Overwatch 2 Season 11 Unveils New Mythic Skin, Surprise Hero Changes, and Summer Games Return

Blizzard has just dropped the full roadmap for Overwatch 2 Season 11, bringing a whirlwind of new content including a dazzling Mythic skin, unexpected hero updates, and the return of a beloved limited-time event. With the season slated to begin on June 20, players can expect significant gameplay shifts and plenty of cosmetic unlocks to chase.

Leading the charge this season is the Mythic skin for Ashe, titled “Mythic Calamity Empress.” This new tier of the customizable skin features a dark, high-fantasy aesthetic, complete with glowing embers, ornate armor, and a thematic overhaul for Ashe’s loyal omnic companion, B.O.B. The skin offers three unlockable variants and multiple color options, making it one of the most intricate designs since the introduction of Mythic cosmetics in Overwatch 2.

Perhaps more unexpected were the hero balance changes revealed in the developer update that accompanied the roadmap drop. Several characters are receiving notable adjustments, including a buff to Cassidy’s Magnetic Grenade — increasing its damage radius — and a nerf to Orisa’s Fortify ability, aimed at reducing her dominance in high-level play. The changes come following weeks of community feedback and reflect Blizzard’s focus on improving hero diversity and matchup balance heading into summer.

Also making a comeback is the Summer Games event, which will kick off in mid-July. The highlight? The fan-favorite Lúcioball returns alongside a brand-new spin-off mode: Lúcioball Remix. The yet-to-be-unveiled twist promises to shake up the familiar arcade action with new mechanics and special arena hazards. A new batch of summer-themed skins is also on the way, including legendary beachwear looks for Sigma and Lifeweaver.

With this launch, Blizzard seems committed to reinvigorating Overwatch 2 as it continues its seasonal model. Whether you’re eyeing the new Mythic skin or preparing to hit the beach in Lúcioball Remix, Season 11 looks to offer something for veterans and rookies alike. Expect the full patch notes and surprise additions closer to the launch date as hype builds toward a sizzling summer for Overwatch fans.
