Overwatch’s latest skin challenge is in the books — quite literally, given the Tracer outfit had panels from an Overwatch comic book series on it. Blizzard hasn’t wasted a moment in offering more cosmetics for a limited time though, as the 2020 Overwatch League All-Stars skins are now available.
Sure, the Celestial D.Va and Gaia Reinhardt skins will cost you 200 OWL tokens each. But if you have enough saved up — or some spare cash — they’ll be gorgeous additions to your hero gallery. They are only available for purchase until October 12th.
The latest skins arrived as part of the latest Overwatch patch, which is rolling out now across PC and consoles. The only other updates in this patch are bug fixes, including ones for Genji’s Swift Strike (which dealt double damage in some situations) and Tracer’s Blink ability, which didn’t work properly in some rooms.
There’s also a fix for the “gg ez” chat filter. Blizzard is testing more robust chat filters on the PTR, and those should make their way to the live game relatively soon. So too should changes to how elevators work, Reinhardt’s ultimate voice line and one of the best Easter eggs in Overwatch.
