Overwatch 2 Season 10 Will Unlock All Heroes and Change How Mythic Skins are Earned
When Overwatch 2 Season 10 releases next month, players won't have to wait to play its newest hero, Venture. Rather than make its 40th hero available through the Battle Pass, Blizzard is planning to make Venture immediately available along with every other hero to date.
