Overwatch’s ‘Same Face Syndrome’ Has Claimed Another Victim
Kotaku | 05.02.2026 22:25Overwatch’s character design has gotten a bit homogeneous over the years, and fans have taken notice of it. Specifically, the women of Blizzard’s hero shooter have suffered from a bit of “same face syndrome” for years, with characters like Widowmaker, Ashe, and Freja being nearly identical in some skins. However, it’s gotten especially bad for the game’s East Asian heroes since Kiriko came onto the scene in 2022. Now Anran, one of the new heroes joining the game next week, is the latest victim of this phenomenon.
