Blizzard has confirmed it is discussing visual changes to new Overwatch hero Anran following negative reaction to her appearance. The response comes after players and Anran’s own voice actor publicly raised issues with the character’s look in the days after her reveal. The studio says it wants the hero to land better with the community and is exploring adjustments.

  • Developer response: Blizzard acknowledged the criticism and is considering tweaks to Anran’s in-game visuals rather than leaving the design as-is.
  • Voices raised: Both community members and Anran’s voice actor contributed to the conversation, prompting the studio to take another look at the hero.
  • Timing unclear: Blizzard has opened talks about a redesign but has not provided a firm timeline for any changes or future updates.
  • Community impact: The incident highlights how player feedback and talent involved in a project can influence live-service design decisions.
