Overwatch 2 players are already bracing themselves for an expensive future, thanks to a newly revealed set of dazzling magical girl skins.
The recent Spotlight event gave fans a sneak peek at a variety of exciting content planned for upcoming seasons, and while Season 15 is just around the corner - launching on Tuesday, February 18 - players are already looking ahead to what’s coming beyond.
Overwatch 2’s Future Looks Magical – And Expensive
Blizzard’s Spotlight event showcased numerous new features that are set to shake up Overwatch 2’s gameplay and cosmetic offerings. Among the major reveals were an innovative perk system, the jaw-dropping Galactic weapon variant, two brand-new heroes, and the introduction of Stadium mode. But while these additions sparked plenty of hype, it was the unveiling of a new batch of skins that truly stole the show.
Overwatch 2 is preparing to introduce a set of vibrant, anime-inspired magical girl skins in a future season. Dubbed DokiWatch, this collection features bright color palettes, cutesy aesthetics, and weapon designs that seem to be lifted straight from a classic Mahou Shoujo anime. Fans who grew up watching iconic series like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura will find these skins especially nostalgic.
Which Heroes Are Getting the Magical Girl Treatment?
So far, Blizzard has confirmed that Freja, Kiriko, Widowmaker, Brigitte, Juno, and D.Va will be receiving their own DokiWatch skins. Additionally, Mercy and Reaper will be getting exclusive mythic weapon skins that fit the magical girl theme. While there is currently no in-game footage of these skins available, early concept art has already sent the community into a frenzy.

Some users even joked about the extreme lengths they’d go to in order to afford the skins. “I don’t even main any of these heroes, but I’m buying every single one,” one person declared, while another quipped, “I’m ready to sell my kidney.”
