A second wave of magical-hero cosmetics

Blizzard's BlizzCon Dokiwatch panel previewed another collection for Season 5. Contemporary reveal coverage identifies Mercy, Anran, Illari, Lifeweaver and Ramattra in the lineup and reports October 20 as the arrival date. Ramattra's entry was presented as an Ultra skin.

The official social recap was posted late September 12 in Pacific time, although its UTC date is September 13. The panel also showed concept work and early designs. That material is a look at development, not a reason to label every discarded concept as an additional confirmed shop item.

The collection is separate from the main story

Dokiwatch uses its own magical-hero universe. Familiar Overwatch characters appearing in that setting do not make its transformations and fantasy powers part of the main Reign of Talon storyline. The newly released comic can be read alongside the collection without collapsing the two continuities.

The reveal sets an October 20 release target for the next collection and gives Dokiwatch fans a new cosmetic milestone after the BlizzCon presentation. Ramattra's Ultra skin is a highlighted part of that announcement, while the full item breakdown and pricing will matter when the collection reaches the client. The magical-hero theme also has a companion comic, giving fans another way to follow the setting without treating a shop purchase as a prerequisite for the story.
