Overwatch season 15 was released February 18 of this year, and I have been so excited about it. We had so much in store for this season, so let me talk about it in this blog!
- Loot Boxes
These were the most exciting things about the new season. Overwatch used to have loot boxes way before I played but they got removed! In this season they returned. You can get up to 100 per season! Full of free cosmetics, stickers, voice lines, and profile pictures/banners. It’s the best feeling to me to be able to rip open a loot box!
2. Galactic weapons
Overwatch has a competitive mode, and in this mode, you can get weapon variants, which include gold and jade, but this season galactic themed weapons were added! I don’t often play comp, but this is definitely something that encourages me to play that game mode!
3. Battle Pass skins
This battle pass was the cutest thing ever. I honestly don’t know what the theme is.. (I think it’s Chinese New Year?) but these skins are so cool, and I bought this battle pass, so I get all of them! The most exciting thing was a new Venture skin because they often get ignored. Zarya as well! All of these skins are amazing, and there are the cutest weapon charms in this battle pass as well.
4. Zenyatta Mythic skin & Widow Mythic weapon
Zenyatta’s new skin is like the most awesome thing ever. The skin is beautful, but I won’t be getting it just yet because I’m saving for Ashe… sigh </3. It is based off of Pixiu, which is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature
Widowmaker was also given a mythic, but this one is a mythic gun. It’s so cool looking, and I can’t even play her.. (I have no aim) I’ve definitely been tempted to learn just to get it! Mythic weapons add a flourish ability and show an animation when you get a kill!! It’s so cool looking, sigh…
5. Le Sserafim Collab pt.2
Le Sserafim has collaborated with Overwatch before, but this is the second one! This collab included Illari, Ashe, D.va, Mercy, and Juno (left to right). I was very excited about this one, just because Ashe and Illari got skins which they BARELY get. I absolutely purchased a skin from this! I believed that I wouldn’t at first, but Illari was calling my name.. who am I to not answer??
6. Perks
Perks have to be the most exciting thing Overwatch has added. During a game you get to choose from two perks twice. You get choices that can help your playstyle. It was difficult to get used to this because it was added so suddenly, but it makes the game so much more interesting, and I just found out that in the mystery heroes game mode your perks get randomized, so it helps you experiment with this way more.
Most of this blog is just me yapping about things most of you know nothing about, but I love Overwatch, and I am so glad that they have been improving so much. This will always be my favorite game, and I can’t wait for much more in the future.
I might have to start playing again now that they re-added loot boxes. The other new features also look so fun!
le sserafim my beloved. genuinly might play overwatch just to see them in the game.
Overwatch is beckoning me to get serious about it but also, I’m so scared of wanting to spend money on a game. 🙁
