New Overwatch 2 skins leaked
During a presentation titled “Creating Iconic Heroes with the Overwatch Team,” a video was oplayed and revealed some upcoming hero skins. The footage was filmed by Twitter user ‘Proofyy_’ and shared on the platform.
Keeping with the cyberpunk theme, new skins were shown off for Hanzo, Roadhog, Zenyatta, and Widowmaker.
The cyber Hanzo skin in particular has a lot in common with the Mythic Genji skin that players can unlock by leveling up their Battle Pass to level 80, though it doesn’t seem to be as customizable.

There’s no telling how much these skins will cost or when they’ll be added, but the theme suggests they may be coming out sometime this season.
