Get ready to unleash your inner superhero with Legendary Ultrawatch skins, as you call upon their power to fight evil. The fallen Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe, alongside her no-good miscreant sidekick B.O.B., has risen to power, and it's up to Ultrawatch to stop her. But will the power of teamwork be enough to stand against the Empress’s wicked reign or will she conquer and rule the world?

Create Calamity with New Mythic Rewards
Being evil will never be more fun when you progress through the Season 11 Premium Battle Pass. This season, the wickedly magical Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe has emerged, wielding her dark magic as she looks to defeat Ultrawatch and any others who try to stand in her way. Experience enhanced visual effects, with her Ultimate featuring a fiendish summoning circle and massive magical rune. You can unlock Calamity Empress Ashe when you collect 50 Mythic Prisms, then continue collecting Prisms to customize the diabolical fallen Empress with three additional configurations.


Coming in our mid-season update, we’ll be introducing a new type of Mythic cosmetic, the Mythic Weapon Skins. Like our Heroic Weapon Skins, you’ll be able to equip a Mythic Weapon Skin with any Hero Skin (for the matching hero) and will come with exclusive sound and visual effects. Another way to spend your Mythic prisms, you can unlock the base skin at 50 Mythic Prisms, and then unlock additional levels at 10 Mythic Prisms including a Weapon Flourish emote, elimination visual effects, and reactive effects.

Stay tuned to unlock incredible powers with the Mythic Bound Demon Reinhardt Weapon Skin, coming July 23. This dynamic weapon will unleash the fury of a demon with every swing. Flourish your hammer by spinning it in the air. Defeat your foes and watch as the demon’s power grows in every match you play. You’ll be calling out “Big Slam!” as opponents fall to a fiery surge through every Earthshatter.


Whether you choose the Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe Hero Skin, the Mythic Bound Demon Reinhardt Weapon Skin, or choose to unlock a past Mythic Hero Skin, you’ll be able to pick up some wicked good looks with your Mythic Prisms this season.

Super Mega Rewards in the Premium Battle Pass
Join Ultrawatch and save the world from darkness when you upgrade and progress through the Season 11 Premium Battle Pass. Unlock new Ultrawatch Legendary skins for Genji, Reaper, and Sojourn plus fun Lifeguards as you progress through 80 tiers of non-stop excitement this Season.

Pink Mercy Skin Returns in Support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Overwatch would not be where it is without you. You’ve pushed the payload, fought to capture the point, and cheered your teams to victory. Whether you are a tank main, damage one-trick, or support superstar, you’re all heroes. Since Overwatch launched in 2016, we’ve had over 100 million players answer the call, and we’re celebrating this milestone with something very special.

One of our favorite memories from this history of Overwatch is when we all came together for a great cause and helped make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. In May 2018, we introduced the Pink Mercy skin, which helped raise $12.7 million USD for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the number-one cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. It is BCRF’s mission to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research. Thanks to all of you, the original two-week campaign became the biggest single donation to BCRF - and still holds that record to this day! It fueled BCRF’s Precision Prevention Initiative (PPI) and key breakthroughs in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and metastasis (a.k.a. stage 4 breast cancer). Specifically, the 2018 donation helped fund researchers who advanced promising AI tools in mammogram imaging, devised models to better predict how aggressive breast cancers will respond to treatment, identify drugs that could potentially delay tumor formation, and more.

Now, to answer the call of so many of you who have been asking for Pink Mercy in the years since, and to once again support an incredible cause, we’re excited to announce beginning on June 25, you can purchase the original Pink Mercy skin for the original price of $14.99 USD, with 100% of the purchase price (excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes) to be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.*


And that’s not all! We’re also giving everyone the chance to help support this cause with a brand-new charity cosmetic bundle, the Rose Gold Mercy bundle, also available for purchase for a limited time starting on June 25. This bundle will be exclusively available for a limited time for $19.99 USD, and just like Pink Mercy, 100% of the purchase price (excluding any applicable platform fees and taxes) will be donated to BCRF*, funding critical breast cancer research.

The bundle includes the all-new Rose Gold hero skin, plus the Mercy Heroic Weapon Skin—so you can show your support on whatever Mercy skin you choose! Plus, you’ll get three sprays, name cards, and player icons designed by community artists Angela Ziegler (@A2Ziegler) and Dani Ellis (@OWGrandma)


Whether you get a hold of the original Pink Mercy skin or the Rose Gold Mercy Bundle, you’ll be helping to fuel the research that gives people who have breast cancer longer, healthier lives. Answer the call of this wonderful cause from Tuesday, June 25 through Monday, July 8. Thank you for being a part of this incredible community—together, we are excited to once again make a difference!
