Blizzard’s given us a first look at upcoming Overwatch 2 Season 10 changes via a developer update posted this morning. The next Season will unlock the game’s Hero roster for all players and bring past Mythic skins back for purchase in the new Mythic Shop.

These changes were also detailed on the official Overwatch 2 blog, which we’ll break down into more detail for you here.

Overwatch 2 Season 10 Changes Detailed:

While the gameplay specifics are still under wraps, Blizzard’s making a few important high-level changes to the game for all players. Here’s what you can expect from Season 10:

• Hero Releases – Starting Season 10, all heroes will be immediately unlocked when they launch. All existing heroes will also be unlocked for players. This means that heroes will no longer need to be unlocked through the Battle Pass to play them, including Season 10’s new hero, Venture.
  • New players will still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes as they learn the ropes. Once the heroes from the original Overwatch roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available.
• Mythic Changes – Season 10 will introduce changes to how you earn, upgrade, and unlock Mythic hero skins through the new Mythic Shop. The Mythic Shop will allow you to work towards past and current seasonal Mythic hero skins as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass. You get to decide how far into each Mythic skin you would like to build. So, for example, if you don’t want to fully unlock all of a skin’s color or model variations, you can spread your progression towards other Mythic hero skins.
  • Blizzard is also adding past Mythic hero skins to the Mythic Shop, giving you the opportunity to pick up your favorites. Seasonal Mythic hero skins will be available two seasons after their debut. This means Mythic hero skins from Seasons 1 through 7 will be available in the Mythic Shop starting Season 10.
• Challenges and Coins – Starting Season 10, you will earn coins as you progress through the Free and Premium tracks of the Battle Pass, making them easier and more consistent to earn. Blizzard is also increasing the number of coins you can earn for free from 540 to 600 coins per season.
  • Weekly challenges will be more flexible to fit with your playstyle, and they will now reward Battle Pass XP.
• Keeping Gameplay Fresh – Blizzard has promised continued changes with new or updated systems, as well as meta shake-ups, rank resets, and new rewards. More details will be shared down the line as to the specific changes coming to Season 10.
• More Maps to Explore – The brand-new mode introduced at BlizzCon 2023, Clash, will make its debut this year with two accompanying maps. Season 10 will introduce a limited-time Clash trial with the new Hanaoka map upon launch.
  • Season 11 will introduce Runasapi, the new Push map set against the stunning backdrop of Peru in the world of Illari and the Inti Warriors. This season will also bring a reworked Colosseo.
  • Dorado, Circuit Royale, Havana, and Numbani are also on the agenda for upcoming significant updates. Blizzard will share more about the specific changes in the future.

So far, Season 10 is shaping up pretty positively. Let us know what you think about the planned changes in the comments. To learn more about these changes as we get closer to Season 10’s release date, stay tuned in to us here at MP1st.
