Roadmap
As always, Blizzard shared the roadmap for Season 4, highlighting the major additions coming to the game.
Map Reworks
As revealed on the Midseason Championship at EWC 26, this season brings reworks to three core maps: Eichenwalde, Paraiso, and Busan.
You can check out all the changes in the video below:
New Hero: D.Mon
D.Mon is the next hero joining the game with Season 4, and she will become the 53rd playable character in the game. Her real name is Yuna Lee, and she is described as one of the most responsible members of the MEKA squad, always putting the mission above everything else.
You can read about her lore, role, abilities, perks, and more here, as we have gathered all the important information before her release.
Battle Pass Rework
The battle pass will receive a rework at the start of the season, allowing players to swap one skin among the rewards for another item in the swap pool. Players will also be able to choose the order in which they want to complete the pass.
The rework will come with a brand-new UI that will allow the new functions to show up properly.
On top of that, the mid-season update for Season 4 will introduce a new unvaulting system so players can get access to rewards from previous battle passes. However, unvaulted passes won't include original premium currency, mythic prisms, prestige titles, or mythic hero skins.
Cosmetics and Skins
Here is a preview of the legendary skins that will be available through the battle pass:
In terms of new mythics, Genji is receiving a second one titled Koi of Duality and here is a first look:
Sojourn will receive a new mythic weapon skin titled Eternal Crystal, and you can take a good look in the image below (and in the trailer):
Two skin collections will drop into the shop at the start of the season: Young Gods and Fleece and Fangs. Young Gods includes skins for Kiriko, Jetpack Cat, Wuyang, Freja, and Doomfist. You can see them below:
On the other hand, the Fleece and Fangs collection will bring skins for Juno, Mei, Hanzo, Reaper, Vendetta, and Mercy.
Both collections will stay in the shop for almost three weeks, rotating out on August 30.
Other Details
Here are other minor details we can point out about the new season, so you don't miss out on anything:
- A new collaboration with Le Sserafim is coming this season, as teased at the end of the Season 4 trailer.
- A new rank, Emerald, will be added to Competitive and will be positioned between Platinum and Diamond. All accounts will get reset at the start of the season.
