Back in May, Overwatch revealed a limited time Pink Mercy legendary skin that cost $15 USD, with 100 percent of the proceeds going toward the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Today, Blizzard announced that the campaign, which ran from May 8-21, raised over $12.7 million and became the largest donation by a corporate partner within one year of the 25-year history of the foundation.

In addition to the Pink Mercy skin, thousands of limited-edition Pink Mercy T-shirts were sold for this cause and contributed to the total, designed by community artist VICKISIGH.

The Overwatch team also announced that $130,000 in donations were made, separately, by watching “14 different Overwatch stars stream on Twitch.”
