Overwatch's Director Explains Why the Same Few Heroes Keep Getting Skins

Overwatch game director Aaron Keller said in a group interview that spreading content across a roster nearing 55 heroes makes skin and story support "tricky," and that the team must prioritize heroes who "support the actual bottom-line business." He hopes the two customizable Mythic skins released each season, a format started in October 2025, let the team support overlooked heroes alongside proven sellers. The current season, which began on October 6, launched with a Mythic skin for Wuyang.
