I’m looking forward to other aesthetics, because it feels like we’ve been in cutesy mode for a while. I’d most enjoy skins that look like things the heroes would actually wear rather than Halloween party costumes. We used to do more of that in early OW days.

Call me crazy, but it seems like they are avoiding all too much how to acquire these skins for now…

Maybe we’ll get one of these ultra skins for a tank that isnt Dva or Rein in 2028

The lack of price and how to obtain these is a huge red flag

In game it has the shop icon. So most likely with coins from the shop.

If its anything above 2500 coins its not worth it, this is so greedy, and the fact they are tight-lipped on the price screams volumes.

Ok, that Sierra weapon is kinda dope, not gonna lie. :partying_face:

If you can give Bob and even Kiris suzu a cat tail, give reaper one

Really hoping y’all aren’t about to be charging $30+ worth of credits for a single skin. I love what you’re doing with the Ultra Skins in terms of design (and the immortalizing of Jack the Cat is very sweet), but I would love if there are multiple options to get the skins. I personally have a bunch of mythic prisms saved up- it would be awesome if we could use them to purchase Ultra skins in addition to credits or money. Maybe 40 or 60 prisms per Ultra skin? Anyway, I love the skins themselves, I just hope they’ll be affordable to players who love the game and have been supporting it for years. Thanks.

All artists put a little bit of their heart into everything they create, and our senior sound designer Nicholas Yochum—who got his own Weekly Recall earlier this year—recorded the meows and chirps of his cat, Jack, for these skins. Jack had just been diagnosed with bone cancer and this was a way for Nicholas to both immortalize his friend within Overwatch and share him with all of you.

Being able to immortalize your fur friend in a way that will simultaneously bring joy to a lot of people is simultaneously tragic and heartwarming.

Thank you, Nicholas, for sharing a part of Jack with us. :heart:

Skins are overpriced as it is. I am not looking forward to this new level of ‘Rarity’.

They are in the loot boxes so you can still get them with luck.

I think it was Rein’s that I got about a month ago from a loot box. Not sure if they’re still in the odds for the loot table chances but if they are then you’ve got a shot!

There is a lot that I’m excited for this season. The new hero is great. The new map is great. I’m excited to have Summer games actually in the summer this time.

But, I think that the ultra skins are a big swing and a miss that you should rethink. These are what Legendary skins should be. We don’t need a new tier. We just need legendary skins to actually be legendary like they are supposed to be. This feels like just trying to milk us for more money honestly.

To be honest, anything over 1900 isn’t worth it. These are not worth $25. Skin prices are already too high.
