The Masquerade Rages on into Season 19’s Midcycle

Season 19 lit the candles, cast the shadows, steeped in mystery, style, and spooky spectacles. But we're not fading into the dark just yet! The midcycle masquerade is here, and it's primed to keep the party going! This round brings a fresh limited-time mode, new skin drops that drip, and more.

Spirit Showdown

Your mains can't save you here. Spirit Showdown is a fast-paced fight where every elimination swaps your current Hero instantly. You'll also change Heroes if you're eliminated twice without getting a kill of your own. So, you'll need to think fast, adapt faster, and flex your skills across the entire Hero lineup to survive this skirmish. Each battle pushes you to mastery, forcing teams to find balance as the Hero pool continuously shifts. It's giving pure Overwatch energy: skill, adaptability, and a whole lot of hilarious panic. Every kill changes the tide, every respawn rewrites your story, and no two rounds will play out alike. Slay, swap and master the roster in Spirit Showdown, available now through November 24!

Mythic Cyber Fuel Junkrat

The demolition man gets wired for mayhem as he goes digital and drifts into the void with his chaotic new Mythic form!

Dialed into the netstream of the future, Mythic Cyber Fuel Junkrat turns hacking into havoc and explosive eliminations into an artform. This chaotic icon is pulsing with void energy and punk defiance as he plants bugs in the system-literally-blowing up BigTech's best-laid plans. This new Mythic is part punk demolitionist, part digital void ghost, and all mayhem. Junkrat's new look makes every explosion a statement, and every spark a warning.

From the moment you unlock Mythic Cyber Fuel Junkrat, you'll wield his full Mythic form, complete with explosive VFX and SFX that hum with glitchfire and anarchy. Then you'll amplify and refine your style as you unlock new colorways, tires, and an eerie ambient glow worthy of the void. Junkrat's always been loud, unpredictable, and over the top… but now, he's transcended to become Mythical. Rage through the battlefield as the radical cyber rebel you were coded to be!

Junkrat's Loot Hunt

The demolition doesn't stop at the Mythic-Junkrat's Loot Hunt is back for another round of pure, chaotic fun, letting you snag up to 9 Loot Boxes just by playing. This time, every 5 matches in any mode earns a new Loot Box, and wins count double, so it pays to play loud, proud, and just a little unhinged.

Progress carries through the whole weekend, so you can play your way, stack your boxes, and let the explosions rain down. Log in, light the fuse, and unbox your rewards from November 20-23!
