This update brings an array of new skins, enticing players to dive back into the game and earn these cosmetic treasures through the battle pass or the in-game store. The highlight of this season is the collection of Legendary skins, each adding a unique flair to the game’s characters.
Legendary Skins in Overwatch 2 Season 13
Season 13’s battle pass features five new Legendary skins, showcasing the game’s creativity and thematic alignment. Let’s explore these new additions:
- Bog Witch Ana (Tier 80): Ana embraces her inner swamp witch with a look that’s both eerie and enchanting. Her outfit, complete with a broom, makes her stand out on the battlefield, adding a mystical element to her character.
- Necrotic Witch Junker Queen (Tier 1): This skin transforms Junker Queen into a fearsome necromancer, complete with spellbooks that hint at her dark arts. This transformation is a nod to the supernatural theme of the season.
- Witchbane Sojourn (Tier 20): Sojourn becomes the quintessential witch hunter with her Witchbane skin. Armed with her rifle, she is ready to hunt down any spell-casting foes, adding a layer of intensity to her gameplay.
- Gnome Torbjorn (Tier 60): Torbjorn’s new skin is whimsical and reminiscent of a garden gnome. While it feels more suited for a winter event, its quirky nature fits the season’s playful undertones.
- Monstrous Sigma (Tier 30): This skin gives Sigma a mythical appearance, resembling a statue made of marble and gold. Its design is intriguing, though the name might not fully capture its essence.

Mythic Skin: Spellbinder Widowmaker
The pinnacle of Season 13 is the Mythic skin for Widowmaker, known as Spellbinder. This skin evolves as players progress, transforming Widowmaker from an apprentice to a master of dark arts. The final version of this skin exudes gothic elegance, with fiery elements that make Widowmaker look both powerful and enchanting.
