The Overwatch 1 Pink Mercy skin holds great significance for several reasons. Firstly, it was released in 2018 as part of a collaboration between Blizzard Entertainment and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). The skin was sold to raise funds for breast cancer research, with all proceeds from the sales going towards the cause. This limited-time release raised over $12.7 million for charity, making it not only a rare cosmetic item but also a symbol of support for an important cause.
Secondly, the Pink Mercy skin is considered one of the rarest and most sought-after Overwatch skins. It features a unique and vibrant design, with Mercy adorned in a pink suit and wings, and her hair styled in pigtails. The skin's rarity and the fact that it was only available for a limited time have made it highly desirable among fans.
Due to its limited availability, some players who owned the Pink Mercy skin have auctioned off their accounts for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The demand for this skin has been so high that fans have been petitioning Blizzard to bring it back.
Recently, Blizzard Entertainment announced that they will be re-releasing the Pink Mercy skin, as well as a new Rose Gold variant, in collaboration with BCRF once again. The Pink skin will cost $15, while the Rose Gold one will run you $20. All proceeds will go to funding breast cancer research (except for taxes and platform fees). The skins will be available from June 25 to July 8, during Overwatch 2's eleventh season.
Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Overwatch 2, has collaborated with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) for the re-release of the Pink Mercy skin. This joint effort aims to raise funds for breast cancer research through the sales of this limited-edition skin. The Pink Mercy skin, which was first released in 2018, is available for purchase in-game and online from June 25 to July 8. In addition, a new Rose Gold Mercy skin has been introduced, which is also part of the charity campaign. The Pink Mercy skin costs $15, while the Rose Gold Mercy Bundle is priced at $20. All proceeds from the sales of these products, excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes, will be donated to BCRF. This collaboration not only offers players a chance to acquire a rare and sought-after skin but also supports a noble cause by contributing to breast cancer research.
The re-released Pink Mercy and the new Rose Gold skins will be available in the Overwatch 2 shop from June 25 to July 8.
