Overwatch 2 Season 3 will be released soon, and Blizzard has revealed the Mythic skin that players can unlock through the premium track of the Battlepass.
This new skin, called Amaterasu Kiriko, is named after the Japanese sun goddess and indicates that the rumors of a Japanese mythology theme for Season 3 were indeed accurate. It is a fusion of samurai and jūnihitoe, a traditional style of Japanese royal dress, and depicts the support hero in an impressive and regal manner.
Amaterasu Kiriko is a great example of the artistic direction of the new season and the attention to detail that Blizzard has put into the design of this skin. Players will need to reach level 80 on the premium track of the Season 3 Battlepass to unlock it, but there may be other fun cosmetics available.
Some of these have been requested by fans for several years, hence players can expect exciting new additions to the game.
The new season starts on February 7, and there is a lot of content on the way, including a new map, balance changes, the return of the Workshop, and easier ways to unlock Overwatch 1 skins for free.
There are rumors that this theme may extend beyond the Battlepass, including possible skins for other heroes and new maps based on iconic Japanese locations.
With the confirmation of the Japanese mythology theme for Season 3, Overwatch fans will surely be in for a treat. From the stunning Amaterasu Kiriko skin to the potential for other exciting additions, this season promises to be one of the best.
Fans of the game are eagerly awaiting the new season, which promises to bring fresh and exciting content to the game.
