Overwatch 2's Evolution: The Journey of Mythic Skins

With the introduction of Overwatch 2, the game's economy took a turn from loot boxes to a more engaging seasonal battle pass system. The Mythic Skins, unlocked at the season's end, were seen as a reward for enduring the grind.

Unlike other skins in Overwatch, these were designed to be somewhat customizable, allowing players to add their personal touch. In its first year, seven iconic heroes received their Mythic skins, mostly to positive reviews. However, the recent reveal of the season eight skin for Orisa has led to concerns about a decline in Mythic Skin quality.

Overwatch 2's New Story Missions: A Worthy Investment?

As the game evolves, so do its challenges and rewards. But is it worth it? Check out our video review for an in-depth look.

The Evolution of Mythic Skins

Credit where it's due, Overwatch 2 has delivered some impressive Mythic Skins since its launch last year. Tracer's Adventurer skin and Ana's A-7000 Wargod skin are just a few examples of the unique and engaging designs we've seen.

The Changing Face of Mythic Skins

Each Mythic skin in the past came with interchangeable color palettes, weapon appearances, and costume pieces. This level of personalization was the main appeal of Mythic Skins. However, the recent seasons seem to have reduced this aspect.

Customization: A Missing Piece?

Hanzo's Onryō skin has fewer customization options than any previous Mythic Skin. The upcoming Grand Beast skin for Orisa seems to follow this trend, leading to concerns about the uniqueness and appeal of future skins.

Fan Reactions to Recent Changes

Many fans have voiced their concerns about the decreasing level of customization in recent Mythic Skins. Some have also pointed out the striking resemblance between Orisa's base Mythic Skin and her Megasoma skin.

The Battle Pass Grind: Is It Still Worth It?

I've spent many hours grinding through every Overwatch 2 battle pass in 2023. But the recent changes to the Mythic Skins have left me questioning if the grind is still worth it. The lack of customization has taken away some of the appeal of these rare skins.

Despite these changes, Overwatch 2 still offers plenty of other cosmetics to unlock. However, it's a shame to see the once coveted Mythic Skins lose some of their shine.
