Blizzard showed off a quick look at Anran’s redesign in Overwatch, following up on a promise made to do the character justice after her initial in-game reveal prompted widespread backlash.
Blizzard posted the announcement on Monday on the Overwatch X account with an image highlighting major changes and one showing the difference between her new and old model. Primary changes include widening her jaw and cheeks, raising one eyebrow to suggest confidence, and adding freckles and darker shading. She also assumes what Blizzard described in an accompanying graphic as a “more confident pose” in addition to a “more focused” expression.
Anran’s nose was originally a point of contention for how small it was (Anran’s voice actor Fareeha Andersen called it “Ozempic chic”) though that will, apparently, not be changed in the redesign. Blizzard also posted an image showing how Anran’s new look helps her more closely resemble Wuyang, her younger brother in the game.
