Overwatch 2 Players Have the Chance to Get Azure Hanzo Skin

For a limited time, Overwatch 2 players will be able to obtain the Legendary Azure Flame Hanzo skin and other accessories based on the popular hero. The new Overwatch 2 skin will be available leading up to the first in-person Overwatch Champions Series event near the end of the month.

Despite the controversies that came with Overwatch 2’s launch, the game became highly successful and drew in millions of players around the world. Like the original Overwatch game, Blizzard supports Overwatch 2 with a steady stream of seasonal content, updates, and new cosmetics. These cosmetics, including skins, allow players to customize their favorite heroes and add a personal touch before heading into battle. Overwatch 2’s Mythic skins are some of the most coveted, so players were frustrated when Blizzard temporarily disabled these cosmetics due to strange bugs that were affecting online play. Mythic skins are available again in Overwatch 2, and players should be able to acquire the new Azure Flame Hanzo skin without any issues either.

Blizzard confirmed that the new paid Azure Flame Hanzo skin is now available from May 21 to June 3 in Overwatch 2. The skin is available in the Azure Flame Hanzo Crowdfunding Bundle with 25% of the revenue generated from sales going into the prize pool for the Overwatch Champions Series DreamHack Dallas Major event, which takes place from May 31 to June 2. Like past Overwatch 2 bundles, the new Azure Flame Hanzo bundle includes additional accessories, including the Azure Moon name card, Azure Flame player icon, Azure Guardian spray, and Dragon Guardian weapon charm.

Blizzard Reveals Azure Flame Hanzo Crowdfunding Bundle

• Available from May 21 to June 3
• Includes:
  • Legendary Azure Flame Hanzo skin
  • Azure Moon Name Card
  • Azure Flame Player Icon
  • Azure Guardian Spray
  • Dragon Guardian Weapon Charm

According to Blizzard, the new Azure Flame Hero skin is meant to “evoke the unstoppable power of our top-tier competitors.” Skin designer TB Choi focused on making players feel “powerful” with the skin equipped in Overwatch 2, and natural lightning, thunder, storm, and flame motifs were the main inspirations for the new skin. The skin may aesthetically empower players in Overwatch 2 competitive modes, but players playing more casually may still enjoy the new skin.

Overwatch 2 players interested in the upcoming Overwatch Champions Series Esports event can also earn various rewards by tuning in on Twitch and YouTube. Twitch and YouTube users watching the event may earn free in-game rewards such as the Dallas Major – Day player icon, Rodeo Ashe spray, Porsche Drift spray, and OWCS Home weapon charm by having up to 12 hours of watch time. These rewards may also be earned by watching featured co-streamers, similar to Overwatch 2’s recent Twitch Drops campaign.
