Blizzard continues to explore creative directions for Overwatch 2 cosmetics, and the latest player survey gives fans a sneak peek at what could arrive in future updates. More than 40 unique skin concepts have surfaced, spanning a wide range of themes that mix high fashion, fantasy, and futuristic aesthetics. While there’s no guarantee that every design will make it into the game, history suggests that at least some of these survey skins could become official Overwatch 2 cosmetics in the next year or two.
A New Batch of Skins Appears
The September 2025 survey was compiled by the fan account Overwatch Cavalry and later shared on Reddit by user CosmiqCowboy. According to the post, this round of surveys showcased skins divided across 10 themed collections, each with several heroes receiving concept designs. These include:
-
High Fashion Mafia: Ashe, Ana, Wuyang, Moira
-
Retro Cute: Juno, Freja, Orisa, Wrecking Ball
-
Monster School: Widowmaker, Ramattra, Mei, Wuyang
-
Fairytale Warriors: Reinhardt, Widowmaker, Brigitte, Genji
-
Futuristic Hospital: Mercy, Ana, Widowmaker, Sigma
-
Fall Fashion: Sombra, Zenyatta, Venture, Mercy
-
Snow Sports: Kiriko, Sojourn, Orisa, Cassidy
-
Ghostly Bride: D.Va, Baptiste, Mei, Ashe
-
Cyber Angels: Echo, Reaper, Juno, Pharah
-
Holographic Goth: Ashe, Reaper, Symmetra, Hazard
This variety reflects Blizzard’s ongoing push to blend Overwatch’s distinct character personalities with imaginative new aesthetics that stand out from traditional seasonal or lore-based skins.
From Surveys to Skins: How Blizzard Uses Fan Feedback
Surveys like this are not new to Overwatch 2. Since late 2023, Blizzard has sent periodic surveys to gauge community interest in potential cosmetics. Many popular sets started as concepts in these surveys before becoming reality, such as:
-
Norse Mythology skins (Season 14)
-
Demon Rock Band skins (Season 16)
-
8-Bit pixel skins (Season 17)
-
Summer and flower-themed cosmetics (Season 18)
This precedent suggests that while not every concept will make the cut, several of the designs revealed in the September 2025 survey are likely to appear in-game in the future. However, the process usually takes a year or more, meaning fans may not see these skins until mid-to-late 2026.
Timing and Expectations
This marks the third survey of 2025, with Blizzard consistently releasing new ones every two to five months. A fourth survey before the end of the year is possible, but many expect the next batch to arrive in early 2026. For now, players can enjoy the excitement of imagining what these themes might look like fully realized in-game.
Overwatch 2’s Current Roadmap
Even without these future skins, Overwatch 2 players have plenty to keep busy with. Season 18 launched on August 26, 2025, bringing with it:
-
A new support hero, Wuyang
-
A major Perks system overhaul
-
Special events, including the Overwatch 2 x NBA crossover with Luka Dončić, featuring 77 free loot boxes
Looking further ahead, Season 20 later this year will introduce one more hero, ensuring that content pipelines remain full while Blizzard refines its cosmetic strategy.
With Blizzard’s long track record of turning fan feedback into cosmetic collections, these new survey skins could very well shape the future of Overwatch 2’s cosmetic catalog. Whether it’s Cyber Angels soaring across the battlefield or Fairytale Warriors clashing with futuristic assassins, players now have even more reason to look forward to what’s next.
