Blizzard Commits To Changing New Overwatch Hero's Appearance Following "Same Face" Criticism https://ift.tt/prvtzmJ

Amid criticism that new Overwatch hero Anran looks too much like other female heroes and not enough like her own previous appearance in an animated short, Blizzard has committed to updating the hero's appearance during Season 1.

Overwatch game director Aaron Keller announced the upcoming change in a video on social media, saying that the team is currently planning how to make Anran "look and feel more like the fierce older sister that we all envision her to be." While he says the team is proud of the work that has gone into the hero, "we agree that she can be even better if we get this aspect of her right in game."

Keller adds that this change has been in discussion internally since last week, but that the team "wanted to wait until we had confirmation of exactly what we can do." For now, there are few details on what changes will be made and when they will be live in game, though Keller says that the studio hopes to be able to make this update during Season 1.
