Overwatch 2 Season 10 Launches: New Hero, Exciting Events, and Controversy Over High-Priced Mythic Skins!

Season 10 of Overwatch 2 has launched with exciting updates and new content, including the introduction of the game’s 40th hero, Venture, and adjustments to the battle pass rewards to incorporate Overwatch Coins. However, a significant addition has sparked mixed feelings among players: the introduction of Mythic Prism currency for purchasing mythic-tier skins. This new currency has been met with disappointment due to its high cost.

The season also features a fresh limited-time event, Mirrorwatch, which flips the allegiances of the characters, allowing players to see familiar heroes like Tracer, Reinhardt, and Ana in villainous Talon skins, while traditional antagonists such as Doomfist and Widowmaker sport Overwatch-themed outfits. These updates add an intriguing twist to the character roster and their stories.

The newly introduced Mythic Prisms allow players to purchase previously released mythic-tier skins. However, the excitement over this flexibility has been dampened by the steep pricing: 80 Prisms, necessary for a fully-upgraded Mythic skin, cost $75 USD.

The bundles offered are priced as follows:

• 10 Mythic Prisms for $9.99 USD
• 50 Mythic Prisms for $39.99 USD
• 100 Mythic Prisms for $74.99 USD

While the cost of these prisms is high, the method for acquiring mythic skins largely remains the same. Players still have the option to earn up to 80 Prisms through the premium battle pass, which costs 1,000 Overwatch Coins, equivalent to $9.99. This system offers some level of choice, allowing players to select which mythic skins to unlock and upgrade.

Despite the high costs associated with Mythic Prisms, Overwatch 2 continues to provide ways for players to access these prestigious items, albeit at a significant financial commitment. The new season offers plenty of content and updates, keeping the community engaged, even as it navigates the complexities of its new pricing structure.
