Blizzard announced plans to redesign Overwatch hero Anran during Season 1 after community backlash and criticism from her voice actor. Players and voice actor Fareeha Andersen criticized the character's final in-game appearance for having homogeneous facial features similar to other East Asian women characters (Kiriko and Juno), departing from the sharper, more distinctive features shown in promotional materials. Game director Aaron Keller acknowledged the concerns and confirmed the team is working on updates to make Anran look more like the 'fierce older sister' originally envisioned, though the timeline depends on the complexity of hero model modifications.
