Overwatch 2 season 17’s battle pass and new Mythic skins

Season 17 of Overwatch 2 will include a fresh batch of skins and other cosmetics to acquire through the game’s premium battle pass, including new 8-bit-themed versions of Genji, Sombra, and Reinhardt; and new Overwatch Academy skins for Junkrat and Cassidy.

For the first time, the newest season of Overwatch 2 will launch with two Mythic skins: one character skin for D.Va, and a weapon skin for Reaper that is… well, extremely extreme.

Here’s a closer look at the new cosmetics coming to Overwatch 2 in season 17.

Season 17 Premium and Ultimate Battle Pass skins

8-bit-inspired skins for Genji, Sombra, and Reinhardt will be available alongside Sakura Ana (not pictured), Delinquent Cole Cassidy, and Professor Fawkes Junkrat. The game’s ultimate battle pass also includes Principal Lacroix Widowmaker — a big upsell for Widowmaker fans — and Professor de Kuiper Sigma.

Season 17 shop skins

Overwatch 2’s in-game shop will feature 8-bit versions of Venture and Reaper; Overwatch Academy versions of Juno, Kiriko, and Soldier: 76; and Sakura versions of Lifeweaver and Mercy. When these paid skins roll in and out haven’t been announced — you’ll need to keep an eye on the shop for dates and prices.

Mythic D.Va and Mythic Reaper Steel Death Weapon Skin

D.Va is the recipient of this season’s Mythic hero skin. Her customizable Horang skin channels the spirit of the Siberian tiger, across four tiers, blending mythical VFX, thematic voice lines, and folklore-rooted customization options that honor the timeless tale of Sister Sun and Brother Moon, Blizzard says.

Here’s how each tier unlocks:

  • Level 1: Tiger armor and a hat with sleek, fierce white styling.  
  • Level 2: Bun hairstyle with upgraded visuals in a cinnabar red colorway.  
  • Level 3: Flex braids and a wild tiger mask in a pink tinted colorway.  
  • Level 4: Hit full tiger mode with ambient spirit energy, glowing effects, and flourishes that radiate power. 

Reaper’s big guns have big blades in his new Mythic Steel Death Weapon Skin. Here are the four levels of unlock:

  • Level 1 Base: Brutal, sharp, soulfire-infused shotguns built for lethal precision.  
  • Level 2 Reactivity: Weapons flare with dark energy as you deal damage.  
  • Level 3 Flourish: Intricate glowing details surround your shotguns.  
  • Level 4 Kill FX: Finish foes with haunting swirled shadows and sound effects that embody Reaper’s fury.
