The match timer hit zero and my HUD exploded in koi and facets of light. Genji’s Duality of Koi stopped the lobby dead — he is a living ink painting. I’ve been tracking Blizzard’s seasonal rhythms for years, and you’ll want the short tour I’m about to give.
I’ll tell you what’s new, what matters, and why a couple of Mythics are already setting the chat aflame. Read this like a field report: quick, opinionated, and arranged so you can grab what matters in seconds.
Morning foot traffic outside Busan’s stadium still hums — All Overwatch season 4 skins – Heroes of Busan
Season four of Reign of Talon drops with a clear agenda: celebrate Busan, push new cosmetics, and keep the economy humming through Mythics and shop lines. I checked the trailer, the battle pass notes, and the shop preview panels (Moyens I/O collected many of the official assets). Here’s what matters, fast.
What skins are in Overwatch season 4?
The battle pass is the backbone. After a small “introductory track” you choose which Legendary skin you want to pursue, and the Unvaulted Passes feature gives players another shot at select previous rewards. Expect new pieces across the board: legends, Mythics, and shop lines tied to Busan’s theme.
The battle pass line-up includes both of Busan’s hometown heroes and several players you’ll recognize from competitive rotations:
- Moira
- Pharah
- Junker Queen
- D.Mon
- D.Va
- Brigitte
- Cassidy

Genji’s “Duality of Koi” is this season’s headline Mythic and it’s built as a multi-stage reveal. I tested the levels shown in the trailer and read the dev notes: the skin grows, shifts, and finishes with a circling koi effect that doubles as a finish-state for the cosmetic.
- Level 1: Base Duality Mythic appearance — the starting silhouette and motif.
- Level 2: Multiple hairstyles to shift the silhouette — an updo and longer options.
- Level 3: Alternate colorways to tweak the black-and-white theme.
- Level 4: Final state with luminous koi circling Genji, a ceremony of motion and finish effects.
How do Mythic skins work in Overwatch?
Mythics in Overwatch 2 are multi-tiered cosmetics that grow with player progress or achievements. They often include level-based flair: color swaps, animations, and kill/ultimate effects that stack into a final presentation. You’ll buy or obtain them with Prisms (the in-game premium currency), and they tend to be the most visually elaborate items any season offers.

Sojourn’s “Eternal Crystal” weapon skin is the other major Mythic. It’s reactive, theatrical, and performs in-match to show off status. The rifle becomes an event that finishes with crystal shatter effects on kills; the design is intense enough to be noticed in highlight reels.
Mechanically, the weapon stages are:
- Level 1: Base Eternal Crystal cosmetic with gilded details.
- Level 2: Reactive barrel fractures and a growing animated orb; visual signals tied to eliminations and Ultimate charge.
- Level 3: Two Flourish animations that bring a matching dagger into play when reloading rhythmically.
- Level 4: Final kills produce a crystalline reality-crack effect that reads well on stream.
Sojourn’s rifle is a lightning cathedral when it finishes its sequence, and that final flourish is crafted to pop in clips and montages.

The shop will rotate several fresh lines this season. Blizzard teased a handful of themed collections that could expand over the coming weeks, and these are the ones to watch early.
Fleece and Fangs
A playful mash of predator and wool: expect hybrid outfits across these heroes.
- Juno
- Mercy
- Mei
- Reaper
- Hanzo
- Vendetta
Young Gods
God motifs, regal textures, and one absurd Jetpack Cat entry. The roster here includes Doomfist, Kiriko, Jetpack Cat, Wuyang, and Freja.
Will LE SSERAFIM skins appear during season 4?
BlizzCon is scheduled for Sept. 13 and the K-pop group LE SSERAFIM is on the closing ceremony bill — an obvious promotional fit for a Busan-themed season. The trailer dropped a short tease and older LE SSERAFIM pieces could return under the Unvaulted Passes feature, so plan accordingly if you want that collab in your collection.
A streamer pauses mid-broadcast to type in chat — Final notes and how to prioritize
You should pick your priority based on three things: who you play most, what clips will pop on your channel, and whether a skin’s final state matters to you. Mythics are made for spectacle; if you stream or clip highlights, they bring disproportionate attention. If you’re a completionist, the revised battle pass choice and Unvaulted Passes will matter.
I follow Blizzard posts, the official YouTube trailers, and community coverage from outlets like Moyens I/O and major creators — that’s how I’ve parsed what’s likely to rotate in. If you want this season’s flashiest items, track the Mythic stages closely and set prism bundles aside now.
Which skin are you saving Prisms for first: Genji’s koi ceremony, Sojourn’s crystalline finale, or a shop line that fits your roster?
