Overwatch 2 Heroes Become Free-To-Unlock Starting Season 10

In the latest developer update, Blizzard confirms that all new and existing Overwatch 2 heroes will be immediately unlocked once Season 10 drops. This includes the new DPS hero, Venture, who was first teased during BlizzCon 2023.

New players still need to complete the onboarding experience to progressively unlock heroes, but once the heroes from the first game’s roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available immediately. Previously, players were required to unlock new heroes by completing challenges or progressing the season’s Battle Pass.

The developer update includes several other changes to the Battle Pass system, including allowing players to earn coins as they progress through the Free and Premium Battle Pass. Players will now earn 600 coins for free instead of the previous 540 coins. However, it is still unclear whether Gold coins will be offered for free in the Battle Pass.

Not only that, Overwatch 2 will be introducing a new Mythic Shop in Season 10. This allows players to work towards past and current seasonal Mythic hero skins as they progress through the Premium Battle Pass. Seasonal Mythic hero skins will be available two seasons after their debut. More information about this is expected closer to the launch of Season 10.
