"Overwatch 2 to Offer Free Heroes and Revamp Mythic Skin System"
TL;DR Summary
Blizzard announces that new heroes in Overwatch 2 will be instantly available to all players, eliminating the advantage of paying players who previously accessed them faster through the Premium Battle Pass. While this change benefits free-to-play users, those who purchased the pass for quicker hero unlocks will not receive any compensation, as Blizzard confirmed no plans for refunds or gifts. The shift will apply to both upcoming and existing heroes, affecting the distribution model from Season 10 onwards.
