Summary
AnOverwatchfan made an amusing discovery as they came across a customized motorcycle themed after the fan-favorite character D.Va while on vacation in France. D.Va is one of the more popular characters from theOverwatchfranchise, debuting as one of its first-ever heroes when the first game launched in 2016.
Overwatch 2has a huge roster of playable characterstaking on various different roles, and D.Va in particular is known for being fairly speedy and adept at aerial maneuvering despite her role as a tank. Since she is often seen flying around the map at high speeds blasting enemies with the dual guns on both sides of her airborne mech, it may not be a huge stretch to model something as fast as a motorcycle after the character.
Reddit user bast3t posted an image of the bike to the r/Overwatch subreddit, jokingly asking the community which of them owned the vehicle and stating that they found it in the city of Antibes, France while on vacation. Commenters were quick to chime in with jokes and praise for the bike’s color scheme, which matches that ofthe mech D.Va uses inOverwatch 2while also pointing out a unique quirk about the bike’s license plate number.
The D.Va Bike Goes Beyond a Mere Paint Job
The original image clearly shows the letters “EZ” printed on the license plate, which is likely a reference to one of D.Va’s in-game sprays that uses a similar phrase. However, more keen-eyed fans pointed out that the number “995” on the plate could also be translated into letters to say “GGS” while the letters “VV” could be taken to be a replacement for the letter “W” for “win.”
Of course, this is all speculation, as the original poster never mentioned whether they managed to find out more about it from the owner, thoughOverwatchfans are no strangers to meticulously detailed merchandise likethe D.Va-themed car another fan foundin the past. The original poster did mention the owner’s Instagram handle, Shadowquinnzel, where they seemingly have more photos of the bike for fans who wish to see it in further detail.
Even despite thecontroversies surroundingOverwatch 2,curious finds like this prove how resilient the game’s fanbase still is, as many are deeply invested in its cast of heroes. There is no shortage of impressive fan designs, cosplays, and other community-driven expressions of affection for Blizzard’s hero-based shooter franchise.
