  • Release date: November 21, 2023

To add some tranquillity to your bathtime routine, there’s Bathmaster Zenyatta. This Epic-tier skin reimagines the serene omnic monk as a bath-time enthusiast, complete with a shower cap, bubble-patterned pants, and a rubber deck perched on top of his head.

What seals the deal is how Zenyatta’s signature Orbs of Destruction are transformed into squeaky rubber duckies, adding a playful twist to his usual devastating attacks, with unique sound effects including squeaks when firing and bubbling noises when reloading.

14. Royal Princess Mercy

  • Release date: June 3, 2025.

Part of the Royal line of Legendary skins released in June 2025, Royal Princess Mercy is a highlight from the collection. Mercy dons a regal fairy tale princess outfit with this skin, including a glittering gown, a royal staff and a tiara. She also wears shimmering white tights and gloves and has plenty of elegant jewellery accessories. Her hair is half up and half down, and she has styled braids woven into it along with a flower hair clip in the back. Her wings also get vibrant pink accents.

The effort that has gone into making Mercy as princess-like as possible with this skin is apparent, and the level of detail is one of the elements that has made it such a popular skin within the Overwatch community.  

The royal aesthetic is incredibly pretty and suits Mercy perfectly. While it does not include any other significant effects, it is by far one of her best looks.

13. Brick Bastion

  • Release date: September 17, 2019

Build up your collection with Brick Bastion. Released during the LEGO x Overwatch collaboration in 2019, this Epic skin transforms the wholesome omnic into a walking LEGO-style model made entirely of toy bricks with vibrant red, yellow, and blue colours. Even his bird companion, Ganymede, gets a brick makeover to match the skin’s theme.

Brick Bastion is also one of the rarest skins in Overwatch 2, since it has never reappeared in Overwatch 2’s shop. The only way of unlocking the Brick Bastion skin was through the Bastion Brick Challenge, which required players to win nine games in any playlist – Arcade, Competitive, or Quick Play.

12. Surf ‘n’ Splash Torbjörn

Forget dad bod, there’s the Torb bod. The Overwatch community had long wished for a Torbjörn Summer skin to deck the iconic Swede in speedos for summer. Blizzard eventually delivered with the Surf ‘n’ Splash Torbjörn, released alongside the 2019 Summer Games event.

Ready for some fun in the sun, Torbjörn sports swim trunks, flip-flops, with his iconic turret transformed into a sandcastle bucket. Completing his beach-ready look, his trusty hammer is now an inflatable mallet that makes a hilarious squeaking sound effect on melee hits. It’s a lighthearted, fan-favourite skin that truly captures the chaos of Overwatch.

11. LESSERAFIM Collaboration

The LESSERAFIM x Overwatch skins quickly became fan faves, as the hero shooters’ first-ever collaboration with a K-pop group. Inspired by the group’s ‘Perfect Night’ song and tour, the band’s members are each represented by a corresponding character – Sombra, Tracer, Brigitte, D.Va, and Kiriko – blending modern streetwear with popular Overwatch heroes in trainers, cropped jackets, and dyed hair.

As an encore, the Overwatch x LESSERAFIM collaboration was relaunched in the Shop in 2025 to celebrate ‘Perfect Night’ reaching 100M views. The second time around included even more heroes dressed up in the LESSERAFIM style, like Juno, Mercy, Illari, and Ashe, as well as remixed recolours of the original five skins.

10. Witch Kiriko

Witch Kiriko proved that even simple Overwatch 2 Legendary skins can still bring top-tier vibes. Released during the 2022 Halloween Terror event, this skin reimagines Kiriko as a sorceress/fortune teller, complete with the stereotypical pointed witch hat.

It was one of the first event-specific skins of Overwatch 2, solidifying its memorable place on this list. As Witch Kiriko, her standard healing ofudas are transformed into spell-infused slips that ward and protect her allies. When she lands an elimination, she delivers unique skin-specific voice lines like “I predicted that” and the fan-favourite “The Universe said bye-bye,” all playing into her tarot card reader aesthetic.

9. Cupid Hanzo

Shot in the heart, and Hanzo’s to blame. The legendary Cupid Hanzo skin debuted during the Valentines-themed event in Overwatch 2 on February 14, 2023. To reflect the season of love, the typically stoic archer got a romantic twist – complete with flowing pink robes, shimmering wings, and sandals. Hanzo’s bow, arrows, and quiver are reimagined with pink hearts for the love-struck theme. There are also unique harp SFX when Hanzo fires an arrow or uses an ability like Storm Arrow.

What really sealed this skin’s place in Overwatch history was its appearance in the limited-time dating sim, Loverwatch, where players could romance either Genji or Mercy, with Cupid Hanzo assisting.

8. EDM D.Va

D.Va in her EDM skin from Overwatch 2, featuring vibrant purple hair, a heart-shaped face tattoo, colorful DJ-themed outfit, and a futuristic mech with neon accents and speaker-like elements in the background.

With the launch of Overwatch 2, D.Va got decked out in an entirely new look with EDM D.Va, unlocked through the Season 1 Battle Pass. In this Legendary skin, she sports pink pigtails, animal-ear headphones, and a colourful, casual outfit. True to her popstar roots, her mech resembles a disco dancefloor, complete with an audio sampler (which also appears on her gun, too) for when you want to boogie down on the enemy.

But the standout feature of this skin has to be the dance music that plays whenever you use the Rocket Boosters or when you full-send D.Va’s ultimate Self Destruct sky-high. Ultimate style points.

7. Ultraviolet Sentinel Sojourn

  • Release Date: August 26, 2025.

When it comes to a sleek and clean skin, it doesn’t get much better than the shiny Ultraviolet Sentinel Sojourn. This Mythic skin gives Sojourn white pearl cybernetic armour (at the base level, without the customisable tiers) with pink, blue and purple highlights, including two sash-like appendages from the back of her armour. The futuristic nature of the skin emphasises Sojourn’s cybernetic enhancements while giving her one of her coolest looks yet.

The skin maintains this sleek nature with its black, red, pink, and gold and orange colour schemes, unlockable with additional tiers. The other tiers also unlock an optional visor and choices of new hairstyles for Sojourn, including a longer hairstyle.

Sojourn’s abilities get a colourful overhaul in terms of effects, particularly her Disruptor Shot, which has an almost mesmerising look thanks to its swirls of colour. Her voice also has a robotic filter, emphasising that futuristic vibe.

6. Persona 5 Collection

  • Release Date: September 16, 2025.

The Overwatch 2 collaboration with Persona 5 featured skins of characters from the game Persona 5 for five heroes from Overwatch 2. The skins released in the collab are as follows:

  • Joker Wuyang
  • Skull Genji
  • Panther Mercy
  • Fox Lifeweaver
  • Queen D.Va 

The skins are all excellently designed and have been generally well received in terms of their look, and which heroes were chosen to receive them. The designs blend in well with each hero’s regular design, making them look accurate to their Persona 5 counterpart without taking away too much of what makes them who they are.

There are also some neat little touches here and there, such as Mercy’s roses on her wings and staff and the face on D.Va’s mech, mimicking the look of Makoto’s motorcycle Persona Johanna. Another unique feature that each of the skins has is a pink splash effect when each character moves, reflecting the same effects that the Perona 5 characters get when they are infiltrating a palace or are in Mementos.

These skins are a must for Persona 5 and Overwatch 2 fans, though you might want to wait for them to reduce in price a bit. As of right now, they are pretty expensive, with the mega bundle costing more than $60.

5. Horang D.Va

  • Release Date: June 24, 2025. 

D.Va finally got her own Mythic skin when Season 17 of Overwatch 2 launched in June 2025. Her skin – Horang D.Va – is themed around the Siberian tiger, as this is the national animal of her home country of South Korea. Horang – or호랑 in Hangul –  is the Korean word for “tiger”.

As with the other Mythic skins in Overwatch 2, this is also a skin that can be customised thoroughly when all tiers are unlocked. D.Va’s colour palette changes drastically with these tiers, as do her hairstyles. She can also wear a tiger face mask when a certain tier is unlocked.

Tigers are thought of as brave guardians and protectors of the people in Korea, and this fits in well with D.Va’s role as a MEKA Guardian. The skin also leans into the mythological elements of tigers in South Korea, as the tiger is a significant figure in Korean mythology. The magical effects and general mythical nature of the skin (it is a Mythic-level rarity after all) play into this, giving D.Va’s mech the aesthetic of a mythical tiger protector. 
Horang D.Va has some great effects too, such as glowing particles that emanate from her mech, along with tiger roar sounds when she takes damage. Another effect comes from D.Va’s self-destruct ability. When her mech explodes, a tiger face appears in the aftermath. The face is designed in the same art style as the portrayal of tigers in historical Joseon artwork, making for a fun historical reference and a cool change to the regular explosion animation.

4. Pink Mercy

Pink Mercy is easily one of Overwatch 2’s most popular skins, especially with Mercy mains. When this is equipped, you’ll see everyone’s favourite angelic medic decked out in pink and pigtails with custom sound effects for the ultimate magical aesthetic. Originally made available in 2018 for the Breast Cancer Foundation campaign, around 800K players purchased the skin, raising over $22 million in donations for the charity.

After years of players petitioning Blizzard, the legendary Pink Mercy skin returned in 2024. Alongside it came the Rose Gold Mercy skin and other cosmetics like player icons, but the OG still has a special place in our hearts.

3. Cyber Demon Genji

Although not the best Mythic skin by today’s standards, Cyber Demon Genji was the first of its kind – the debut Mythic-tier skin launched in Overwatch 2 Season 1. It set the blueprint for what all Mythic skins should be, featuring layered customisation options, unique SFX, and flashy animations. It made perfect sense to make the first Mythic for everyone’s favourite cybernetic ninja.

As a skin, Cyber Demon Genji raised the bar for cosmetic quality and gave players a taste of what the future of Overwatch 2 skins could look like. While later Mythics have arguably surpassed it in complexity or theme, Cyber Demon Genji still gets respect for starting it all.

2. Amaterasu Kiriko

Inspired by the Japanese sun goddess, Amaterasu Kiriko was released as the Season 3 Mythic skin, turning her into a radiant, divine force. This skin features flowing robes with sun motifs, paired with a radiant headpiece that evolves with three different customizable tiers.

The colour palette is also fully customisable, leaving players to choose between deep indigos, fiery reds, and golden hues to fit their mood. With unique visual effects on her healing talismans, custom SFX for her Swift Step and Suzu, skin-specific quotes, and revamped Kitsune Rush ultimate, it’s easily one of the most complete Mythics to date — divine and deadly.

1. Heart of Hope Juno

Very cute, very demure – part of the in-game Overwatch 2 universe, DokiWatch, is Season 16’s Mythic skin, Heart of Hope Juno. Empowered by her shark familiar, the Heart of Hope Juno and the Dokiwatch squad battle against the Hollow Hearts to restore peace to the galaxy.

The Heart of Hope Juno Mythic has four evolving tiers reflecting her inner conflict between Light and Woe, unlocked with Mythic Prisms from the Battle Pass or Mythic Shop. These are:

  • Level 1 (Base)
  • Level 2 (Doki Princess)
  • Level 3 (Corrupted Evil)
  • Level 4 (Radiant Protector)

This skin is very girly-pop, with heart-shaped projectiles for her Pulsar Torpedoes and other fun elements with incredible attention to detail, with many players praising it as the “best Mythic in a long while.”
