An Overwatch 2 fan has created a skin concept that transforms Kiriko into NieR: Automata's 2B, with impressive results. Kiriko was one of the first new characters added to Overwatch 2 and has since become one of the game's most popular heroes for reasons such as her competitive potential.
Kiriko is one of the notable names when players debate about Overwatch 2's best support heroes. With her skills kit, she can heal and protect allies, deal damage, and have considerable mobility on the battlefield. Because of this, Kiriko has been a highlight in the game's meta and a hot pick for players who want to stand out. Recently, a talented fan decided to give the support a different twist by transforming her into a character from another popular franchise.
On Twitter, a user called aixo_official created an impressive skin concept that turns Kiriko into 2B from Nier: Automata. The artist shows Kiriko with the same short white hair and a black blindfold that covers the eyes of the protagonist of PlatinumGames' JRPG. The Overwatch 2 hero wears the same high-slit turtleneck dress and thigh-high black leather boots, and her abilities have got a visual makeover. Healing Ofuda's talisman is stamped with the logo of YoRHa, the military force that created the android, while Protection Suzu has the form of a Black Box, which is the “heart” of YoRHa androids. The Kunai has been given the same design as the Virtuous Contract, one of the swords used by 2B.
Neat Overwatch 2 Skin Concept Dresses Kiriko as 2B
While the Nier franchise has a variety of android characters and YoRHa creations, 2B stands out as one of the most popular names among fans. Created to battle the machines that have invaded the planet in the name of humans, 2B is known for her striking and controversial appearance, and for being one of the central characters in the highly praised Nier: Automata. The character is also remembered for using the swords Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty, and for her appearances in games such as Soul Calibur 6, Final Fantasy 14, and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising.
The skin concept shared by the artist has impressed the Blizzard shooter community, with some players commenting that if this skin became real, it would have a sales potential “capable of financing Overwatch 3.” After all, Kiriko is one of the game's heroes who frequently receives cosmetics, recent examples being the Legendary Oni skin, and the one part of the Overwatch 2 x My Hero Academia collaboration.
