Overwatch League’s away skins, which wraps heroes in white with pops of teams’ colors, are now available in Overwatch. Players can unlock away skins alongside any home skin—so it’s two new skins for 100 Overwatch League tokens.
Away skins were added to Overwatch with the game’s Winter Wonderland 2018 update. For fans that already bought Overwatch League skins, away skins will be automatically unlocked the next time Overwatch is opened. The deal applies to all 2018 season teams—Boston Uprising, Dallas Fuel, Florida Mayhem, Houston Outlaws, London Spitfire, Los Angeles Gladiators, Los Angeles Valiant, New York Excelsior, Philadelphia Fusion, San Francisco Shock, Seoul Dynasty, and Shanghai Dragons.

Skins for the Overwatch League’s eight expansion teams haven’t been added to the game yet, but they’ll get the same home and away treatment when they’re added ahead of the Feb. 14 start date.
Previously, away Overwatch League skins were only available to those who had the Overwatch League All-Access Pass. Just 12 heroes were assigned away skins that were unlockable through the pass: D.Va, Ana, Zarya, Genji, Sombra, Lúcio, Widowmaker, Orisa, Winston, Reinhardt, Zenyatta, and Junkrat. But now, everyone’s got ‘em.
There are 312 home Overwatch League skins in Overwatch. With the away skins added in, there are now 624 total skins for the Overwatch League—something for nearly everyone that plays the game.
The Overwatch League will begin the 2019 season on Feb. 14 at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles. A full schedule is expected soon.
