Overwatch 2 Reveals New Mythic Weapon Skins and Calamity Empress Ashe Coming in S11

The upcoming eleventh season of Overwatch 2 will introduce Mythic weapon skins as a new type of cosmetic, along with the latest Mythic skin: Calamity Empress Ashe.

Overwatch 2 Season 11 is almost here and the developers have revealed that Ashe will be receiving a Power Rangers-style Rita Repulsa skin in the form of Calamity Empress Ashe.

The latest Mythic skin is part of the Ultrawatch theme which pays homage to Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. Calamity Ashe will require 50 Mythic Prisms to unlock and will feature three additional setups that will require additional Prisms.

But that's not all. For the first time, Mythic weapon skins are coming in a mid-season update and they will come with their own special visual effects and sounds.

The first Mythic weapon skin will be Reinhardt's Bound Demon weapon skin and is expected to arrive on July 23. It has interesting effects that also set it apart from other cosmetic products.

For example, Blizzard states in a blog post that there will be “incredible powers” involving this weapon skin, including increasing its power with each match you play. Additionally, it will give Reinhardt's ultimate Earthshatter an added twist by engulfing enemies in a “wave of fire.”

Of course, don't expect the skin to do extra damage by equipping it in traditional game modes, but Blizzard could release a future arcade mode using the skin's special properties.

“You can unlock the base skin at 50 Mythic Prisms, then unlock additional tiers at 10 Mythic Prisms, including a Weapon Flourish emote, kill visual effects, and reactive effects,” Blizzard explained.

Overwatch 2 Season 11 is set to go live on June 20 and will also feature the long-awaited return of the Pink Mercy charity skin, a new Runasapi push map, and overhauls to some of the game's most frustrating maps.
