Overwatch 2 Gives Epic Skin to Players Via Microsoft Rewards
It's important to note that despite being available via Microsoft Rewards, the giveaway of Lucio's epic skin can only be accessed by players from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Singapore. Released in Overwatch 2 Season 11, the skin gives Lucio an appearance reminiscent of an octopus, with the character's outfit having a pinkish hue, eyes similar to those of a mollusk, and hair in the shape of tentacles. The Octopus Lucio skin was originally released in the Shop as part of the Starter Pack, which, for $39.99 USD, gave players the cosmetic and 1,000 Overwatch Coins.
In addition to the return of the Lucio skin, Season 12 of Blizzard's hero shooter is filled with other cosmetics that players can obtain in different ways. Some of the most notable releases of the current season include the Doomfist Bast, Echo Astet, Pharah Nefertari, and Reaper Anubis skins, all based on Egyptian mythology. Blizzard is expanding the Polar skin series with new outfits for Reinhardt, Genji, Baptiste, Brigitte, and Lucio. The LE SSERAFIM skins are also back to Overwatch 2, allowing players to complete their collections with cosmetics inspired by the popular K-pop group that Blizzard released last year.
