  • Release date: November 21, 2023

To add some tranquility to your bathtime routine, there’s Bathmaster Zenyatta. This Epic-tier skin reimagines the serene omnic monk as a bath-time enthusiast, complete with a shower cap, bubble-patterned pants, and a rubber deck perched on top of his head. 

What seals the deal is how Zenyatta’s signature Orbs of Destruction are transformed into squeaky rubber duckies, adding a playful twist to his usual devastating attacks, with unique sound effects including squeaks when firing and bubbling noises when reloading. 

14. High Roller Wrecking Ball

The High Roller Wrecking Ball skin transforms Hammond into a dapper gentleman, with his mobile mech adorned with gold and stylish sunglasses to complete his outfit. Simple but effective. 

The highlight of this skin (pun intended) is when it’s paired with the Dramatic highlight intro. This intro is a throwback to the old-school memes on the internet, with the ‘Dramatic Chipmunk’ clip all the way back from 2007. 

Anyway, in Overwatch’s version, if you have the High Roller skin equipped, Wrecking Ball’s sunglasses comically slip off his little nose at the climax of the animation, adding an extra dramatic flair. 

13. Brick Bastion

  • Release date: September 17, 2019

Build up your collection with Brick Bastion. Released during the LEGO x Overwatch collaboration in 2019, this Epic skin transforms the wholesome omnic into a walking LEGO-style model made entirely of toy bricks with vibrant red, yellow, and blue colors. Even his bird companion, Ganymede, gets a brick makeover to match the skin’s theme. 

Brick Bastion is also one of the rarest skins in Overwatch 2, since it has never reappeared in Overwatch 2’s shop. The only way of unlocking the Brick Bastion skin was through the Bastion Brick Challenge, which required players to win nine games in any playlist – Arcade, Competitive, or Quick Play. 

12. Surf ‘n’ Splash Torbjörn

Forget dad bod, there’s the Torb bod. The Overwatch community had long wished for a Torbjörn Summer skin to deck the iconic Swede in speedos for summer. Blizzard eventually delivered with the Surf ‘n’ Splash Torbjörn, released alongside the 2019 Summer Games event.

Ready for some fun in the sun, Torbjörn sports swim trunks, flip-flops, with his iconic turret transformed into a sandcastle bucket. Completing his beach-ready look, his trusty hammer is now an inflatable mallet that makes a hilarious squeaking sound effect on melee hits. It’s a lighthearted, fan-favorite skin that truly captures the chaos of Overwatch. 

11. Côte d’Azur Widowmaker

Sun, sea, and snipers? The Côte d’Azur Widowmaker skin whisks the cold-blooded assassin sniper away on a much-needed vacation. As someone who never feels the cold, this stylish skin pairs a low-hanging floral sarong with teal wedges and a dark blue bikini, with these cool tones perfectly complementing her signature purple skin. 

With hoop earrings and a white scarf completing the look, it’s a relaxed and glamorous version of Widowmaker that’s easily a favorite among fans and Widow mains. 

This Overwatch 2 Legendary skin offers a refreshing break from her usual deadly attire, making it a fun addition to any cosmetic wardrobe.

10. LESSERAFIM Collaboration

The LESSERAFIM x Overwatch skins quickly became fan faves, as the hero shooters’ first-ever collaboration with a K-pop group. Inspired by the group’s ‘Perfect Night’ song and tour, the band’s members are each represented by a corresponding character – Sombra, Tracer, Brigitte, D.Va, and Kiriko – blending modern streetwear with popular Overwatch heroes in trainers, cropped jackets, and dyed hair. 

As an encore, the Overwatch x LESSERAFIM collaboration was relaunched in the Shop in 2025 to celebrate ‘Perfect Night’ reaching 100M views. The second time around included even more heroes dressed up in the LESSERAFIM style, like Juno, Mercy, Illari, and Ashe, as well as remixed recolors of the original five skins. 

9. Witch Kiriko

Witch Kiriko proved that even simple Overwatch 2 Legendary skins can still bring top-tier vibes. Released during the 2022 Halloween Terror event, this skin reimagines Kiriko as a sorceress/fortune teller, complete with the stereotypical pointed witch hat.

It was one of the first event-specific skins of Overwatch 2, solidifying its memorable place on this list. As Witch Kiriko, her standard healing ofudas are transformed into spell-infused slips that ward and protect her allies. When she lands an elimination, she delivers unique skin-specific voice lines like “I predicted that” and the fan-favorite “The Universe said bye-bye,” all playing into her tarot card reader aesthetic.

8. Cupid Hanzo

Shot in the heart, and Hanzo’s to blame. The legendary Cupid Hanzo skin debuted during the Valentines-themed event in Overwatch 2 on February 14, 2023. To reflect the season of love, the typically stoic archer got a romantic twist – complete with flowing pink robes, shimmering wings, and sandals. Hanzo’s bow, arrows, and quiver are reimagined with pink hearts for the love-struck theme. There are also unique harp SFX when Hanzo fires an arrow or uses an ability like Storm Arrow. 

What really sealed this skin’s place in Overwatch history was its appearance in the limited-time dating sim, Loverwatch, where players could romance either Genji or Mercy, with Cupid Hanzo assisting. 

7. EDM D.Va

D.Va in her EDM skin from Overwatch 2, featuring vibrant purple hair, a heart-shaped face tattoo, colorful DJ-themed outfit, and a futuristic mech with neon accents and speaker-like elements in the background.

With the launch of Overwatch 2, D.Va got decked out in an entirely new look with EDM D.Va, unlocked through the Season 1 Battle Pass. In this Legendary skin, she sports pink pigtails, animal-ear headphones, and a colorful, casual outfit. True to her popstar roots, her mech resembles a disco dancefloor, complete with an audio sampler (which also appears on her gun, too) for when you want to boogie down on the enemy.

But the standout feature of this skin has to be the dance music that plays whenever you use the Rocket Boosters or when you full-send D.Va’s ultimate Self Destruct sky-high. Ultimate style points.

6. Medusa Widowmaker

Widowmaker in her Medusa skin from Overwatch, featuring green snake-like hair, glowing yellow eyes, ornate armor with serpent motifs, and a stone-themed sniper rifle, set against a neutral blue background.

Bringing a whole new meaning to her ultimate voice line, “one shot, one kill,” the Medusa Widowmaker transforms her into a literal goddess of death. Released alongside the Battle for Olympus limited-time mode in 2023, this Overwatch 2 Legendary skin reimagines Widowmaker as the infamous gorgon, and she wears it petrifyingly well. 

In place of her usual assassin attire, Widowmaker now has writhing snakes for hair, a snow-carved sniper rifle, and deadly venom mines. Her stare has never been deadlier, especially when paired with the Death Stare Highlight Intro, paying homage to Medusa’s ability to turn her victims to stone. 

To top it off, she comes with skin-specific voice lines like “No one can survive my sight,” easily one of the most thematically complete skins in Overwatch 2. 

5. Pink Mercy

Pink Mercy is easily one of Overwatch 2’s most popular skins, especially with Mercy mains. When this is equipped, you’ll see everyone’s favorite angelic medic decked out in pink and pigtails with custom sound effects for the ultimate magical aesthetic. Originally made available in 2018 for the Breast Cancer Foundation campaign, around 800K players purchased the skin, raising over $22 million in donations for the charity.

After years of players petitioning Blizzard, the legendary Pink Mercy skin returned in 2024. Alongside it came the Rose Gold Mercy skin and other cosmetics like player icons, but the OG still has a special place in our hearts. 

4. All Might Reinhardt

Collaboration skins are always firm favorites, and Overwatch’s crossover with My Hero Academia is no different. In this collaboration, players got to go Plus Ultra and choose between becoming their story’s hero or villain. Five Overwatch characters received anime makeovers: Deku Tracer, Himiko Toga Kiriko, Shigaraki Reaper, and Uravity Juno.

But All Might Reinhardt stood tall above the rest, clad in All Might’s iconic colors of yellow, blue, red, and white. With custom voice lines like Detroit Smash when casting his ultimate Earthshatter and other fun SFX, it’s easy to see why this is one of Overwatch’s best collaboration skins to date. 

3. Cyber Demon Genji

Although not the best Mythic skin by today’s standards, Cyber Demon Genji was the first of its kind – the debut Mythic-tier skin launched in Overwatch 2 Season 1. It set the blueprint for what all Mythic skins should be, featuring layered customization options, unique SFX, and flashy animations. It made perfect sense to make the first Mythic for everyone’s favorite cybernetic ninja. 

As a skin, Cyber Demon Genji raised the bar for cosmetic quality and gave players a taste of what the future of Overwatch 2 skins could look like. While later Mythics have arguably surpassed it in complexity or theme, Cyber Demon Genji still gets respect for starting it all.

2. Amaterasu Kiriko 

Kiriko in her Amaterasu skin from Overwatch 2, wearing an ornate gold and black outfit with glowing eyes, a radiant sun-like headdress, and mystical paper charms floating around her in a stylized celestial background.

Inspired by the Japanese sun goddess, Amaterasu Kiriko was released as the Season 3 Mythic skin, turning her into a radiant, divine force. This skin features flowing robes with sun motifs, paired with a radiant headpiece that evolves with three different customizable tiers. 

The color palette is also fully customizable, leaving players to choose between deep indigos, fiery reds, and golden hues to fit their mood. With unique visual effects on her healing talismans, custom SFX for her Swift Step and Suzu, skin-specific quotes, and revamped Kitsune Rush ultimate, it’s easily one of the most complete Mythics to date — divine and deadly.

1. Heart of Hope Juno

Very cute, very demure – part of the in-game Overwatch 2 universe, DokiWatch, is Season 16’s Mythic skin, Heart of Hope Juno. Empowered by her shark familiar, the Heart of Hope Juno and the Dokiwatch squad battle against the Hollow Hearts to restore peace to the galaxy. 

The Heart of Hope Juno Mythic has four evolving tiers reflecting her inner conflict between Light and Woe, unlocked with Mythic Prisms from the Battle Pass or Mythic Shop. These are: 

  • Level 1 (Base) 
  • Level 2 (Doki Princess)
  • Level 3 (Corrupted Evil)
  • Level 4 (Radiant Protector)  

This skin is very girly-pop, with heart-shaped projectiles for her Pulsar Torpedoes and other fun elements with incredible attention-to-detail, with many players praising it as the “best Mythic in a long while.”
