Blizzard Entertainment has announced a limited-time partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, allowing players to help raise funds to combat the deadly disease by purchasing a new outfit.

Overwatch has introduced a brand new skin into the mix, Pink Mercy, which is available to buy now until later this month. The best bit? 100% of all proceeds gathered from purchases of this outfit will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

Mercy is a fitting character for the cause, seeing as how she's described as a scientist and 'guardian angel' of Overwatch, who has dedicated her life to 'helping and healing others.' The Pink Mery skin is on sale for $14.99 and is available until May 21.

'Show your support for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation as Overwatch’s peerless scientist and guardian angel, Mercy, in her new Pink skin—available for a limited time,' commented Blizzard. 'BCRF’s mission is to advance the world's most promising research to eradicate breast cancer.'

There's also a Pink Mercy t-shirt up for grabs on the Blizzard gear store in addition to the in-game skin. Again, all proceeds will be donated to the BCRF.

Overwatch is out now for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
