An Overwatch 2 fan created an incredible cosplay of Mei, one of the DPS characters in the game. The Overwatch 2 roster is full of colorful and exciting heroes and villains, making the game a popular focus for cosplays and other fan art.
As part of the original cast of characters from the 2016 game, Mei has been frustrating enemy teams with her Ice Walls and other abilities for years. With Mei's Overwatch 2 backstory centered around her time at a research facility in Antarctica, she has an appropriately Arctic-themed kit. While the standard look for Mei reflects this cold climate, numerous other Overwatch skins have been released that put a different twist on the character. Recently, one player decided to make a real-life cosplay based on one of these skin variations.
