Roadmap
Take a look at the season's roadmap to get an overview of everything that's been added:
New Map: Neon Junction
Neon Junction is a brand-new Hybrid map set in Tokyo, Japan. This map was originally announced at the first Overwatch Spotlight presentation in February 2025, where Aaron Keller teased it by showing one of the concept arts.
Hero 52: Shion
As seen in the trailer, the next hero joining the game is Shion, and she is none other than the leader of the Hashimoto clan, a crime syndicate operating in Japan. Here is her trailer in case you haven't seen it:

Yoasobi Collaboration
A new collaboration with artists Yoasobi will arrive on Tuesday, June 30, at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST). The crossover will include a new short story, a new collaboration song, and a new animated music video.
In terms of in-game content, the following heroes will receive skins based on the musical duo: Kiriko, Genji, Hanzo, and more. As you can see below, the Kiriko skin has already been revealed.
A teaser for the upcoming collaboration was also released, and you can watch it in the following post:
Skins and Cosmetics
Here is a look at all the legendary cosmetics included in the battle pass for this season:
For the start of the season, Illari will receive her first mythic skin, titled Ascendant Phoenix. You can see one of her colors below:
Hanzo will be the recipient of the new mythic weapon, titled Tokyo Rebel, and here is a look at it:
For the shop skins, three skinlines have been revealed, and each one will be added at different times throughout the season. The first one is called Street Rebels and includes skins for Junker Queen, Mercy, Jetpack Cat, Wuyang, and Mizuki.
The next skinline is called Spellcasters and includes skins for Venture, Lifeweaver, Reinhardt, Zenyatta, and Tracer.
The last skinline is titled Nyan Cafe and includes skins for Sierra, Ashe, Orisa, Ramattra, and Kiriko.
Sierra and Kiriko's skins in this group are special since they are the first Ultra skins in the game. This is a new category of cosmetics above legendary, that will feature more VFXs, but won't have some exclusive features to mythic skins like color variation.
As seen in the trailer, new OWCS Partner Team packs are coming to the shop, meaning some of the partnered teams will get their own cosmetics.
