Mirrorwatch Begins Today - Overwatch 2 Limited-Time Event
The familiar transforms into the unexpected when you embark on a journey through the looking glass with Mirrorwatch, Overwatch 2's latest limited-time event, now available through May 13. You’re invited to explore this parallel reality where the line between good and evil blurs as heroes and villains switch sides.
Glimpse into the Mirror
In this limited-time, non-canon event, Overwatch 2 introduces players to a mirrored universe where familiar faces adopt new personas, alignments, and abilities. You’ll be playing a 5v5 role queue in a world where Mercy leads Talon with a powerful rocket launcher, and Doomfist rallies Overwatch with a new Power Block shield. Try out the new Mirrorwatch event, where heroes swap teams and players must adapt to a whole new dynamic of gameplay.
In Mirrorwatch, not only are heroes swapping sides, but they’re also equipped with entirely reimagined abilities to reflect their new alignments. Experience your favorite characters in a whole new light as they wield powers of their alternate personas.
From altered Ultimate ablities to revamped abilities, these heroes offer a fresh and exciting twist to the game. You’ll also visit a Mirrorwatch version of Watchpoint: Gibraltar, where familiar landscapes are transformed into an alternate battleground. Beware the shadows of Talon looming overhead in this sinister takeover of the iconic Escort map.
Challenges and Rewards
Participate in Mirrorwatch challenges to earn epic rewards, including a new Legendary OR-UNIT Orisa skin. Additional rewards to collect include themed sprays, voice lines, name cards, a diabolical weapon charm, and more. You can also earn up to 50,000 bonus Battle Pass XP and unlock even more rewards in the Mirrorwatch-themed Battle Pass.
Upgrade to the Premium Battle Pass and earn up to 80 Mythic Prisms to unlock the all-new Mythic Vengence Mercy skin or select previous Mythic hero skins now available in the Mythic Shop. You can also unlock many Mirrorwatch-themed skins seen in this event, including Strike Commander Doomfist, Talon Brigitte, and Captain Lacroix Widowmaker, along with over 80 tiers of additional rewards.
Embrace Mirrorwatch
Explore the unknown and rewrite the reality of your favorite Overwatch 2 heroes and villains. Mark your calendars, rally your team, and don't miss your chance to experience the chaos — this limited-time Mirrorwatch ends on May 13.

Choose Your Mythic Skin with the New Mythic Shop
Mythic hero skins are the ultimate customization for heroes in Overwatch 2. Every Mythic hero skin is uniquely crafted to push the limits in artwork, animation, and effects. Players have had the chance to Dragon Blade in high-tech style with Cyberdemon Genji, conquer the galaxy with Infinite Emperor Sigma, and save Overland with Adventurer Tracer. Now, whether you are coming back for a new season or are a brand-new player, you can collect the Mythic hero skins for your favorite heroes and level up with the customizations you want in the all-new Mythic Shop. We’re excited to give you the choice of what Mythic skins you want to collect, and this update is just the start as we continue to evolve Mythic cosmetics.
Keep reading how you can progress through the Premium Battle Pass and earn your way to your next Mythic skin.
Collect New Mythic Prisms in the Premium Battle Pass
We’re giving you the choice to select your own Mythic Hero skin. Whether you are adding the new Vengeance Mercy Mythic, or getting a skin for one of your favorite heroes, you get to pick what Mythic hero skin to unlock by collecting Mythic Prisms. The best way to get Mythic Prisms is by collecting them as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass. Here’s how it will work.
Starting on Tier 8, you’ll collect 8 Mythic Prisms every 10 tiers until Tier 78. At Tier 48, you’ll be able to unlock the base level of Mythic hero skin that you want to collect and can unlock more customization levels every time you earn 10 Mythic Prisms. Once you complete Tier 78 of your Premium Battle Pass, you’ll earn enough Mythic Prisms to unlock the remaining customization levels for your Mythic hero skin. Completing your Premium Battle Pass every season is the best way to earning Mythic Prisms, allowing you to unlock the choice of your next Mythic hero skin and all of that skin’s customizations every season.
Choose Your Mythic
Mythic Prisms can be redeemed in the Mythic Shop, dedicated entirely to collecting Mythic hero skins. Each season, you can spend your Mythic Prisms on the newest Mythic hero skin released that season or choose from your favorite Mythic hero skins released in earlier seasons.
Right now, you can be among the first players to unlock the new Vengeance Mercy Mythic Hero Skin, which is the featured Mythic skin for Season 10. The featured Mythic hero skin for each season will only be available for a limited time to redeem—the length of that season—then cycle out of the Mythic Shop for the following two seasons. You can continue to upgrade your owned Mythic hero skins with levels of customization even after that skin leaves the Mythic Shop after their featured season ends.
The Mythic shop allows you to get the Mythic hero skins you want to get first or catch up from past seasons you may have missed. While not every previous Mythic skin will be immediately available, you’ll be able to pick up the Mythic hero skins from Seasons 1 through 7, including favorites like Cyberdemon Genji, Sun Deity Kiriko, and A6000 Warbot Ana, just to name a few starting in Season 10. When Season 11 comes, you have your chance again to pick up Grand Beast Orisa. Then in Season 12, you can have another chance to summon Ancient Caller Moira and add her to your collection.
Level Up Your Mythic
Each Mythic hero skin will now have multiple levels of unlockable customization, with the base level unlocked for 50 Mythic Prisms. Your base skin will include one set of customizations, along with other cool features such as voice effects, voice interactions, animations, or unique VFX that make you stand out on the battlefield.
Then, level up your Mythic hero skin with up to three more levels of customization. Each additional level requires 10 Prisms and will unlock access to additional cosmetic configurations, color options, and weapon styles. Skin levels need to be progressed and unlocked sequentially as you work your way to the top level and unlock all of the customizations for your Mythic hero skin.
We look forward to hearing what you think as we continue to evolve this new feature and add new Mythic cosmetics to the game. Mythic Prisms and the Mythic Shop, along with the new Vengeance Mercy Mythic Hero Skin, is now live with Season 10, so pick up the Premium Battle Pass today and start collecting Mythic Prisms to unlock the Mythic hero skin you want.
F.A.Q.
If I just want to get the Mythic hero skin, can I just purchase the Mythic hero skin directly?
Mythic hero skins and customizations are unlocked with Mythic Prisms. The best way to unlock a Mythic hero skin and all that skin’s customizations is by upgrading and completing the Premium Battle Pass versus purchasing Mythic Prisms directly. You can unlock Premium Battle Pass with 1,000 Overwatch Coins or when you purchase the Ultimate Battle Pass bundle.
How many Mythic Prisms will I earn through the completion of a Premium Battle Pass?
You can earn 80 Mythic Prisms if you can complete the Premium Battle Pass, which is enough to unlock and fully customize the Mythic hero skin of your choice.
What happens when I spend all of the Mythic Prisms from this season’s Premium Battle Pass, and I want to unlock more Mythic hero skins and customizations?
The Premium Battle Pass is the best way as it always provides enough Mythic Prisms to unlock all levels of one Mythic hero skin per season. However, if you would like more Prisms to unlock an additional Mythic hero skin or customization, you can directly purchase additional Mythic Prisms in-game through the Battle.net shop or your game platform store.
Can I only unlock new Mythic Hero Skins in the season they premiere in?
Each season features a new Mythic hero skin to collect, but if you don’t unlock it by the time the season completes, they will be taken out of the shop for two seasons, and you will need to wait until the third season to have another chance to unlock and collect that skin.
What happens if I unlock only a part of a new Mythic hero skin, like the Vengeance Mythic Mercy skin in Season 10, but the season ends? Can I still unlock parts of Vengeance Mythic Mercy right away?
As long as you unlock the base Mythic hero skin (first level) while it is available in the Mythic shop, you will be able to unlock additional customizations even when the base Mythic hero skin is not available. If you do not unlock the base level of a season-featured Mythic hero skin before the season ends, you will need to wait two seasons before you can have another chance to unlock it.
Can I unlock the level 4 customizations first, before the other levels?
You can only unlock levels in sequential order as you upgrade your Mythic hero skin. This means level 1 must be unlocked before level 2, and so forth, each unlocking customizations including colors, armor configurations, and weapon styles. There is an option to “unlock all” levels at once when viewing a Mythic hero skin, which is available, providing you have enough Mythic Prisms to complete the unlock.
Can I use Overwatch Coins or Credits to buy Mythic hero skins or upgrades?
No, only Mythic Prisms can unlock Mythic hero skins and customizations, and Coins and Credits cannot be redeemed for Prisms.
Can Mythic Prisms be used to unlock Legendary or other Overwatch content from the In-Game Shop or Hero Gallery?
No, you must use Coins or Credits to unlock content from the In-Game Shop or Hero Gallery (the available content that can be collected with Overwatch Credits will vary).
Can I earn Mythic Prisms from the free Battle Pass or through any Challenges?
No. Mythic Prisms can only be earned by progressing through the Premium Battle Pass or through directly purchasing Prisms in game.
How many levels of customization are there for Mythic hero skins?
Most Mythic Hero Skins currently have three additional levels of customization after you unlock the base Mythic Hero Skin.
Keep reading how you can progress through the Premium Battle Pass and earn your way to your next Mythic skin.

Overwatch 2 Season 10 Official Preview
As we dig into Season 10 of Overwatch 2, we're thrilled to introduce our newest hero, Venture. We also have a first look at our new game mode, Clash, and updates to how you acquire new Heroes. So, get ready to embark on an epic excavation of greatness!
You Can’t Spell Adventure without Venture
Break ground with the newest Damage hero, Venture, a spirited archaeologist who channels their passion for history into daring acts of heroism. Armed with a massive drill and an arsenal of seismic abilities, Venture brings a fresh dynamic to the battlefield (and underneath it). Outwit your adversaries and unearth victory as you dive, dig, drill, and deliver massive damage in the process.
Harnessing the power of their Smart Excavator, Venture primarily launches unstable seismic energy that explodes, and deals burst damage. With their Burrow ability, they can become invulnerable underground while gathering momentum for a calculated ambush upon re-emergence. Then use Drill Dash to dash forward to make some space as you knock opponents back. When you’re ready to totally obliterate anyone foolish enough to be in your path, Venture can unleash a massive shockwave with their Tectonic Shock Ultimate. Whether you’re traversing a covert subterranean path or bursting out to engage in close-quarter combat, Venture offers versatile gameplay that will wreak havoc on your adversaries.
Dig Into the Battle with Venture and All Overwatch Heroes Right Away
We want every player to be able to experience all the excitement that each hero has to offer. So, starting with Venture, all past, present, and future heroes will be unlocked immediately for everyone who has completed their new player experience. Also, since Venture got some fantastic field experience from their Hero Trial, we’ve made some adjustments to their kit, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ll be releasing Venture into Competitive right away when Season 10 begins tomorrow.
This is a pretty major change from past heroes, but we’ve always wanted to allow new heroes into Competitive when a new season for Overwatch 2 launches. In the past, we wanted to make sure new heroes were free of any bugs or outstanding balance issues, as well as giving players enough time to unlock a hero from the Battle Pass. Because of the recent hero trial, and now unlocking all heroes, we’re confident Venture is ready to jump into the action right away. So, Venture forth and break some ground – all of it.
Allegiances Change in Mirrorwatch
Discover a world turned over in the reversed reality adventure, Mirrorwatch: a limited-time event set in a mirror universe where the virtuous have crumbled into villainy, and the wicked emerge as heroes. Swap alignments and experiment with reimagined Heroes and abilities like Strike Commander Doomfist’s Power Block shield, Vengeance Mercy's Soul Burn detonation, and Agent Colomar Sombra's Anti-Virus Ultimate. Twist reality further, taking the fight into a redesigned Watchpoint Gibraltar, where Talon has taken over. Explore this unique mirror universe for a limited time from April 23 to May 13.
New Ways to Earn and Unlock Rewards
In response to your feedback, we're embarking on a journey to make it easier to earn rewards and give you more control over your Overwatch 2 experience. To that end, Coins are coming out of Weekly Challenges and going into the Battle Pass, making them easier to earn as you play. But that's not all – we’re pumping up the number of Coins you can earn per season, with up to 600 Overwatch Coins now available through the Battle Pass.
Choose Your Mythic Path
In Season 10, we are introducing Mythic Prisms which will allow you to pick the Mythic hero skin of your choice. The best way to collect Mythic Prisms is by upgrading to the Premium Battle Pass. The Mythic Prisms you collect can be used to unlock and upgrade Mythic hero skins and upgrade them with unlockable customizations. Once you conquer the Premium Battle Pass, you will have 80 Prisms, which is enough to fully unlock one complete Mythic skin, making this the best way to get Mythic Prisms every season.
This season, our newest Mythic hero skin is none other than Vengeance Mercy! Taking up the name “Vengeance,” Dr. Angela Ziegler leads Talon in a fight for a better world, where she wields full control over life and death. Mythic Vengeance Mercy will have three new color combinations and masks available, as well as two hair options and Caduceus Staff variations to unlock.
Not a Mercy Main? Not a problem. You can also choose to spend your Mythic Prisms to pick up select previous Mythic hero skins like Mythic Cyberdemon Genji, Amaterasu Kiriko, and Galactic Emperor Sigma, or you can save them for new Mythic cosmetics that may appear in the shop in the future. Stay tuned for a deeper dive into Mythic Prisms, unlocks, progression, and more when Season 10 officially launches tomorrow.
Blur the Lines Between Good and Evil in the Battle Pass
Evil is good and heroes have fallen: earn over 80 tiers of rewards when you pick up the Mirrorwatch-themed Season 10 Premium Battle Pass. Collect new Legendary skins including Agent Colomar Sombra, Junker Symmetra, Strike Commander Ogundimu Doomfist, Talon Brigitte, Captain Lacroix Widowmaker, and more. Step further into the mirror universe with the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle, which is stacked with 2000 Overwatch Coins, 20 tier skips, plus the Fallen Knight Reinhardt and Arch-Commandant Amari Legendary skins.
Clash for the Win
Prepare for the adrenaline-pumping Clash game mode, a limited-time trial to start Season 10. This ultimate tug-of-war challenges teams to capture points along a linear path. With five capture points strategically placed on a mirrored map, teams must deftly maneuver to capture and defend points to clinch victory. Dynamic spawns and streamlined map routes expedite your return to the fight, maximizing time spent in the heat of battle.
The Clash trial will allow you to explore Hanaoka, a brand-new map spanning an area within the beloved Hanamura district, offering fresh battlegrounds to conquer with a familiar feel. Don't miss out on the Clash trial, now available in the Arcade, from April 16 to April 29.
Wreck and Roll with Hero Updates
Wrecking Ball is rolling onto the scene with a few new upgrades to his kit. Wrecking Ball can now protect his teammates as you dive into the enemy lines and use Adaptive Shield, providing the option to transfer some of the additional shield health to nearby allies. Grappling Claw gets a new upgrade for greater control as you swing: now you can press primary fire while the claw is attached to the map terrain and retract Wrecking Ball for additional mobility. Lastly, Grappling Claw’s cooldown has been adjusted to be partially refunded if you don’t reach fireball speeds.
We also have a variety of other balance changes coming this season. Sombra and Tracer have been powerful picks since we introduced our core gameplay updates last season, so we’re toning down their kits. Sombra’s virus will have less damage dealt over time to help compensate for the initial burst damage, and Tracer’s Pulse bomb will now be more difficult to land on targets to level the field a bit when playing against her. Going into this season, many of our Tanks will receive small buffs to give heroes like Reinhardt more impact with abilities like Earthshatter. Finally, we’re shifting the power between damage and healing for some of our support heroes, including Moira and Illari, along with providing some buffs for Lifeweaver to better tune his kit. Check out these changes in detail in our Patch Notes preview on the forums.
Updates to Competitive and More
We’ve got some major updates for Competitive Play - first up, you can now unlock any Golden Weapon with 2024 Competitive Points. Note you can’t spend the balance of your Legacy Competitive Points with your 2024 Points when redeeming for any Golden Weapon Variant though.
We're making it easier for friends to play together in Competitive by removing grouping restrictions. Groups that have widely varied skill levels will be placed in a “Wide Group.” These Wide Groups will only ever play against other Wide Groups, meaning your matches may be a little sillier, take longer to queue, and you will receive less gains and losses to your rank after games. Solo players will never encounter wide groups, as you can only make a Wide Group of up to three people.
Defense Matrix is getting an update, with new leaver penalty updates for both Unranked and Competitive modes. Finally, Streamer Protect now includes server-side features to hide your name from teammates and opponents in your games, instead of just covering your name in your own game client. Learn more about grouping restrictions, disruptive play mitigation, and other future updates in our recent Developer Update and our Defense Matrix blog.
Fair and fun competitive play is a priority for our team, and we will continue to upgrade our Defense Matrix to mitigate disruptive play.
Start your adventure and drill into the competition with this exciting new chapter in Overwatch 2. Log on tomorrow and unearth greatness in Season 10 firsthand. See you on (or underneath) the battlefield, heroes!

Break ground with the newest Damage hero, Venture, a spirited archaeologist who channels their passion for history into daring acts of heroism. Armed with a massive drill and an arsenal of seismic abilities, Venture brings a fresh dynamic to the battlefield (and underneath it). Outwit your adversaries and unearth victory as you dive, dig, drill, and deliver massive damage in the process.
Harnessing the power of their Smart Excavator, Venture primarily launches unstable seismic energy that explodes, and deals burst damage. With their Burrow ability, they can become invulnerable underground while gathering momentum for a calculated ambush upon re-emergence. Then use Drill Dash to dash forward to make some space as you knock opponents back. When you’re ready to totally obliterate anyone foolish enough to be in your path, Venture can unleash a massive shockwave with their Tectonic Shock Ultimate. Whether you’re traversing a covert subterranean path or bursting out to engage in close-quarter combat, Venture offers versatile gameplay that will wreak havoc on your adversaries.
Dig Into the Battle with Venture and All Overwatch Heroes Right Away
We want every player to be able to experience all the excitement that each hero has to offer. So, starting with Venture, all past, present, and future heroes will be unlocked immediately for everyone who has completed their new player experience. Also, since Venture got some fantastic field experience from their Hero Trial, we’ve made some adjustments to their kit, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ll be releasing Venture into Competitive right away when Season 10 begins tomorrow.
This is a pretty major change from past heroes, but we’ve always wanted to allow new heroes into Competitive when a new season for Overwatch 2 launches. In the past, we wanted to make sure new heroes were free of any bugs or outstanding balance issues, as well as giving players enough time to unlock a hero from the Battle Pass. Because of the recent hero trial, and now unlocking all heroes, we’re confident Venture is ready to jump into the action right away. So, Venture forth and break some ground – all of it.
Allegiances Change in Mirrorwatch
Discover a world turned over in the reversed reality adventure, Mirrorwatch: a limited-time event set in a mirror universe where the virtuous have crumbled into villainy, and the wicked emerge as heroes. Swap alignments and experiment with reimagined Heroes and abilities like Strike Commander Doomfist’s Power Block shield, Vengeance Mercy's Soul Burn detonation, and Agent Colomar Sombra's Anti-Virus Ultimate. Twist reality further, taking the fight into a redesigned Watchpoint Gibraltar, where Talon has taken over. Explore this unique mirror universe for a limited time from April 23 to May 13.
New Ways to Earn and Unlock Rewards
In response to your feedback, we're embarking on a journey to make it easier to earn rewards and give you more control over your Overwatch 2 experience. To that end, Coins are coming out of Weekly Challenges and going into the Battle Pass, making them easier to earn as you play. But that's not all – we’re pumping up the number of Coins you can earn per season, with up to 600 Overwatch Coins now available through the Battle Pass.
Choose Your Mythic Path
In Season 10, we are introducing Mythic Prisms which will allow you to pick the Mythic hero skin of your choice. The best way to collect Mythic Prisms is by upgrading to the Premium Battle Pass. The Mythic Prisms you collect can be used to unlock and upgrade Mythic hero skins and upgrade them with unlockable customizations. Once you conquer the Premium Battle Pass, you will have 80 Prisms, which is enough to fully unlock one complete Mythic skin, making this the best way to get Mythic Prisms every season.
This season, our newest Mythic hero skin is none other than Vengeance Mercy! Taking up the name “Vengeance,” Dr. Angela Ziegler leads Talon in a fight for a better world, where she wields full control over life and death. Mythic Vengeance Mercy will have three new color combinations and masks available, as well as two hair options and Caduceus Staff variations to unlock.
Not a Mercy Main? Not a problem. You can also choose to spend your Mythic Prisms to pick up select previous Mythic hero skins like Mythic Cyberdemon Genji, Amaterasu Kiriko, and Galactic Emperor Sigma, or you can save them for new Mythic cosmetics that may appear in the shop in the future. Stay tuned for a deeper dive into Mythic Prisms, unlocks, progression, and more when Season 10 officially launches tomorrow.
Blur the Lines Between Good and Evil in the Battle Pass
Evil is good and heroes have fallen: earn over 80 tiers of rewards when you pick up the Mirrorwatch-themed Season 10 Premium Battle Pass. Collect new Legendary skins including Agent Colomar Sombra, Junker Symmetra, Strike Commander Ogundimu Doomfist, Talon Brigitte, Captain Lacroix Widowmaker, and more. Step further into the mirror universe with the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle, which is stacked with 2000 Overwatch Coins, 20 tier skips, plus the Fallen Knight Reinhardt and Arch-Commandant Amari Legendary skins.
Clash for the Win
Prepare for the adrenaline-pumping Clash game mode, a limited-time trial to start Season 10. This ultimate tug-of-war challenges teams to capture points along a linear path. With five capture points strategically placed on a mirrored map, teams must deftly maneuver to capture and defend points to clinch victory. Dynamic spawns and streamlined map routes expedite your return to the fight, maximizing time spent in the heat of battle.
The Clash trial will allow you to explore Hanaoka, a brand-new map spanning an area within the beloved Hanamura district, offering fresh battlegrounds to conquer with a familiar feel. Don't miss out on the Clash trial, now available in the Arcade, from April 16 to April 29.
Wreck and Roll with Hero Updates
Wrecking Ball is rolling onto the scene with a few new upgrades to his kit. Wrecking Ball can now protect his teammates as you dive into the enemy lines and use Adaptive Shield, providing the option to transfer some of the additional shield health to nearby allies. Grappling Claw gets a new upgrade for greater control as you swing: now you can press primary fire while the claw is attached to the map terrain and retract Wrecking Ball for additional mobility. Lastly, Grappling Claw’s cooldown has been adjusted to be partially refunded if you don’t reach fireball speeds.
We also have a variety of other balance changes coming this season. Sombra and Tracer have been powerful picks since we introduced our core gameplay updates last season, so we’re toning down their kits. Sombra’s virus will have less damage dealt over time to help compensate for the initial burst damage, and Tracer’s Pulse bomb will now be more difficult to land on targets to level the field a bit when playing against her. Going into this season, many of our Tanks will receive small buffs to give heroes like Reinhardt more impact with abilities like Earthshatter. Finally, we’re shifting the power between damage and healing for some of our support heroes, including Moira and Illari, along with providing some buffs for Lifeweaver to better tune his kit. Check out these changes in detail in our Patch Notes preview on the forums.
Updates to Competitive and More
We’ve got some major updates for Competitive Play - first up, you can now unlock any Golden Weapon with 2024 Competitive Points. Note you can’t spend the balance of your Legacy Competitive Points with your 2024 Points when redeeming for any Golden Weapon Variant though.
We're making it easier for friends to play together in Competitive by removing grouping restrictions. Groups that have widely varied skill levels will be placed in a “Wide Group.” These Wide Groups will only ever play against other Wide Groups, meaning your matches may be a little sillier, take longer to queue, and you will receive less gains and losses to your rank after games. Solo players will never encounter wide groups, as you can only make a Wide Group of up to three people.
Defense Matrix is getting an update, with new leaver penalty updates for both Unranked and Competitive modes. Finally, Streamer Protect now includes server-side features to hide your name from teammates and opponents in your games, instead of just covering your name in your own game client. Learn more about grouping restrictions, disruptive play mitigation, and other future updates in our recent Developer Update and our Defense Matrix blog.
Fair and fun competitive play is a priority for our team, and we will continue to upgrade our Defense Matrix to mitigate disruptive play.
