Overwatch 2 heroes bust out the bikinis and swimsuits for season 18, plus a collab with a fan-favorite JRPG

A new season of Overwatch 2 brings an aquatic-themed support hero, and with it, many other heroes are dressing for the occasion.

The bikinis and swimsuits are aplenty when it comes to new skins in OW2's season 18, which begins next week on Aug. 26. While the new support Wuyang, an update for Perks, new playable characters in Stadium (along with Quick Play and a new mode), and the return of Summer Games may take precedent for some, let's be real: it's all about the skins.

Several OW2 heroes are stripping down to their swimsuits in celebration of season 18, with some skins found in the battle pass and others coming to the shop, that let these characters get comfy for their fun in the sun. Yeah, that's right, we finally got old man Reinhardt in some swim trunks and sandals, baby! It's about time!

Not to be outdone, one of the most anticipated announcements from today's reveal is a teaser at the very end of season 18's launch trailer, showcasing the silhouette of one of OW2's heroes as Joker from Persona 5, confirming the game's newest collab that's sure to excite JRPG fans everywhere.

If Sojourn isn't your thing, then maybe you'll want to save up some Mythic Prisms for the new Blazing Sunsetter Mythic weapon for Cassidy, which has a really cool kill animation to go along with a sick design.
