Season 2 of Overwatch has officially gone live, and Blizzard is pulling up to the payload with a brand new hero, fresh cosmetics, and new modes to keep you glued to your screen. According to Destructoid, the 'Reign of Talon' update is the real deal - and yes, your wallet is already sweating.
Say hello to Sierra
The headline act of Season 2 is Sierra, a brand new DPS hero joining the Overwatch roster. If you've been crying in the mirror every night wishing for a new damage dealer to blame your lost ranked games on, your prayers have been answered. Details on her full kit are still incoming as Blizzard rolls out the complete patch notes.
Mythic skins incoming
Because Blizzard knows exactly how to separate you from your Battle Pass progress, Season 2 is bringing new Mythic skins into the mix. The confirmed Mythic this season is for Volt, which sounds like it's going to be the kind of drip that makes you spend way too long in the hero select screen just admiring yourself. Cosmetic grinders, start your engines.
New modes and more
Beyond the new hero and skins, Season 2 is also bringing new game modes to the table - because apparently just losing on the same maps over and over wasn't enough variety for us. Full details on the modes are expected to be added as Blizzard releases the complete patch notes, so stay tuned for more information.
The 'Reign of Talon' season is shaping up to be a meaty update for Overwatch players who stuck around through the chaos of the live-service era. Whether Sierra ends up being a broken menace who gets nerfed in two weeks or a sleeper pick that only the sweaties abuse, we'll find out soon enough. Keep an eye on Destructoid for updated patch note coverage as Blizzard drops the full details.
