If players are wondering about details for Overwatch 2's Season 11, they can find everything they'll need to know right here.
Those who are thinking of dressing up their favorite Overwatch 2 hero appropriately as the seasons change, then keep reading, as we're going to be looking at ten particularly noteworthy summer skins that are sure to make a splash as the weather gets warmer.
10 Lifeguard Cassidy
Blindingly Blonde
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
There have been lifeguard skins for several different heroes in Overwatch 2, including Mercy, Lifeweaver, and Kiriko, but Cassidy was the very first character to get a lifeguard skin back when Overwatch 1 was still around, so it seems right to include this skin on the list.
Cassidy is missing his shirt with this outfit, as is to be expected from a lifeguard, but he does have a fetching pair of red lifeguard swimming trunks and a colorful towel wrapped around his shoulders to replace his poncho. He sports a bleach-blonde hairdo to go with the whole beach bum look and has also had his revolver replaced with a flare gun.
9 Ice Cream Orisa
The Perfect Treat
- Epic Skin
- Purchasable for 1000 Overwatch Coins
For those craving something a little sweeter with a summer-themed Overwatch 2 skin, Ice Cream Orisa is an excellent choice. The details on the new textures make this skin stand out, such as the waffle cone textures on Orisa's legs, the dripping chocolate spread throughout, and the sprinkling of nuts.
The skin is topped off with a literal cherry and some whipped cream, finishing off the Neapolitan ice cream theme perfectly.
8 Sand Castle Bastion
It's Coarse and Rough, and it Gets Everywhere
- Epic Skin
- Purchasable for 1000 Overwatch Coins
Bastion's Sand Castle skin is a fun skin that replaces the usual textures of Bastion's metallic omnic frame with a sandy design, making him look like he was crafted by a particularly talented beach-going child.
His head model is replaced by a green and plastic upside-down sand castle pail, and this colorful plastic design is used throughout the design for the nuts and bolts that connect Bastion's limbs. Bastion's bird companion, Ganymede, becomes a seagull with this skin, and he wears a blue, red, green, and yellow tank top to match Bastion's color scheme, along with some fetching sunglasses.
7 Poolside Ashe
Pink Hair and Pink Flamingoes
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
Ashe tends to be one of the more intimidating Overwatch 2 heroes, so it's always nice to see her let loose with a more laid-back skin. The Poolside Ashe skin is a great example of this, depicting what both she and her large omnic butler companion, Bob, would look like while enjoying a day out at the beach.
Ashe sports a pink ombre hairstyle and wears a swimsuit, complete with arm floaties and a new water gun look for her rifle. Bob also has floaties, though he is on his legs and a cheesy Hawaiian shirt. The flamingo inflatable hat is the standout element of Bob's Poolside look.
6 Surf's Up Echo
Hot Robot Girl Summer
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
Echo's summer Surf's Up skin is incredibly pretty and fascinating to look at, thanks to the water effect that flows through the parts of Echo's body that aren't covered up with armor. She also has an eye-catching, anime-style hairdo (even though it isn't technically hair, it's as close as one can get) and surfboards that replace her regular wings.
Make sure to have the Paddleboard emote equipped when using the Surf's Up skin, as Echo will use her surfboard wings to start paddleboarding.
5 Scuba Sigma
Diligent Diver
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
Sigma might be older than some of the other characters, but he can still rock the shirtless summer look, as demonstrated by his Scuba skin. Sigma is showing a lot of skin with this outfit, as he dons some rather tight swim shorts and a scuba diving contraption connected to his back and shoulders.
He also has flippers and is sporting fancy facial hair. Players who are keen to get an eyeful of Sigma's surprisingly rock-hard abs and impressive calves are sure to want to get their hands on this summer skin.
4 Beachrat Junkrat
Australian Winter
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
This is the only skin on this list released for the Winter Wonderland event rather than the Summer Games, thanks to Australia having summer during the months that we consider winter (thanks to the Equator). Junkrat has the typical beach bum attire with this skin, such as arm floaties, swimming trunks, and sandals. He also has a blob of sunscreen haphazardly smeared on his nose and bright yellow sunglasses.
One of Junkrat's Best Overwatch 2 Skins is Hiding an Adorable Detail
While inspecting some of the Overwatch 2 skins for Junkrat, one player discovers a subtle and adorable detail on one of the more popular ones.
The best part of this skin is the giant rubber ducky that replaces Junkrat's rip-tire. It's hard not to smile when players see it on the battlefield, even if it is on its way to blow them into tiny pieces.
3 Grillmaster Soldier 76
Raising the Steaks
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
There is no denying that Soldier 76 gives off plenty of dad vibes, and his Grillmaster 76 skin only cements this idea. This skin is all about those middle-aged man stereotypes, such as a love of the grill, steak-related puns, khaki shorts, and wearing socks with sandals.
Along with a floral shirt and reflective sunglasses, the skin also includes an apron with various grilling utensils attached. Said apron is also adorned with one of those aforementioned steak puns. The Overwatch community was overjoyed with this skin when it was released, as it perpetuated the Dad 76 persona that fans had given Soldier 76. If players are among those Dad 76 fans, this is the summer skin for them.
2 Mermaid Symmetra
The Little Architect
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
Symmetra is a hero who has some awesome skins in Overwatch 2, and her mermaid skin is undoubtedly one of the best summer skins. The Mermaid skin is not only pretty, thanks to the iridescent blue, purple, and turquoise color scheme, but it's also designed in a clever way to make it look like Symmetra has a mermaid tail (without removing her legs).
She wears leggings with a scale texture that have fin-like flaps hanging down her legs, making it look like a tail is swishing behind her when she moves. The skin is finished off by gorgeous, long, white locks and bright, turquoise eyes.
1 Surf 'n' Splash Torbjorn
Showing Some Skin
- Legendary Skin
- Purchasable for 1500 Credits
Despite the other summer skins on this list all being great in their own way, Torb's Surf 'n' Splash is undoubtedly the ultimate summer skin that players will find in Overwatch 2. Torbjorn rocks a pair of blue Speedos and an orange fanny pack around his waist. That already sounds amazing, but it only gets better from there. His claw hand is recolored to look like an orange plastic beach toy, complete with sticker decorations, and his hammer is now an inflatable.
His rivet gun has been transformed into a water gun and his backpack has two plastic sandcastle pails attached. Torb also dons a fashionable orange swim cap and has decorative shells in his beard. The skin is finished with two plastic green fish that cling to the ends of Torbjorn's beard. It's stylish, it's summery, and it features a scantily clad Torb. These elements come together to not only make Surf 'n' Splash the best summer skin, but quite possibly the best skin that Overwatch 2 has to offer.
