Thanks to new fan art, gamers can see what the Banana Ana skin meme would look like inOverwatch 2. A concept artist known as Evanyla recently created a skin concept forOverwatch 2that transformed the look of the support into that of a yellow banana. The artwork that was posted to the Overwatch Cavalry Twitter account showed Ana wearing clothing with yellow-colored accents. However, the main highlight of the design was a ripening banana peel the character had draped around her.
The artwork included an impressive amount of detail, rivaling some of the official skins created by Blizzard forOverwatch 2. However, the artist humorously gave the skin a price of 1Overwatch Coinand named it “Banana.” In addition to a close-up image of the design, Evanyla made a mock-up of the skin concept in the hero menu, making it feel like a legitimate in-game cosmetic.
Unsurprisingly, this skin concept has been a hit with numerous members of theOverwatch 2community.
