anniversary skins people might be able to acquire, with Ashe and B.O.B., Mercy, Reaper, and Zenyatta showing off their “legendary” new looks.

Ashe and B.O.B.’s outfit was teased first. Their look is based on the “Little Red Riding Hood” fable, with Ashe dressed as the red-hooded heroine and Bob as the Big Bad Wolf in grandma’s clothing.

B.O.B… What big teeth you have!

Grab your riding hood and suit up as Little Red Ashe (Legendary)!
