Overwatch reveals adorable new Penguin Mei Winter Wonderland skin

Blizzard has revealed the first new skin for Winter Wonderland 2020, and as teasers hinted at, it actually turns Mei and Snowball into penguins, and could be one of her best cosmetics yet.

Like all Overwatch events, Wonderland always brings new skins, sprays, and more for players to unlock, but the holiday event is especially popular because of the winter spin that’s put on everything from loot boxes to maps.

We now know that the event will begin later than ever this year on Tuesday, December 15, thanks to a teaser from Overwatch on Twitter, that also hinted at Mei’s new skin.

We never knew how badly we needed Snowball as a penguin until we saw that trailer, but it was only the tip of the iceberg (literally) when it comes to how great this skin really is.

Not only is her faithful robot companion playing the part, but Mei is also dressed up in a penguin parka that literally turns her into one of the cute little flightless birds.

On her backpack, she carries an egg inside and even a little fish keychain off of the back. Either she was studying a flock of penguins while living in Antarctica or had to make it past an aggressive pack on her way out, following her cinematic.

This will be Mei’s second Winter skin overall, her Mei-rry skin being the other one. While Santa Mei is sure to continue being a holiday favorite, the Penguin skin is just so different we’d say it’s one of her best yet.

The price and rarity are currently unknown, but it will most likely be available as a Legendary based on how much of her base skin it changes, which means it would cost 3,000 coins to unlock from the Hero Gallery if you don’t want to wait and try your luck with loot boxes.

Mei is currently the only character we’ve seen included at all with teasers of Overwatch’s 2020 Winter Wonderland event, so the other heroes getting new skins are currently unknown, but we should keep getting previews until things kick off on December 15.
