Overwatch 2 Season 3 Battle Pass could have a potential Japanese theme

Overwatch 2 Season 3 will be released soon, and Blizzard has revealed the Mythic skin that players can unlock through the premium track of the upcoming Battle Pass.

Called Amaterasu Kiriko, it is named after the Japanese sun goddess, indicating that the rumors of a Japanese mythology theme for Season 3 may indeed be accurate. The outfit is a fusion of samurai and jūnihitoe, a traditional style of Japanese royal dress, and depicts the support hero in an impressive and regal manner.
