With the incredible Brigitte cosplay by her voice actor, they aren’t the first and likely won’t be the last Overwatch VA’s to dress up as their own heroes, but they’ve certainly set the standard high.

Whether or not any of the other actors decide to step up to challenge remains to be seen, but Symmetra and Sombra will take some beating.
