In 2026, Overwatch is ramping up its cosmetic offerings, giving players fresh ways to dress their favorite heroes and villains. Blizzard is introducing a variety of new skins, including Legendary, Mythic, and battle pass options, alongside skins available through Stadium and Competitive modes.
New Mythic Skins on the Horizon
Among the standout updates, Mercy is receiving a deluxe Mythic skin titled Celestial Guardian, transforming her into a literal angelic figure. This marks her second Mythic skin, much to the delight of her dedicated fanbase. Additionally, a new weapon skin for Juno will reimagine her Mediblaster as a spaceship piloted by a quirky character. Other heroes slated for Mythic skins include Soldier: 76, Ana, Mauga, and Genji, with weapon skins in development for Genji, Hanzo, and Sojourn.
Sanrio Collaboration: Hello Kitty and Friends
In a unique crossover, Blizzard is teaming up with Sanrio to introduce Hello Kitty and Friends skins. This collaboration will feature skins for Juno, Mercy, D.Va, Lucio, Widowmaker, and Kiriko, bringing the charm of Sanrio’s beloved characters into the Overwatch universe.
Battle Pass and Thematic Skins
As part of the yearlong Reign of Talon storyline, players can expect a range of Overwatch-themed skins for characters like Tracer, Genji, and Sojourn, alongside Talon-themed skins for characters such as Vendetta, Emre, Moira, and Mauga. These skins will be accessible through the battle pass.
Seasonal and Competitive Skins
In a nod to seasonal themes, Mei, Orisa, Mercy, Tracer, and Kiriko will sport new skins designed for rainy days, while Roadhog and D.Va will also receive April showers-themed skins. For competitive players, three new skins will be available in the Stadium mode, including an All-Star skin for Reinhardt and Elite-rank skins for Tracer and Sigma. Blizzard has also teased Void-themed skins for Venture, Sigma, and Illari, along with a new Competitive weapon skin theme titled Crimson Wolf, aligning with the Talon-centric narrative.
