The Bear Mei skin clothes Overwatch's favorite climate scientist in soft pink gradients with teal accents. Her leggings sport a wavy, cloud-like pattern, while her coat features a gradient from purple to a very light pink with darker dots across the surface.

Her gloves feature a Rilakkuma-like bear face, and Snowball, her robot companion, also has a snout decal that makes it look like a bear.

Bear Mei Skin Price

Bear Mei can't be purchased per se. Instead, players must unlock it through the weekly challenges for the Archives event.

Bear Mei Skin Release Date

Despite being revealed at the start of the event, Bear Mei won't be available for players to wear until the third week of Overwatch Archives begins March 26.

How to Get Bear Mei Skin

To get Bear Mei, players will need to win nine games of nearly any type of Overwatch in the third week of the Archives event. Wins in Quick Play, Competitive and the Arcade all count toward unlocking the skin. The third week lasts March 26 to April 2.
