The most rewarding Overwatch experience yet

Overwatch 2 rolls out a new tier of skins called Mythic. These super customisable skins allow you to mix and match various elements of your hero's looks.

Season 13: Spellbinder

Bewitch the battlefield

Haunt your foes in Season 13 with the power of Mythic Spellbinder Widowmaker, a master of witchcraft with stylish animations and enchanting effects to die for. Then battle it out in the spooky new Halloween Terror game mode, Junkenstein's Laboratory, a PvP mode with mutations that turn heroes to horrors.

Plus, heroes, villains, and their ideas of justice will collide in a My Hero Academia collab featuring exclusive cosmetics inspired by the anime’s iconic characters. Unlock five Legendary costume skins, up to 80 Mythic Prisms, and other spooky rewards in the Premium Battle Pass. And get ready to restyle your maxed out Mythics in prestigious gold and black colour variants with the new Gilded Aspects from the Mythic Shop.

Play for free to earn 600 coins, 1500 credits, plus the Arcane Apprentice Mei and Haunted Doll Roadhog skins. Get ready for a season filled with magic, might and macabre moments.

Know your role

Overwatch 2 hero team roles

Each hero is built around a specific team role - knowing where you need to be and what you need to do will be crucial to your team's success. Victory demands teamwork.

Damage

Damage heroes seek out, engage, and obliterate the enemy with wide-ranging tools, abilities and play styles. Fearsome but fragile, these heroes require backup to survive.

Tank

Tank heroes soak damage and shatter fortified positions, like closely grouped enemies and narrow chokepoints. If you’re a tank, you lead the charge.

Support

Support heroes empower their allies by healing, shielding, boosting damage, and disabling foes. As a support, you’re the backbone of your team’s survival.
