The Top Skins of 2023
Despite some criticism over pricing, several skins stood out this year for their bold designs and cultural relevance. Here’s a rundown of the most notable Overwatch 2 skins of 2023.
5) Saitama Doomfist – The One Punch Man Collaboration
This skin, born from a collaboration with the anime ‘One Punch Man,’ offered a fresh take on Doomfist. The Saitama Doomfist skin masterfully balanced the essence of the anime character with Doomfist’s original design, delighting fans of both franchises.
4) Takoyaki Zenyatta – A Culinary Delight
Zenyatta’s Takoyaki skin transformed the hero into a delightful Japanese street food chef. This skin was not only a fun culinary nod but also a perfect thematic match for Zenyatta’s orb-throwing abilities.
3) Lilith Moira – The Diablo Crossover
The Lilith Moira skin, inspired by Blizzard’s own ‘Diablo’ series, was a standout among Moira’s other skins. This skin tapped into Moira’s darker persona, creating a synergy with the Diablo character that resonated well with fans.
2) The LE SSERAFIM Skins – K-pop Extravaganza
Following the One Punch Man collaboration, Overwatch 2 teamed up with K-pop group LE SSERAFIM. The bundle included skins for D.Va, Tracer, Sombra, Brigitte, and Kiriko, each reflecting the vibrant and stylish aesthetic of K-pop. D.Va’s skin, in particular, was a fan favorite, perfectly aligning with her character design.
1) Amaterasu Kiriko – The Pinnacle of Customization
Topping the list is the Amaterasu Kiriko skin, a mythic-tier cosmetic from the season three battle pass. This skin, based on the Japanese deity Amaterasu, allowed for extensive customization, enabling players to create a unique look for Kiriko. The attention to detail in every aspect, from hairstyles to kunai designs, set this skin apart as the best of 2023.
