Overwatch 2 is Blizzard's team-based shooter, and it runs on a seasonal model: every few weeks the game gets a themed update bringing new cosmetic items, or "skins," that players can earn or buy without affecting gameplay balance. Season 4 of 2026, called Heroes of Busan, is part of a longer year-long storyline the game is telling called Reign of Talon, and this season's setting is the South Korean city of Busan, which shapes the visual theme of the new items.

The most sought-after items are "Mythic" skins, the rarest tier Blizzard makes, which include extra animations and customisation options rather than just a new outfit. This season gives a Mythic skin to Genji, a ninja-like hero, and a Mythic weapon skin to Sojourn, a rifle-wielding hero, alongside a wider range of cheaper skins for other characters sold through the in-game shop and the season's battle pass (a paid track of unlockable rewards).

This matters mainly to Overwatch's existing player base, since cosmetics are a major source of revenue for the free-to-play game and Mythic skins in particular tend to generate significant discussion within the community. There is also unconfirmed speculation about a possible tie-in with the K-pop group LE SSERAFIM, linked to their scheduled appearance at Blizzard's BlizzCon event in September, though Blizzard has not officially confirmed any collaboration.
