A user on Reddit by the name of JustburnBurnBURN posted a fan created skin for Moira themed after Lilith fromDiablo.The concept, designed by Ahmad Rozz, completely changes Moira’s appearance to feature several elements from Lilith such as her massive horns, neck jewelry, and deathly pale skin. The concept overall pullsfrom Lilith’s design inDiablo 4with Moira adorning the Queen of the Succubi’s long, tattered robe as seen in her new design.
What could be seen as the most eye-catching element of the skin is the device strapped to Moira’s back. Normally a device to regulate her healing, the piece now appears as a skull with souls taking the place of the tubes. The amount of detail put into the skin is impressive as it features detailed carvings along the skin which Rozz has translated in the character sheet. The overall quality and talent on display is staggering and while it is unknown if Blizzard has seen this conceptlike another fan-made skin,Overwatchfans seem to enjoy it.
One reason the concept of crossover skins may have become as popular as it is could be due to the fan-service nature of it. Some fans enjoy seeing video game worlds collide and reference each other which is something cross-over skins can do.

While it is unknown at this time if theOverwatchdevelopment team plans to add any skins to reference other Blizzard properties, fans can take solace in the community created concepts to bring these ideas to life.
