Sigma Mythic Skin revealed for Overwatch 2

Nicholas James Published 08/04/2023

The Sigma Mythic skin coming to Overwatch 2 was revealed recently, and it’s a great-looking addition as the game’s fourth Mythic Skin.

The skin was revealed as a part of the Overwatch 2 Season 4 Battle Pass, which includes several skins for a variety of heroes. The new highest-rarity skin for Sigma was the headliner for many fans. Galactic Emperor Sigma adorns the Overwatch hero in golden epaulets and a long grey coat befitting the name.

Sigma Mythic Skin includes style switching

Sigma’s brand-new skin was revealed to be the star of the Overwatch 2 Season 4 Battle Pass. The Battle Pass is bringing with it a new Thai support hero named Lifeweaver as well as a brand new map. The map, called Talantis, will be the first-ever community-assisted map. The new Mythic skin’s name is Galactic Emperor Sigma and sees the gravity-wielding hero decked out in futuristic regalia reminiscent of Arcturus Mengsk from Blizzard’s StarCraft series. He’s not just limited to one futuristic look either, with several options to decide between.

The Battle Pass will release next week and will include several other skin styles. The general theme is space and space opera-inspired designs, which suits the Overwatch 2 roster quite well. The other skins include Space Pirate, Extraterrestrial, Bonebreaker, Intergalactic Smuggler, Festival, Infinite Seer, Infinite Annihilator, and Phi Ta Khon. The Mythic Skin will only be available through the battle pass, but it will include several style options. As with Mythic Skins before it, a range of color variants, weapon cosmetics, and similarly customizable elements will be available. The next season, and the Battle Pass therein, are scheduled to release on April 11.

The Battle Pass will be available for purchase through the in-game shop, as with all the battle passes before it. Players looking to earn the new Sigma skin can do so through the Battle Pass.
