Mercy for A Cause – Pink Mercy Returns in Support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!

Overwatch would not be where it is without you. You’ve pushed the payload, fought to capture the point, and cheered your teams to victory. Whether you are a tank main, damage one-trick, or support superstar, you’re all heroes. Since Overwatch launched in 2016, we’ve had over 100 million players answer the call, and we’re celebrating this milestone with something very special.

One of our favorite memories from this history of Overwatch is when we all came together for a great cause and helped make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. In May 2018, we introduced the Pink Mercy skin, which helped raise $12.7 million USD for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the number-one cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. It is BCRF’s mission to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research. Thanks to all of you, the original two-week campaign became the biggest single donation to BCRF - and still holds that record to this day! It fueled BCRF’s Precision Prevention Initiative (PPI) and key breakthroughs in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and metastasis (a.k.a. stage 4 breast cancer). Specifically, the 2018 donation helped fund researchers who advanced promising AI tools in mammogram imaging, devised models to better predict how aggressive breast cancers will respond to treatment, identify drugs that could potentially delay tumor formation, and more.

Now, to answer the call of so many of you who have been asking for Pink Mercy in the years since, and to once again support an incredible cause, we’re excited to announce beginning on June 25, you can purchase the original Pink Mercy skin for the original price of $14.99 USD, with 100% of the purchase price (excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes) to be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.*

And that’s not all! We’re also giving everyone the chance to help
