Overwatch 2 ARK/8 hoodies

ARK/8, a streetwear brand, has revealed a new hoodie design for its Overwatch 2 collaboration with KOYORIN. The new Miko Mercy hoodie joins Cyber Demon Genji and EDM D.Va. What's special about these Overwatch 2 and ARK/8 hoodies is that all three of these designs reference skins from Overwatch 2's very first Battle Pass. Back then, the Overwatch 2 Season 1 Battle Pass had Cyber Demon Genji as its mythic skin, Miko Mercy at tier 50, and EDM D.Va as an instant premium reward.

Although the front of each Overwatch 2 ARK/8 hoodies showcases each hero's eyes, the back is more elaborate. Genji's hoodie, for example, features gorgeous artwork of his Cyber Demon skin up to the waist. It also features his dragon tattoo emerging from his arms.

ARK/8 teases Miko Mercy hoodie with Anran's voice actor

Prior to the reveal of the Miko Mercy hoodie, there was speculation among fans about it being an Anran hoodie based on similar color schemes. The fact that the merchandise reveal involved Anran's voice actor, Fareeha Andersen, further fueled the possibility. However, that simply turned out to be a coincidence.

At the time of writing this article, Blizzard Entertainment has not made any official announcements about Anran being a future playable hero. There may be some hope for Anran as an upcoming hero, however. In Overwatch 2's most recent lore drop, the video featuring Winston's invitation to Watchpoint Gibraltar panned to Anran as he spoke.

"We've reviewed every report, every act of bravery during the invasion, and you... you stood out not just for your skill, but for your courage," Winston said in the video. "That's why you're receiving the message embedded within this token. You are formally invited to Watchpoint Gibraltar to stand with a new generation of heroes. The world won't save itself. Join us."
