Summary
An eagle-eyedOverwatch 2player has spotted Mei’s name cleverly incorporated in her shoes in the newly released Neon Streets skin. Mei is one of thoseOverwatch 2characters who were part of the roster when the first game rolled out in 2016.
Thanks to her longevity, Mei is among the more popular playable characters inOverwatch 2. She is one of the various different damage heroes available to choose from, including Tracer, Bastion, Sojourn, Cassidy, and more. Officially described as a Chinese scientist passionate about environmental preservation, Mei has grown to become a celebrated character in the franchise over the years. For example, some dedicated fans havecosplayed as the longtimeOverwatchhero, producing stunning results.
Recently, a Reddit user brought to the community’s attention a cool and non-obvious aspect of Mei’s Neon Streets skin, which is available in anOverwatch 2bundle. The post highlighted that the blue-colored soles of the shoes in the new attire bears the name of the damage hero and essentially spells “MEI.” Moreover, the player appreciated the devs for adding this “secret” detail, saying “Shoutout [sic] whoever designed the skin [sic] I love it.” The Neon Streets skin is part of the Neon Streets Mei Bundle, which also includes a new charm and emote, and is available for 2,200 coins in in-game currency at the time of writing. Players can purchase it by December 3, alongside limited-time bundles for other characters, such as Tracer and Junkrat.
Overwatch 2 Community Reacts to the Fashion Detail on Mei’s New Skin
The post about Mei’s new attire garnered responses from dozens ofOverwatchfans, who discussed a number of different things about the skin. A comment noted that, contrary to the post’s title, the aforementioned detail in the shoes may not really be hidden because the charm, suggestively named “Sneaker Tread,” included in the bundle is basically the name part of the shoe’s sole. Drawing comparisons with a real-world pair of shoes, a fan said, “Reminds me of those Nike Airs with giant AIR on the side.” While one user opined that the bundle was expensive, another expressed disappointment at not having the ability to purchase the skin separately instead of the entire Mei bundle.
Excitingly,Overwatch 2just got an updatethat brings Overwatch: Classic, a new 6v6 mode, into the mix. The limited-time mode, which runs from November 12 to December 2, enables players to battle it out with original characters across certain classic maps, including Hanamura and Temple of Anubis. This new mode should particularly sit well with those veteranOverwatchplayers who want to experience in-game moments similar to those they experienced during the first game’s launch, over eight years ago.
