Looks like a modified version of WV costume(but with a cape??? Or just large shoulder pads)
Interesting choice for earrings.
The fist icon means DPS/Offensive class I guess?
Look forward to check out the gameplay, and the in-game model.

Here is the vid, Wanda appears near the end. I'll be trying this out!
Love is for souls, not bodies.
It's Scottie Young's 10 year anniversary. It's being celebrated with a poster that includes Wanda on it.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
I'm going to regret talking about this, but seeing this new cover for an Avengers reprint reminds me why I'm still worried by the new color guides for Wanda's skin tone. It's more obvious here than usual but even in the Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver mini it seems clear they're coloring Pietro more traditionally while retroactively making Wanda a PoC. At the very least they should look the same, but the "whitewashing" complaints for various reasons have mostly been about Wanda.
I get nervous that at some point the "whitewashing" discourse around MCU Wanda is going to blow up and make it harder for the MCU version to get fixed, which in turn will make it harder for the comic version, because "WandaVision" is the only reason she's gotten so many appearances in the last couple of years after being mostly neglected since her 2015 solo (which also only exists because of the MCU). I find it funny that Marvel is currently trying to appeal to both WV fans and people who think the MCU version is a Nazi.
Sigh. I'm sorry, I should be enjoying her run while it lasts and instead I'm just worried about her getting canceled (literally and figuratively).

She's not gonna be cancelled because she's slightly darker, and yes Pietro should be as well.
I'm also not seeing the lack of Pietro should be darker stuff. People have talked about it.

Same. The similarity to Overwatch is pretty obvious but it doesn't really bother me. The Marvel IP is actually perfect for this type of game so it's funny it took this long.
Obviously no gameplay of Wanda yet but what was shown made me excited already.
The last image makes me think she will play somewhat like Pharah. A flyer with AOE damage attacks but we will see.
"This is me being reasonable"
Well, you're probably right. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have convinced me that the worst-case scenario always happens with Wanda (and a lot of weird things do happen with her thanks to having some of the most convoluted origins in comics).
I think there has been talk about Pietro, just not as much, since Wanda is the more popular character and the MCU version only appeared once. Plus Dauterman probably prepared a more detailed set of guidelines for Wanda than Pietro because it's her series. That would explain why colorists are more consistent with her.
Also credit to this poster for putting it together

It's cool to see how details like that become part of the character.
"This is me being reasonable"
I don't mind the coloring but it's kinda funny that a lot of folks' only comment on Wanda's art design is her skin tone.(Some also bring up eye and hair color, and I am fondly reminded of the hair/eye color inconsistency talk here when we were bored lol.)
And while some Twitter accounts can be incredibly annoying, Wanda's popularity is barely affected by them at the end of the day, everytime she tanks, it's usually some creator/writer's funny idea and perception of her character, not exactly her art design.
If anything, not finding reason to talk about and cancel a character is due to the lack of farmable engagement, which is why Pietro got talked about less.
