Overwatch 2’s Mythic skins aren’t living up to their name

Overwatch 2 developer Blizzard Entertainment teased the shooter’s next Mythic skin — Grand Beast, for tank hero Orisa — on Tuesday. That new skin, available as the ultimate battle pass reward for Overwatch 2’s next season, was received with a thunderous “That’s… it?” from fans upon its reveal. It’s the third Mythic skin in a row that’s notably underwhelmed the Overwatch community, in part because the skin looks so similar to an already available cosmetic for Orisa.

Players are also lamenting the cosmetic options available in Orisa’s Grand Beast skin, which follows criticisms of customization options in the Mythic skin for Hanzo added in season 7 and Ana’s equivalent skin in season 6.

Mythic skins debuted with the launch of Overwatch 2 last year. The precedent for uniqueness and customization options was set by its inaugural Mythic skin, Cyber Demon Genji. That skin included two weapon options, three tattoos, three masks, and three color palettes for Genji that could be mixed and matched. Mythic skins for characters Junker Queen, Kiriko, Sigma, and Tracer followed, with similar levels of customization.

But the most recent Mythic, Ornyo Hanzo, featured just two weapon options and three color palettes, leading some Overwatch fans to call it the worst Mythic skin Blizzard has delivered yet — and possibly a worrying bellwether for Mythic skins.

Response to Orisa’s Mythic has been similarly dour. On X, formerly known as Twitter, Overwatch fans have expressed their displeasure, saying things like “That’s literally this,” alongside a picture of Orisa’s Dynastinae Legendary skin from 2017.
