Back in 2018, Blizzard released the Pink Mercy skin for a limited time. Proceeds from the legendary skin supported the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

“Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% [of] the proceeds that it receives from all Pink Mercy skin sales to BCRF, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $250,000 (USD). The total donation amount will be disclosed after the campaign concludes on May 21,“the 2018 announcement stated.

Mercy, also known as Dr. Angela Ziegler, is a support hero in the Overwatch franchise. She was chosen for this skin because she is a brilliant scientist who has dedicated her life to helping others.

The release of the Pink Mercy skin also featured other items such as icons and sprays. Players had to log in to the game and watch charity streams on Twitch to obtain these items.
