Top Overwatch 2 Battle Pass Themes Fans Are Begging For!

As we edge closer to three years since its launch in October 2022, Overwatch 2 is preparing for Season 15. Given the numerous modifications it’s undergone so far, it’s clear that there will be more significant updates ahead when we reach 2025 with this action-packed hero-shooter game from Blizzard.

As Team 4 keeps coming up with novel concepts for the game, fans eagerly anticipate diverse and creative battle passes. Previous seasons have showcased captivating themes such as Cyberpunk, Norse folklore, and designs reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons. Given the survey skins for Overwatch 2, it seems that the game’s future content holds great promise.

Popular Seasonal Themes Overwatch 2 Has Yet to Explore

A Japanese Yokai Themed Battle Pass

A newer Blizzard survey revealed that the Yokai theme, based on Japanese folklore supernatural spirits, has sparked interest among many players. For the upcoming season, a broad theme could feature skins for Kiriko, Ashe, Widowmaker, Roadhog, and other heroes of Japanese origin like Genji and Hanzo.

In a different phrasing, it’s essential to distinguish between the concept of Yokai, as traditionally understood, and the Yokai team that battles against the Hashimoto family within the lore of Overwatch 2’s game world.

An Enchanted Forest-Themed Battle Pass

In April 2024, one of the ideas for Overwatch 2 skins centered around a mystical forest nestled in a bog. Although Orisa has a Legendary spear inspired by the Forest Spirit, this theme hasn’t been fully utilized yet. Fans who made wishlists found the ethereal fairy-like qualities of these potential skins incredibly captivating. It might resemble the visual style of Season 5, which featured the limited-time event Questwatch and its accompanying cosmetics.

A Noir-Themed Battle Pass

For fans of Noir-style games, the April character skins were captivating, featuring Soldier: 76, Reaper, Ana, and Sojourn. The Noir genre is strongly influenced by crime movies and literature, which frequently explore themes of moral complexity, destiny, and suspicion. Given that Sojourn already has a Cyber Investigator skin, her inclusion seems fitting. In a season with a darker tone, Reaper emerges as a strong choice, while characters like Ramattra also shine. Femme fatale types such as Moira, Widowmaker, and Sombra are ideal for this theme.

A Battle Animal Themed Battle Pass

It’s been suggested that adding an animal-themed battle pass to Overwatch 2 could be very appealing, given the enthusiasm from the community for more adorable animal characters like Jeff the Land Shark from Marvel Rivals. Characters like Illari, Juno, Widowmaker, and Ashe were highlighted in a November 2024 survey with this theme, but there’s certainly room for more characters to join in. The feline skins of Mercy, D.Va, and Sombra have been particularly popular among fans, suggesting that further exploration of this idea could result in an enjoyable season.

Notable inclusions are topics related to Formal Wedding settings, popular internet humor within communities (Community Memes), and celestial entities. Previously, these themes have been incorporated into the game, albeit not as extensive, overarching battle pass themes. The Winton keepsake from Overwatch 2 Season 10 was highly appreciated by the community, suggesting that a whole season dedicated to long-standing community jokes could be just as successful if Blizzard were to pursue this idea.
