- Overwatch 2 players discuss Cassidy's unique Ultrawatch skin and a unique detail regarding his cigar.
- Season 11 will introduce a new map, hero balance adjustments, a Transformers crossover, and the return of the Summer Games.
- Season 11 will offer potentially engaging content, but it faces criticism over Battle Pass skins and limited customization options.
An Overwatch 2 player recently spotted a unique detail in Cassidy's new Ultrawatch skin and shared it with the community. This detail has got other Overwatch 2 fans and players discussing and theorizing about the skin. With Season 11 right around the corner, fans are now waiting for new updates, skins, and events.
The excitement builds as Overwatch 2 approaches a major update on July 9, just a week and a half before the launch of Season 11. The next season will bring a new map and hero balance adjustments, and the July 9 update will introduce a highly anticipated Transformers crossover and the return of the Summer Games. The upcoming Transformers event is expected to feature premium skins inspired by the franchise for characters such as Echo, Bastion, and Zenyatta. At the same time, the Summer Games will bring back popular modes like Lucioball and Winston Beach Volleyball, and reintroduce seasonal skins.
A Reddit user, SleptSick, first brought attention to Cassidy's Ultrawatch skin, noting that the character is not smoking a traditional cigar like he usually does. When the Ultrawatch skin is active, Cassidy's cigar looks like a shotgun shell, which obviously adds panache to his gunslinger style. Overwatch 2 community members quickly joined the discussion, with some suggesting it resembled a vape or even a custom round for his revolver. Some of the commenters on the post also made a joke about the cigar being a battery, but most of them seem to agree that the shotgun shell angle is more plausible.
Players are Waiting for Overwatch 2's Season 11
As Overwatch 2's Season 11 approaches, players are eagerly waiting for new content, which will include a range of thematic skins under the Super Mega Ultrawatch banner, inspired by the Tokusatsu/Sentai genre. These include the previously mentioned Cassidy skin and the new Mythic Skin for Ashe, dubbed Calamity Empress. This season is particularly rich, offering not just cosmetic updates but also significant gameplay enhancements and new features that promise to redefine the Overwatch 2 experience.
Season 11 of Overwatch 2 has also encountered some dissatisfaction among fans, particularly concerning the Battle Pass skins. Critics argue that the rewards, such as the new Genji skin, feel uninspired and resemble previous designs too ly, detracting from the sense of achievement associated with earning them. Additionally, players have voiced concerns about insufficient customization options for the Calamity Empress Ashe skin, especially regarding her partner B.O.B.'s equipment. Despite these grievances, the season still offers a variety of engaging content and updates, holding the potential to rejuvenate the player experience as it progresses.
The introduction of Cassidy’s updated Flashbang ability in Overwatch 2, replacing the Magnetic Grenade, adds another layer of depth to his character in Season 11. This change, alongside the map adjustments and expanded weekly challenges, should provide a balance between old tactics and new content. This blend of old and new elements continues to engage a diverse player base, keeping the Overwatch 2 community vibrant and active.
