The Overwatch Lunar New Year event for 2020 is already here. And with it, we have been enjoying some stunning skins and visuals. The Chinese Brigitte skin is particularly rich in detail.
Overwatch Year of the Rat
This year, Overwatch is celebrating its Lunar New Year event with an amazing Brigitte cosplay that was commissioned by the Blizzard studio in China.
Brigitte’s skin in question – Opera – is a big hit among the Overwatch community (mostly among the Brigitte mains, of course). The new visual turned the support hero into a traditional Chinese Opera performer. The Lunar New Year is a major celebration in Asian countries and the commissioned cosplay of this game skin is absolutely flawless.
The official Blizzard Weibo page in China posted this cosplay on January 17 but did not credit or include the name of the cosplayer herself. Should they add her name, we will update this article to credit the cosplayer.
Brigitte's Opera skin is already incredible, but seeing it recreated in real life makes for a stunning display of heritage, history and honor for the Year of the Rat. The detail included in the cosplay is simply gorgeous. You can clearly see the cosplayer has gone to great lengths to perfect the outfit so one can really appreciate how much hard work has been put into fleshing out the Opera skin.
The rest of the outfit matches the Overwatch skin. The colors are truly on point, hat included, really tying it all together. We can’t help but admire the sheer efforts cosplayers put into their costumes. It’s an incredibly difficult art form and deserves major props. Speaking of props, have you seen the size of that mace? The true scale of it in real life is something else.
The Overwatch cosplay community is full of incredibly talented cosplayers and artists. As far asLunar New Year cosplay goes, this one is brilliant. Blizzarddid not state how long the skin in question took to make in real life, but we can only assume it took a very long time. So, a very big “well done” to the cosplayer overall and a “thank you” to Blizzardfor commissioning this truly great skin.
