Overwatch 2 season five receives a new, role-playing flavor to its cosmetics. Furthermore, progression through the Battle Pass is revamped. Here, players guide Tracer and her adventuring party through a game of “Questwatch.”
Tracer receives her mythic skin as she becomes a knight to save Queen Emily of Overland. Subsequently, players will unlock the mythic customizations beginning at rank 45 of the Premium Battle Pass. Players can also enjoy role-playing the rest of Tracer’s party with new skins such as Royal Guard Genji, Slime Queen Echo, Demon Lord Reinhardt, and more.
Additionally, Overwatch 2 season five marks the debut of “Defeat the Demon Lord.” This is the first creator-made game mode. This was made possible through a partnership with CactusPuppy.
Primarily, “Defeat the Demon Lord” involves a team of four heroes chasing down the dark lord Reinhardt himself in a Deathmatch. Embark on this adventure at your own peril. This season also introduces key quests. These reward players with premium currency and XP for the Battle Pass.
“Mischief and Magic” is a new, limited-time mode variant of Elimination. The Royal Guard aims to bring elusive thieves to justice. However, these thieves can disguise themselves as everyday objects. Dive into this new mode on July 25th.
