This came up again after players spotted a new Overwatch 2 Symmetra skin called Art Deco present in the Hero Gallery.
Skin gives the Indian DPS hero a pretty stylish black and gold dress, complete with matching boots, a redesign of her prosthetic arm, and a chic new hairdo. It combines the legendary Cyber Dragon Hanzo skin with a horned demonic black and yellow archer skin and the epic green and white themed Prideful Reinhardt skin with a lion mask. All three skins look pretty dramatic but still raise price concerns.
