## Summary

Overwatch’s mid-season update adds a crossover with Stellar Blade and Roadhog’s first Mythic skin, alongside returning activities and a major story event. The update also changes competitive drives, giving players more ways to earn rewards across different modes.

The Eve Protocol crossover features five shop-only skins and runs until 17 November, with no free collaboration skin. Roadhog’s Mythic skin, Necrotic Knight, has silver and toxic-green armour in its base form, with later tiers adding scarlet armour and a skull mask. The five-week Taking Reign event has 24 reward tiers: its free track includes a recoloured Sigma skin, while the paid track costs 1,000 Overwatch coins, about $10, and includes a Vendetta weapon and legendary Doomfist skin.
