Summary
- Blizzard conducts surveys for future Overwatch 2 skins.
- The latest survey has revealed potential skin concepts that are being considered.
- There is no guarantee that any of these skins will actually make it into the game.
A new Overwatch 2 survey may reveal some of the future skins that are on the way for the game. Blizzard is constantly designing new skins for Overwatch 2, giving existing heroes fresh looks that players can purchase from the shop.
Back when Overwatch had loot boxes, players had a reliable way of constantly unlocking new skins. The switch to Overwatch 2 and a more traditional item shop saw that go away, though players are still treated to new skins through the seasonal battle passes. Whether one misses loot boxes or prefers the new system, it's a fact of life that Overwatch 2 will always have fresh skins to buy.
Overwatch 2 Teases Future Overwatch: Classic Modes
An Overwatch 2 dev talks about ideas for future Overwatch: Classic game modes, including some that would take players to unexpected time periods.
Many Overwatch 2 skins are a complete surprise to the community, but there are times when Blizzard gauges fan interest. Sometimes, Blizzard sends out surveys of Overwatch 2 skin concepts to see what players are interested in, and there are times when said skins become part of the game. The latest batch of Overwatch 2 concept skins show off interesting new looks for a variety of characters, like a pirate Reinhardt skin, a tanooki skin for Juno, a fox skin for Ashe that gives BOB a similar makeover, and more. Fans who are asked to participate in the survey can vote on which skins they would most like to see added to Overwatch 2's shop, though there's no guarantee that any of the skins will actually make it to the full game, so fans should keep that in mind before getting too excited about any of the concepts on display.
Overwatch 2 Survey Skins
There is precedent for Overwatch 2 survey skins to make their way to the final game, however. Last year, a similar Overwatch 2 skin survey featured a Black Cat Mercy skin that was finally added to the game just recently. Considering this, it's entirely possible that some of the skins from this survey will be added to the full game at some point as well.
What some Overwatch 2 players have noticed is that the survey seemingly features no skins for Venture, the game's latest Damage hero. Overwatch 2's lack of Venture skins has been criticized by fans of the character, though there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Blizzard previously teased that Overwatch 2 is adding an "exciting" Venture skin in Season 14. Season 14 starts on December 10, so fans should be getting a look at the new Venture skin sooner rather than later.
