Blizzard is aware Overwatch fans are tired of seeing its fanciest skins go to the same heroes and it's 'the number one' thing it's working to fix next
Overwatch has over 40 heroes at this point, each with their own legion of fans. Blizzard can't make everyone happy when it comes to releasing new skins, but its most recent skins have fans convinced it's playing favorites.

Blizzard has started to drop Mythic skins for heroes who already have them, upsetting those who've waited years to see their favorite heroes get their first one. These fancy skins have customizable parts and change the visual effects on abilities. They're also the most expensive skins in the game at around $70, or 80 Mythic Prisms, a currency acquired by completing tiers on the battle pass or purchasing directly from the shop.
Only two Mythic skins come out every season, which is why many players are frustrated seeing some heroes get more while others have none. The ire around repeat Mythics comes up every time another one comes out, but has grown more intense as the trend continues. The recent Mythic Void Widowmaker skin—her second Mythic—saw an overwhelmingly negative response because it arrived in the same season Genji got his second Mythic skin.
In an interview with PC Gamer, art director Dion Rogers said the team never intentionally leaves out certain heroes from Mythic discussions. "It's just more of what the team is excited about in the moment, or the very cool ideas sitting in front of us basically," he said. Some heroes are easier to get to than others, he added.

But Rogers said the team has seen the feedback about repeat Mythics and is going to work on spreading them out better in the future. Specifically, he said it'll be "the number one thing" the team will start to conceptualize next.
"We've done recently a big blue-sky sketch, like hit as many as these guys as possible and see if something jumps out," he said.
Skins presumably take a while to come together, so I wouldn't expect to see a wider variety of Mythics for several months, but it's promising to hear that some of the less conventional heroes might finally get their own time to shine soon.

Diablo 4 season 15 is officially live following server issues and delay
Diablo 4's 15th season, Season of Hell's Legacy, is officially live following a brief delay apparently caused by server issues.
Blizzard fully lifted the lid on Season of Hell's Legacy during BlizzCon 2026, showing off a nostalgic seasonal questline celebrating the entire history of the Diablo series coinciding with its 30th birthday—and confirming a September 15 release date. It's definitely one of the meatiest seasons so far for Diablo 4, so it's not a huge surprise that players had been reporting server issues all day today, leading Blizzard to delay it altogether without confirming a new time/date. Well, thankfully that turned out to be a brief delay, as Blizzard has announced that Season of Hell's Legacy is officially live "now."
I have also logged in and created a character in the Seasonal realm without issue. It is worth noting, however, that Solo Self Found mode has been temporarily disabled and there's no known timeline for its return.
In advance of the new Amazon class next year, Diablo 4 is whisking players off all the way back to the series' roots with a new seasonal activity called Waking Nightmares, which are essentially quests recreating the most iconic boss fights in the series' history. Longtime players will appreciate the return of beloved characters like Deckard Cain as well as some less beloved but equally familiar faces like Mephisto, Baal, and at long last, Diablo himself as Diablo 4's long-awaited final, final boss.
There is something of a horned elephant in the room with Diablo 5 having been announced at BlizzCon and the implications for Diablo 4. And yes, Blizzard has confirmed there will be no more full-blown Diablo 4 expansions as it turns to focus on Diablo 5, but it has also confirmed that seasonal updates like this one will continue to drop for the foreseeable future.
As Skyblivion's launch approaches, the team is looking for help to get the word out
The gears are still grinding on Skyblivion, the massive mod that aims to recreate The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion in the newer, prettier technology of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition. A release date still hasn't been announced, but it's definitely getting closer—and once again, the dev team is asking for help.
What's notable, though, is the kind of help the developers are looking for: Not to finish the mod, but to tell the world about it.
As we approach #Skyblivion's launch, we’re looking for volunteers to join our communications team! If you have experience in video production or social media, we’d love your help collaborating on everything from trailer creation to developer interviews.

"With our release getting closer, our communications team is expanding—and we need your help spreading the word!" the dev team wrote on the Skyblivion Discord. "We’re looking for volunteers with a background in video production or social media to help support projects like trailer editing, gameplay captures, and developer interviews. You'll be working alongside our communications department to get the word out!"
Nothing about the state of the mod was shared, and that remains the big question. Skyblivion was supposed to be out in 2025 but in December of that year was pushed into 2026. In April of this year, Skyblivion project lead Rebelzize admitted "there's always the chance shit hits the fan and we suffer another major setback," but added that "from what I see internally, I am pretty optimistic."
The team has been mostly quiet since then, apart from a couple calls for assistance on Discord and social media, and a tribute to modder Kettlewitch, "a close friend and mentor," who died in June. Gearing up for a promotional push is surely a sign that the end is in sight, but no guarantee of anything imminent—and with less than four months remaining in the year, 'imminent' is just about essential to avoid another delay.
Which would not be the end of the world. Skyblivion is a volunteer project, so fortunes will not be won or lost on its scheduling. But a delay would be disappointing: It's been in development since 2012, and it sure would be nice to get to play it, rather than just talk about it.
