Overwatch x Hatred’s Reckoning — All Five New Legendary Skins

These five skins are brand new and have never appeared in Overwatch before. Each one recasts a familiar hero as an iconic Diablo class or villain.

Ramattra
Ramattra x Mephisto
The Lord of Hatred himself. Ramattra becomes Mephisto — patient, inevitable, spreading darkness across the battlefield.
Brigitte
Brigitte x Paladin
Light against the darkness. Brigitte is recast as a Paladin holding the line with unbreakable faith.
Freja
Freja x Rogue
Silent and precise. Freja becomes a Rogue who stalks through shadows and delivers a quick death before anyone knows she was there.
Lifeweaver
Lifeweaver x Warlock
Creation and corruption blurred together. Lifeweaver’s Warlock skin walks the fine line between healing and harm.
Mauga
Mauga x Druid
Mauga storms the battlefield as a Druid, calling the natural world to answer with relentless ferocity.

  • Sombra x Gilded Hunter — Always watching, always waiting to strike at exactly the right moment.
