The next hero to receive a Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15 might be the Tank, Winston. Overwatch 2 has already revealed the Mythic weapon skin for Season 14 which will be Ashe’s Lead Rose and judging by the pattern of release we can somewhat deduce which hero could receive the next Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15.

A Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 is similar to a Mythic hero skin, having multiple unlockable upgrades that further improve its look and feel. These Mythic weapon skins have been released since Season 11 and so far Reinhardt, Ana, and Soldier:76 have been lucky enough to get one.

Having said that, this article will provide a brief overview as to which hero might receive the next Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15.

Which hero could possibly receive the next Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15?

The next hero to receive a Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15 might be from the Tank category.

Every season Overwatch 2 releases a new Mythic weapon skin for one specific hero in their roster. The first to ever receive a Mythic weapon skin was the Tank hero, Reinhardt, followed by Ana, and finally Soldier:76 in Season 13. Season 14 is set to bring Ashe’s Lead Rose skin marking the fourth Mythic weapon skin in the game.

Considering the pattern, the first skin went to a Tank, the second one was for a Support, and the third was for a Damage hero. With the fourth Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 belonging to another Damage hero, it is quite clear that the developers will not release a new Mythic weapon skin for the same class in consecutive seasons. This rules out all the Damage heroes for Season 15.

Among Tanks and Supports, arguments can be made for both classes to receive the next Mythic weapon skin. However, we can further narrow down the possibilities to a Tank class hero based on a few other factors.

Firstly, the game has more Tanks than Support heroes, at this moment. This makes a Tank hero more likely to receive the next Mythic weapon skin. Furthermore, it has been three seasons since a Tank has received a Mythic weapon skin, making it more likely for that class to be the next.

Among the Tanks, it is extremely difficult to predict which hero will be shown some love in the upcoming season. However, one of the heroes from the original roster has a higher chance of getting selected, considering they have been a part of the game for a longer period. This makes Winston the most likely choice to receive the next Mythic weapon skin in Overwatch 2 Season 15, as Reinhardt has already received his share.


It is important to note that these are all speculations based on the previous release patterns and the information above has no official source. Still, it's only a matter of time before we get to Overwatch 2 Season 15, and the reveal of the next Mythic weapon skin.
