Overwatch has brought back its most requested cosmetics and is helping out a charity at the same time. That’s right, Pink Mercy is back — and she’s got a new gold-tinged skin.
Overwatch 2 Season 11 began on June 20, following the Mirrorwatch theme of season 10 with an action-packed battle pass theme inspired by Sentai. As usual with Blizzard’s online multiplayer shooter, we have a new battle pass, a new balance tweak, and a new season of ranked play to start playing. There’s no new character this season, but we do get one more Push card, bringing the total to four.
Season 11 also brings new character mastery courses, mythic shop options, and a new Kiriko shop skin. Here’s what you need to know about Overwatch 2’s final season.
The new Rose Gold Mercy skin gives the character a shiny, strawberry blonde look.
Get the Pink Mercy skin, support cancer research
One of the most desired skins in Overwatch was the Pink Mercy skin, a limited-time cosmetic from 2018 that supported breast cancer research. After years of fans begging Blizzard to bring back the skin, the cosmetic is finally back in the store.
You can buy the old ones Pink ($15) and new rose gold ($20) skins, and 100% of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It’s a good look for the game and I hope it’s the start of more charity items in Overwatch 2. Note that you can’t use coins – you have to buy the skins directly and you’ll have until July 7th to get them .
Overwatch Season 11 Battle Pass
If you’ve seen the Super Sentai Genji skin and wish everyone could get this treatment, Season 11 is made just for you. The new season is themed around Ultrawatch – the game’s colorful take on the Power Rangers – with Genji, Cassidy, Sojourn, Ana and Wrecking Ball getting themed skins. The battle pass also features a savior theme, including skins for Junkrat and Lucio and other skins available in the store.
Sojourn is ready to face the forces of evil in her Ultrawatch form.
New mythic skin
The heroes of Ultrawatch aren’t just fighting any old villain – they’re facing the Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe. Gang leader Deadlock trades in his cowgirl hat for a lot of Rita Repulsa hair and some dark magic. As a reminder, mythic skins have been removed from the battle pass and now exist exclusively in shops where you can spend mythic prisms that can be earned in the premium battle pass or purchased directly from the shop.
Ash is my main damage character so I have high expectations for her mythic skin.
New mythic weapons
Not interested in Mythic Ashe? Hold on to your Mythic Prisms until mid-season and spend them on an entirely new item type: Mythic Weapons. Everyone’s favorite Crusader gets the first mythic weapon called the Bound Demon — an ax-like hammer that glows like lava and has special fire effects to deliver final blows.
Defeat your enemies with the first mythic weapon.
New map: Runasapi
We got a fourth Push card this season and this one shows Ilari’s home in Peru. The Season 11 blog post says we’ll see the Inti Warrior History Museum and Monument, which pays tribute to the group that trained Ilari before she became the sole survivor.
This area of Runasapi shows a tragic part of Illari lore.
Other new things
There are a few other changes happening in Season 11:
- The game added new character mastery courses for Kiriko and Soldier:76.
- Our cries were finally heard: The glass of the Colosseum is gone.
- Weekly challenges are easier and you can catch up if you miss a week.
- The developers adjusted matchmaking to better handle narrow and wide groups.
Okay, take my money.
