Overwatch 2 Fan Creates KPop Demon Hunters Skin Concepts

A creative Overwatch 2 fan recently made KPop Demon Hunters-inspired skin concepts for Kiriko, Ashe, and Widowmaker. Boasting a pool of diverse heroes, Overwatch 2 also has a wide selection of skins that players can obtain and use to personalize their mains.

Overwatch 2 has had a number of cool-looking skins for many of its heroes, which also includes collaborations with well-known franchises. Earlier this month, Overwatch 2 launched G.I. Joe collab skins and other cosmetics for heroes like Widowmaker and Genji. The Blizzard title also previously released crossovers with the likes of Street Fighter 6, Gundam Wing, and many more.

Many Overwatch 2 fans have been inspired to create skin concepts based on their favorite movies and shows. Digital artist Laurastar14 recently took to Twitter to share their take on KPop Demon Hunters-inspired Overwatch 2 skins, featuring Kiriko as Zoey with Derpy the Tiger standing in as the Fox Spirit, Ashe as Mira, and Widowmaker as Rumi. The characters are all wearing Huntrix's stage outfits during the "What It Sounds Like" scene in the Netflix animated film.

Zoey: Kiriko

KPop Demon Hunters' main protagonists are Huntrix, a trio of young women who perform as a K-pop girl group and also fight demons. Each member has a distinct appearance, and Laurastar14 managed to match them with Overwatch 2 heroes. Since Widowmaker has a prominent ponytail, she's ideal for the Rumi model, who's known for her vibrant braided ponytail. The artist also created an "Ultimate Ability" form where Widowmaker Rumi's demon patterns glow when it's active. Kiriko Zoey is also a nice match since both characters share similar hairstyles, and they use throwing knives in combat. Lastly, Mira's tough demeanor makes her the perfect model for Ashe. KPop Demon Hunters has many iconic outfits for Huntrix, which would be awesome to see on Overwatch 2 heroes as well.

Overwatch 2 previously collaborated with LE SSERAFIM for a skin line, which was received very well by fans. This shows just how popular K-pop is around the world, especially seeing how games like Fortnite and PUBG have also seen success with their respective girl group collaborations. Although the KPop Demon Hunters skins are merely a concept, it's also not that farfetched for Blizzard to potentially jump on the hype before it dies down. Of course, the studio could also continue collaborating with LE SSERAFIM and other popular K-pop groups in the future.
