  • Overwatch 2 introduces season 10 with fresh hero, skins, and alterations, including alternate universe skins for well-known heroes.
  • A fan's creative artwork reimagines a pivotal moment from the official "Alive" cinematic featuring Tracer and Widowmaker in the Mirrorwatch universe.
  • The Mirrorwatch event in Overwatch 2 promises players a unique limited-time mode with revamped maps and hero abilities.

Overwatch 2's animated shorts have given rise to some of the franchise's most memorable scenes. A stunning piece of fan art inspired by the upcoming Mirrorwatch event puts a fresh spin on a notable moment between Tracer and Widowmaker. Season 10 of Overwatch 2 has brought significant updates, including a new hero, requested changes to the battle pass, and a range of captivating new skins where heroes take on villainous roles.

The new skins have been well received by fans, especially the alternate universe versions of heroes like Reinhardt, Brigitte, and Tracer, dressed in Talon attire, and antagonists like Widowmaker, Sombra, and Doomfist, now in Overwatch uniforms. Players have delighted in the intricate details of these new Overwatch 2 skins, available through the premium battle pass or other acquisition methods.

With the introduction of Mirrorwatch cosmetics, fans have shared their own creative artworks, but one piece by breikka on Twitter has particularly stood out. This artwork reimagines the iconic rooftop scene from the official Overwatch cinematic "Alive," where Tracer confronts Widowmaker after the assassin's attack on Omnic leader Mondatta. In this alternate Mirrorwatch universe, Widowmaker is an Overwatch agent, and Tracer, affiliated with Talon, is responsible for Mondatta's demise.

Fans speculate on Mondatta's replacement in this alternate reality, with Ramattra possibly taking the place of the Omnic leader, who now leads Null Sector against humanity. Not all skins in this season follow the Overwatch and Talon theme; characters like Genji and Symmetra sport Junker skins, hinting at a connection to Junkertown in this alternate timeline.

What Awaits Fans in Overwatch 2's Mirrorwatch Event

Beyond the visually captivating skins and intriguing alternate storyline, Overwatch 2's Mirrorwatch event offers players a time-limited mode with revamped maps and altered abilities for select heroes. Scheduled from April 23 to May 13, this event promises a refreshing gameplay experience for fans to enjoy.
