Overwatch Plans Two Mythic Hero Skins Every Season
The cosmetic roadmap doubles the usual hero-skin headline while keeping separate Mythic weapons in the seasonal mix.
At a glance
- New target
- 2 Mythic hero skins per season
- Season 1
- Mercy, Juno, then Mei
The seasonal Mythic cadence doubled
Blizzard said the new release structure would target two Mythic hero skins in every season. Season 1 began with Celestial Guardian Mercy and Star Shooter Juno, then scheduled Hop Online Mei for the midcycle.
That cadence gives the Mythic shop more than one hero-focused headline at a time. It also reduces the gap between opportunities for different roles, even though any individual hero can still wait a long time in a roster of this size.
Mythic weapons remain a separate track
The plan did not replace Mythic weapons. Blizzard also previewed future hero skins for Soldier: 76, Illari, and Mauga, alongside weapon releases for Genji, Hanzo, and Sojourn.
Keeping the categories separate matters because a weapon is visible throughout first-person play while a hero skin changes the complete model and presentation. The roadmap suggests both formats will continue rather than one becoming the default Mythic product.
