Today, Blizzard announced the launch date of Overwatch 2 Season 11: Super Mega Ultrawatch, two months after the launch of Season 10. The new season will be available starting this Thursday, June 20, adding a new Mythic cosmetic type, a Push map, the return of Pink Mercy (with the proceed of her cosmetic items going fully to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation), new Hero Mastery Missions, and more.
- Runapasi Push Map: Hike your way to this hidden city in the Peruvian Andes in Overwatch 2’s latest push map. This map features narrow streets and nods to the local culture, including the Inti Warrior Historical Museum and Monument. Play it in Quick Play and Competitive upon the launch of Season 11.
- Hero Mastery: Sharpen your kunai and master your aim when the Hero Mastery single-player courses for both Kiriko and Soldier: 76 launch this season. Take on new challenges and earn new rewards and up to 22,500 Battle Pass XP during a limited-time event from June 20 through July 9.
- Pink Mercy for a Cause: Celebrating the power of Overwatch 2’s 100 million-player community, Pink Mercy returns to the store on June 25 with a new Rose Gold Mercy bundle. 100% of the proceeds from these items will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
- Mythic Weapon Skins: Coming with the Mid-Season Update, players will unlock cool-looking Mythic Weapon Skins. Similar to Heroic Weapon Skins, these come with exclusive sound and visual effects. Redeem Mythic Prisms to earn and upgrade Mythic Weapons to slay in style, starting with the Mythic Bound Demon Reinhardt Weapon Skin, coming July 23.
The Premium Battle Pass for Overwatch 2 Season 11 will include:
-
Up to 80 Mythic Prisms
-
5 Legendary Skins (Genji, Reaper, and Sojourn already confirmed)
-
Lifeguard Lucio Epic Skin
-
500 Credits
-
Souvenirs, Weapon Charms, Victory Poses, Highlight Intros and Emotes
-
Everything in the Free Battle Pass, including two additional Epic skins, 600 Overwatch Coins, an additional 1,500 Credits, and more.
As usual, with a new Overwatch 2 season, there are also several balance improvements to the heroes and the maps. Cassidy has swapped her Magnetic Grenade for a new and improved Flashbang that slows foes in their tracks. The glass on the Colosseo push map has been removed, along with other changes that will allow team fights to take place all over the streets of Rome.
Blizzard is also making weekly challenges more accessible. If you miss a week, you can catch up on the previous week’s challenges before working on the current ones. Weekly milestone rewards are easier to achieve than before, too. Completing three weekly challenges provides 20,000 XP. As each week passes, a new milestone reward becomes available.
