Here's a closer look at the new Overwatch NieR Automata skins plus our quick guide on how to unlock them all.
Overwatch x Project YoRHa is now live, allowing players to add a bunch of new Overwatch NieR Automata skins to their collection. Read on for details.
Overwatch NieR Automata skins
- Kiriko as 2B
- Wuyang as 9S
- Vendetta as A2
- Mercy as Commander White
- Lifeweaver as Adam
The NieR Automata skins in Overwatch are 2B Kiriko, 9S Wuyang, A2 Vendetta, Commander White Mercy, and Adam Lifeweaver. According to Blizzard Entertainment, these choices were made by pairing Project YoRHa’s stark designs with Overwatch heroes who understand sacrifice, resolve, and difficult decisions. For example, as 2B, Kiriko is an unwavering protector just like she is in her Overwatch lore. As another example, Vendetta shows off A2’s rebellious nature as she fights unapologetically and turns her rage into resolve.
“The Overwatch x Project YoRHa collaboration brings a different kind of weight to the battlefield, leaning into purpose and the idea that fighting for a better future is rarely clean or simple,” Blizzard Entertainment explained. “Five legendary skins pull from Project YoRHa’s stark designs and pair them with Overwatch heroes who understand sacrifice, resolve, and difficult choices. Each silhouette is intentional, with details emphasizing duty over comfort and the pressure of knowing that the missions come first.”
