Summary
- Overwatch 2 hints at an upcoming Mythic Mercy skin, featuring multiple customization options for users.
- Season 10's battle pass will likely include the highly anticipated Mythic Mercy skin, offering a more sinister appearance for the support hero.
- Blizzard will introduce the Mythic Shop in Season 10, allowing players to unlock and upgrade past Mythic skins in a more customizable way.
As part of Overwatch 2's newest teaser for Season 10, Blizzard hinted at what seems to be a Mythic Mercy skin coming to the game soon. The potential Mythic skin would be the tenth of its kind added to Overwatch 2.
Overwatch 2's Mythic skins represent the rarest tier, sitting one above Legendary. These cosmetic makeovers give users multiple customization options, which are sometimes unlocked as a user progresses through a battle pass or unlocked all at once in the pass' final tier. So far, Blizzard has released one new Mythic skin with each battle pass, and the developer seems to have partially revealed the skin coming in Season 10's battle pass releasing on April 16.
The official Overwatch Twitter account posted a short, 16-second teaser mostly focusing on Season 10's new hero called Venture. However, the teaser's last five seconds revealed a new skin mostly shrouded in darkness. The mysterious hero reads a voice line saying, "No mercy," leading many to speculate that Blizzard is clearly teasing a Mythic Mercy skin coming in Season 10 as its most valuable cosmetic item. The voice line is read in a more evil-sounding tone than Mercy's usual voice lines, but it seems to be the same voice actor. The skin sports a skull-like mask with glowing red eyes, giving the popular support hero an uncharacteristically intimidating appearance. If Blizzard is in fact teasing a Mythic Mercy skin, which seems quite likely, it will presumably be unlockable as part of Season 10's premium battle pass.
There has been speculation in recent months of a Mythic Mercy skin coming to Overwatch 2. The hero's popularity and strong presence in Overwatch lore make Mercy seem like an obvious choice to headline a battle pass. However, Mercy has yet to receive a Mythic makeover.
Overwatch 2's Mythic Moira skin in Season 9 allowed users to customize its weapon, mask, and color; the teased Season 10 skin will likely have similar options. The Moira skin even came with an additional feature that modified the hero's highlight intros to make them much flashier, although it's unclear if Season 10's Mythic skin will include a similar upgrade.
Season 10's Mythic Shop Brings New Approach to Rarest Skins
Beginning with Season 10, Mythic skins will be unlocked in a new way thanks to Blizzard's recently announced Mythic Shop for Overwatch 2. The shop allows premium battle pass users to unlock and upgrade current and past Mythic skins by progressing through the season. The Mythic Shop lets users choose which customization upgrades they would like to invest in for each Mythic skin, allowing players to spread their earned points over multiple skins and unlock their favorite features before moving on.
