Blizzard Entertainment is ramping up its marketing efforts for the upcoming Season 5 of Overwatch 2, which will feature a fantasy-themed collection of skins including the highly anticipated Demon Lord Reinhardt. As Season 4 draws to a close with the Pride event, players can look forward to Questwatch and the Summer Games event in Season 5, along with several balance adjustments including a nerf to Widowmaker and a buff for Lifeweaver. Despite significant changes to Lifeweaver, the hero remains a fan favorite. Although the cancellation of the Hero mode has disappointed the community, the developers are forging ahead with their PvP roadmap. Set to launch on June 13, Season 5 promises to bring plenty of "Mischief and Magic" to the game with a slew of new fantasy cosmetics and a cinematic reveal.
The Overwatch community is abuzz with excitement over the latest Mythic skins revealed by Blizzard for Season 5. This time around, Tracer will be joined by Genji the Knight, Orisa the Gryphon, and Reinhardt, who looks particularly imposing as a Demon Lord. The Overwatch cosmetics team has a reputation for delivering exceptional skins, and these new ones are no exception, with fans expressing their enthusiasm across social media. Unlike previous season-themed skins, which were only available through the Battle Pass, players can now earn these skins through reward tracks rather than purchasing them in-game.
Despite the positive response to the new skins, Season 5 of Overwatch 2 has received a rather lukewarm reception overall, with many fans feeling like it's a filler season. With the Hero mode officially scrapped, players are hoping for more content per update, but it may be some time before they see the benefits of this decision.
Fans eagerly anticipate the reveal of the full range of skins for Overwatch 2 Season 5, as they await the possibility of Ana receiving a more dynamic appearance and a knightly outfit for Brigitte. The community will have to wait until the "Mischief and Magic" event on June 13 to uncover the new skins. Overwatch 2 is currently accessible in early access on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
