Blizzard Brings Back Rare Legendary OWL Skins For A Limited Time

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension regarding the latest announcement from Blizzard about the return of Overwatch League (OWL) skins in Overwatch 2. On one hand, it’s fantastic news to see these iconic and highly detailed skins making a comeback, especially for fans like myself who have been longing to complete our collections.

In Overwatch 2, there’s a lot to explore, but it’s the intricately designed, cleverly animated character skins and cosmetics that truly captivate players. If you’re an Overwatch League (OWL) history enthusiast who loves the skins inspired by these historical periods, here’s some news you might find interesting – a mix of both positive and negative aspects.

In the exciting world of Overwatch 2, Blizzard is reintroducing the cherished and historic OWL skins for players to acquire, thereby enhancing their collections. Yet, it’s worth noting that they will also be closing down the Overwatch League Shop. Here’s a closer look at the revival of these skins and the present situation of the Overwatch League Shop in Overwatch 2.

As announced by Blizzard, the Overwatch League Shop will offer an unvaulting period starting from September 10th and ending on October 18th. During this timeframe, they plan to reintroduce a variety of Overwatch League team skins, both new and old, as well as Overwatch League and Contenders Home and Away skins, and other in-game items.

In addition to some famed Overwatch League character skins, such as the All-Star Genji, these rare cosmetics will once more appear in the game. Mostly, these skins can be obtained using OWL Tokens, but they’ll also be offered as sets in the primary store, enabling players to buy them with Overwatch 2’s internal currency. Here’s a summary of the accessible skins:

September 10 – September 24: All-Stars Unvault Bundle featuring All-Star Mercy, All-Star Reinhardt, All-Star Lúcio, and All-Star D.Va
October 1 – October 8: Overwatch League Legends Mega Bundle with All-Star Tracer, All-Star Genji, Zen-Nakji Zenyatta, and Good and Evil Echo
October 8 – October 15: Overwatch League 2022 Tournament Bundle including Luchador Reaper, Royal Knight Mercy, Happi Genji, and Clockwork Zenyatta

While this is exciting news, the downside appears further into the blog post, where Blizzard states: “The Overwatch League Shop will remain open until at least December 2025… Upon any closure of the Overwatch League Shop, Overwatch League Tokens will be converted to an in-game Overwatch currency.” This suggests the shop could be permanently closed, and any remaining Tokens will be converted to a different currency.

It appears that Blizzard has hinted, but not yet confirmed, that the Overwatch League Token will no longer be available for purchase as of December 9, 2024. After this date, if players exhaust their current supply of Tokens, they won’t be able to buy the associated skins. This could suggest a future closure of the shop, although it’s important to note that these details are subject to change.

As a dedicated fan, I’m optimistic that Blizzard might find this un-vaulting venture successful enough for them to consider more of the same in the future. For now, it’s essential to grab those OWL skins while you can, since they might not be around forever in Overwatch, and who knows if they will transition to Overwatch 2.
