Overwatch . It literally doesn’t matter whether you’ve put a single minute of time into this game, you know the name. It’s super popular among those that play it and almost equally well-known among those that don’t. The character designs are expansive and variable, thus attracting cosplayers of all kinds. Here we’ve got some of our favorite Overwatch cosplays collected into one place.

Widowmaker
Widowmaker is our first character cosplayed in our list. This ruthless assassin shows no emotion or remorse for those that she kills. In our opinion, AzureBluevison has nailed this sentiment in her cosplay. Her Widowmaker looks like she kicks butt and takes names all while looking as beautiful as can be.

Roadhog
Roadhog, Mako Rutledge, whatever you call this commanding Australian, it’s clear that he’ll mess you up given the chance. This Roadhog cosplay paid special attention to detail and added all the little things that make Roadhog who he is. The tattoo in particular is really well done. The mask could use a little improvement, but otherwise this cosplayer is on the way to fame!

D.Va
Aza Miyuko is a pretty well-known cosplayer in her own right. In our opinion her D.Va cosplay is the one to pay attention to. She’s got all the details down, and her body suit fits perfectly! Posing is equally important in cosplay and Aza’s fully prepared with gum to bring D.Va’s personality to life.

Mei
Mei is a cosplay that will always be difficult to pull off for one reason only. The character is obviously better suited to frigid climates! I can’t image attention SDCC in a parka! Even still, this brave cosplayer decided to put her core body temperature concerns aside and put together a stellar Mei cosplay. We love the pose she’s used as well, action shot, go!

Mercy
The competition is heating up at this point in the list. Our top four Overwatch cosplays are all incredibly fantastic, so it was a close race. Rounding out the top however is this beautiful Mercy cosplay. Our favorite guardian angel is brought to life by OshleyCosplay wonderfully. The slight translucency to Mercy’s wings is beautiful to look at.

Genji (Female)
Genji, the armor wearing cyborg ninja, is mysterious to look at. His helmet hides his true appearance, and that makes him perfect for a crossplay. Crossplay is, of course, when a character is gender-bent from male to female or vice versa. In this case we’ve got a female Genji, and frankly, the character has never looked better. The armor on this cosplay is amazingly well created, and looks even better in a full portrait photo.

Reaper
Reaper is an unforgettable face. He’s a veritable ghost running through the maps in his shadow form. His black robes, skull-like mask, and unknown identity make him a formidable sight. The quality of this cosplay version of him is incredibly high. The posing is equally good. Let a shiver of fear run down your spine as you stare into the barrels of Reaper’s pistols.

Anubis Pharah
I saw this cosplay in a video on Facebook quite some time ago and never forgot it. Germia’s Anubis Pharah cosplay has won our top spot for its attention to detail and staying power. When you see this cosplay, especially the hidden parts of it, you’ll never forget it. Photos don’t do it justice, so make sure you go to Germia’s cosplay page and watch the video detailing all the special parts. Hidden rockets? Check. Actual firing gun? Check. Robotic wings? Double check. Germia’s Pharah is our top Overwatch cosplay.
