Overwatch’s Anran Voice Actor Publicly Backs Redesign as Hero Nears Launch

Her comments validate player concerns about the shift from earlier art.

Overview

  • Fareeha Anderson confirmed she voices Anran and said she had to “mourn” the gap between the earlier cinematic/comic look and the in-game model.
  • She argued the final face reads as more conventional and younger, which she says clashes with a fiery, strong-willed character.
  • Anderson said she has shared feedback with Blizzard’s team and was encouraged to be open, while also bookmarking community redesigns.
  • Players have criticized a recurring “same face” pattern for female heroes and note Anran’s model differs from her sharper-featured earlier depictions.
  • No redesign has been announced, and Anran is set to join Overwatch in an imminent major update that introduces the new damage hero.
