Overwatch 2 Season 15 will potentially feature a new competitive weapon skin

Since Overwatch's debut, the game has featured only one competitive skin: the Golden Weapon. This remained true until the release of OW2 Season 9, which introduced the title's second-ever competitive weapon skin: the Jade Weapons.

The introduction of the Jade Weapons was massive news in the community, becoming one of the most appealing features for competitive players.

Both these weapon skins were purchasable using Competitive Points, which could only be earned by winning Competitive games or drawing them.

According to the Director's Take, Overwatch 2 Season 15 will retire the Jade Weapons. However, Aaron Keller has hinted at a new set of competitive weapon skins to replace them. Here's what the game director had to say about it:

"Keeping Competitive Weapons limited to the year gives them the ability to tell that story. Some of you have been hoping for a weapon skin that has a higher end look to it, and we’ve got something for 2025 that is pretty spectacular. So, while Jade Weapon Variants are going away for now, we’ve got an amazing new weapon variant to collect in 2025 that will be out of this world!"

Naturally, this news has excited fans, as it strongly suggests a potential galaxy-themed weapon skin coming in the next few weeks.

The addition of a new competitive weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15 is an excellent way to kick-start the new year and incentivize players to compete in the ranked ladder. Moreover, with a 6v6 competitive mode joining the game's ranked mode, we believe the upcoming season will be one of the best.
