The legendary skin has Mei wearing a very comfy and cute penguin onsie. It comes with a hood, with the penguin’s eyes and beak above Mei’s face. The onesie looks like it’s made of quite durable material meant to allow Mei to journey into the cold and do her research while staying warm and dry. There’s also a fish keychain charm hanging off of her weapon.

Snowball, her trusty robot, will also be wearing a penguin costume. This penguin Snowball outfit was first seen on Overwatch’s EU account. The official Twitter account shared Mei’s new Winter Wonderland highlight clip, which showed Snowball hovering over a nest full of eggs.

Fans celebrate Penguin Mei coming to Overwatch

When fans first saw the teaser, they immediately began speculating that Mei would get a penguin skin to match it. Of course, no one knew for sure. But it was something Overwatch fans wanted very, very badly, for obvious reasons. And now, Penguin Mei is a reality.

Overwatch players will be able to get their hands on the wholesome skin tomorrow when Winter Wonderland begins.

Earlier this morning, a legendary skin for Zenyatta was also revealed. The skin is called Toybot Zenyatta and has the peaceful robot looking like a child-friendly toy robot with a pixelated smile.

Toy to the world!
