Overwatch 2 Introduces Season 11's New Mythic Rewards and Weapon Skins

There is a dichotomy at the heart of Monitoring 2. On the one hand, it's the most hated game Blizzard has ever produced, and that includes Warcraft 3: Reforged. The sequel to the original hero shooter great is riding on a terrible player score, with just 18% of all reviews positive. On the other hand, 30,000 people log in every day to play it – and that's on Steam alone, there are plenty of other places to play it. This means that this popular/unpopular game is doing pretty well despite the bad reviews, and the veil has just been lifted on what players can expect next season.

Titled Super Mega Ultrawatch (ugh), Overwatch 2 Season 11 plans to add plenty of new features to the multiplayer game, as well as a few improvements to make the game a little easier for those of us with less time . The last season focused on new hero Venture, but there's no real overarching theme this time around, other than a general desire to do good and get involved in superhero stuff.

If you discovered Overwatch 2 before becoming familiar with its battle passes, you pay to access it and then earn rewards as you play throughout the season. This time around, the Battle Pass comes with a new Mythic skin for Ashe, giving players a new look as an evil empress on the battlefield. A new type of skin will also be revealed midway through the season: Mythic Weapon Skins. These will give a weapon a new appearance and sound effects and can be equipped on any relevant hero skin.

To celebrate 100 million people playing Overwatch 2, a pink Mercy skin is being released with all proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. There will be some hero twists with the return of Community Crafted mode, with notable content creators able to bring their ideas into the game by changing the way it plays.

One of the biggest changes coming in Season 11 is the new Runasapi map. Situated high in the Peruvian Andes, this solar-powered metropolis features markets, a museum and of course a TS-1 to accompany you through its streets. Additionally, those who cannot play every week will no longer miss out on rewards. If you miss a week, you can finish it the following week, which means it's a little easier to get back what you want even if you have to do something else.

Overwatch 2 Season 11 launches Thursday, June 20 and you can get all the details on what to expect on the official website.
