Summary
The recently-released Season 9 ofOverwatch 2has been both an exciting and controversial time for the game, but the new mythic skin it introduces brings with it a cool feature that adds to the level of quality fans feel has been missing from the game’s recent mythic skins. As usual,Overwatch 2fans won’t be able to snag this new skin without first purchasing the latest season’s premium battle pass, which itself offers a whole batch of freaky new skins.
Many of thenew cosmetics introduced with Season 9 ofOverwatch 2feature an eldritch aesthetic, with the most notable example being the new Ancient Caller mythic skin for Moira. First introduced with the very first season ofOverwatch 2, these mythic-tier cosmetic items allow players limited customization of their favorite heroes' appearances, with each mythic skin introduced across the game’s 9 seasons so far featuring multiple configurations and colors to try out. Some of these skins have also come with a few extra features such as unique voice lines and filters, but with many of the more recent mythic options seen as underwhelming by fans, this exclusive tier of skins has ultimately met mixed reception so far.
Moira’s new mythic skin has already caught the attention of fans, though, and seems to stand out with a pretty awesome detail that players want to see more of from mythic skins. On top of the usual customization options, players equipped with this new skin will notice that it overhaulsMoira’s highlight intro animations inOverwatch 2. Though players can see this for themselves in the game, a short video put together and shared online by the user Calm-Key2837 shows how these overhauled animations compare to the originals, which helped bring this detail to the attention of many in the community.
All in all, the mostrecent mythic skin inOverwatch 2seems to have gone down well with players so far. Alongside the gloomy default color scheme and the extensive customization options it brings, the extra details such as the eye-like biotic orbs and tweaked highlight intros do a lot to make it feel unique and fleshed-out.
What Overwatch 2 Season 9 Brings to The Table, Aside From Eldritch Horrors
While Season 9 ofOverwatch 2follows more or less the same pattern as previous seasons with how it introduces a new battle pass, a new mythic skin, and a variety of additional cosmetics, the overarchingchanges that the latest season makes toOverwatch 2are nothing short of enormous. An overhaul to character health pools and projectile sizes across the board, a complete restructure of DPS heroes' passive ability, and the addition of passive healing to all characters has massively changed the way the game is played, though Blizzard has confirmed that it is working on patches that will help fine-tune these monumental changes.
