Overwatch 2 Celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride With New Profile Icons And Name Cards
Celebrate your Pride with these account cosmetics.
Overwatch 2 wants to create a futuristic world worth fighting for. In their latest news update, they have announced a series of LGBTQ+ Pride profile icons and name cards being added to the shooter.
"A core tenet of Overwatch 2 is giving everyone a chance to play the way they want, by choosing between different roles, unique playstyles, and diverse heroes that best fit each person’s individuality," the post reads. "Outside of matches, we want people playing Overwatch 2 to have a way to proudly celebrate who they are. Cosmetics such as Player Icons and Name Cards are a means to represent that for those who want a reflection of themselves in our universe."
Name Cards include a lesbian card for Tracer, a gay card for Soldier: 76, a pansexual card for Lifeweaver, a bisexual card for Baptiste, and a lesbian card for Pharah.
During the month of June, the Midtown map will be updated to take place just after a Pride parade.
You can check out all the new Name Cards and Player Icons over on the official Overwatch 2 site.
Note: Activision Blizzard has been sued by California’s Civil Rights Department, alleging violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act and Equal Pay Act. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about the alleged violations within his company. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
