Overwatch is making big changes to its battle pass as part of Season 4, with a new multi-track system that even gives players an option to swap out and replace a skin they don’t want.
As explained in a new “Director’s Take” blog post by Overwatch product director Chris McCabe, Blizzard said it recognizes that due to Overwatch’s ever-expanding roster of 50+ heroes, not every battle pass will have rewards for the heroes a particular player is most excited about.
The solution Blizzard is introducing is to not only break the battle pass into smaller chunks so players can more quickly pursue the rewards that interest them the most, but also offer an option to change some of the rewards entirely.
Starting in Season 4, players will be able to, once per premium battle pass purchase, “hack” a legendary skin at the end of a reward track and replace it with a “curated list of past Overwatch shop and loot box skins,” McCabe said.
