Overwatch heroes reimagined as Dark Souls bosses

Take away some colour and Blizzard's heroes look menacing.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 26 May 2016

Blizzard's lovely shooter, Overwatch, was released this week and received a glowing review from us (and many others). The popularity of the game has led to plenty of fans creating their very own art inspired by the heroes of the game, often very colourful art. But one artist called Doctaword from Deviantart cleverly went the other way and removed the colours and instead opted for something darker, namely bosses from Dark Souls - and the result is very impressive.

Reinhardt and Roadhog look more towering than ever, the arrow spewing Hanzo looks tormented, and happy campers like Tracer and Winston look like they would make an excellent boss combo in the veins of Ornstein and Smough.

Take a look at some of the drawings below, and check out his other work here .

Thanks, Game Informer.
