Blizzard finally introduces new weapon skins to Overwatch 2 in season 8

Overwatch 2 players got a little early holiday surprise from Blizzard today as the new season eight trailer announced the debut of weapon skins next season.

Weapon skins have been a long-theorized addition to Overwatch, but for the most part, Blizzard has only dabbled in the idea. Typically, weapons are reskinned along with the skin a hero is using, like Cardboard Reinhardt coming with an appropriately taped-together cardboard hammer. The only avenues for customizing that look were either unlocking a gold-skinned version of a hero’s weapon after accruing Competitive Points or with the weapon customization options available just to Mythic skins.
