Blizzard is taking their Overwatch 2 skin game to the next level with the first Mythic-tier skin in the series which comes in the form of a new Cyber Demon outfit for Genji.

“Mythic skins soar a tier above Legendary, pushing the artwork, animation, and special effects to levels we hadn’t incorporated in our skins to this point!,” Blizzard said.

“We chose Genji for the first Mythic skin for several reasons, but it ultimately felt very natural to build this skin for one of the most beloved heroes in the game,” the studio added. “I mean, who doesn’t love the little brother dragon who was rescued from the edge of death to become a lethal, cyborg-ninja who ultimately found his purpose in peace and harmony?”

The catch is that the flashy new skin can only be obtained by completing the premium battle pass on or before December 6th.

On the subject of skins, Blizzard has addressed complaints about the price of Legacy Overwatch skins by reducing their price, but only for Overwatch veterans with Legacy Coins. New players will still have to pay regular price to purchase the old skins, which, according to one Reddit user, would cost over $10,000 to unlock all of the Legacy skins on offer.
