Summary

  • Overwatch 2 released “DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope,” a comic exploring magical girl versions of heroes.
  • The comic introduces Mythic Heart of Hope Juno, and teases future skins for characters like Lifeweaver.
  • The Season 16 update includes the new Stadium game mode, damage hero Freja, and DokiWatch skins.

In a recent update, Overwatch 2 unveiled “DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope,” a heartwarming comic that explores the origins of magical girl versions of heroes, based on numerous skins from Season 16. This delightful Overwatch 2 storyline presents the genesis tale for the Mythic Heart of Hope Juno, narrated by the character’s voice actor, and also hints at upcoming DokiWatch skins that have yet to be officially announced.

Just now, the Season 16: Stadium for Overwatch 2 kicked off! This major update brings a heap of thrilling content, such as the Stadium game mode giving it its name, the introduction of a new damage hero named Freja, and numerous skins to amass. Some of these cosmetic items, like the Mythic Heart of Hope Juno, draw inspiration from a magical girl theme called DokiWatch.

It appears that Overwatch 2 is emphasizing the “DokiWatch” theme more than usual in its skin designs. The new comic titled “DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope”, voiced by Xanthe Huynh, who plays Juno, delves into the past of the Overwatch 2 heroes centered around hope. In this narrative, Juno is found by Kiriko, Brigitte, Widowmaker, and Freja following an encounter with Nocturna, the malevolent incarnation of Hollow Heart D.Va. The group battles their former ally, awakens Juno’s powers as the Beacon of Hope, and saves the day; however, Nocturna manages to escape with assistance from a mysterious figure towards the end.

‘DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope’ Magical Girl Overwatch 2 Comic

Despite being seen only from behind and sporting distinctive features such as long white hair, a ribbon, petal platform, and no current skins fitting the DokiWatch theme in Overwatch 2 Season 16, it appears we’re dealing with Lifeweaver. This suggests that future updates may introduce more DokiWatch skins for characters like Mercy, who was introduced at the comic’s start and is receiving the Merciful Magitech Mythic Weapon skin but lacks a full DokiWatch skin herself, hinting at possible plans to expand this theme in Overwatch 2.

Regardless of the route taken, the acclaimed comic within Overwatch 2 is a significant leap for its narrative. Apart from the cinematics linked to LE SSERAFIM collaborations, and Mirrorwatch’s additional voice lines and game mode, not many skin themes have been offered such extensive chances for in-depth storytelling as DokiWatch. Here’s hoping that this implies more elaborate explorations of Overwatch 2’s alternate universes will be presented to players in the future.

During the upcoming Overwatch 2 mid-season 16 update, expected around late May, the Mythic Heart of Hope Juno will be available for purchase at the Mythic Shop. Meanwhile, skins for Brigitte, Moira, and Tracer can be found within the Battle Pass. Extra cosmetics for Freja, Kiriko, Widowmaker, D.Va, and some other heroes are offered in the cash shop. Additionally, the Merciful Magitech Mythic Weapon Skin for Mercy will become a permanent addition to the Mythic Shop during this update.
