Blizzard has revealed new skins for Symmetra, Reaper, McCree, Junkrat, and Zenyatta, all to be released on Jan. 23. As epic skins, they’re fairly simple compared to Overwatch’s legendaries, but there are some standouts. Reaper’s skin gives him a creepy cultist look with a horned-mask and lava-colored details. Zenyatta’s new epic skin changes his traditional colors to black and bright green, but his sleek, alien-like mask is the highlight.

Symmetra, McCree, and Junkrat look more like standard recolorings of their traditional skins, but with special twists. Junkrat’s, for instance, sees his look changed up with safety strips, as if Junkrat was concerned with controlling his explosions.

Earlier in the week, Blizzard revealed Overwatch’s new legendary skins for Hanzo, Lúcio, and Pharah. The developer teased a potential new legendary skin for D.Va in its spray reveal—but we’re still waiting for that one.

All of the new sprays, emotes, and skins will launch alongside Overwatch’s new map, Blizzard World, on Jan. 23.
